Oh they're so cute. Wish I'd seen a collection like that here to buy from.
There is a craft chain here that has tins at Christmas, but nothing like
that range. There are some cute boxes around in various stores - I got some
cute bucket shaped ones with penguins on this year. I give quite a few
homemade foodie gifts (biscuits (cookies), fudge etc.), particularly to
neighbours and colleagues. As well as using tins and boxes I hit the $2
shops and buy cheap Christmas platters or bowls, arrange the goodies on
them and wrap up with Christmas printed cellophane that I get from the cake
decorating store. I make up some gift tags on the computer - gift from
Rhonda's kitchen sort of thing - and tie on with some Christmas ribbon.
