| 17 presents |
It was our babysitter's 17th birthday, so Pickle-Lily and I got together 17 (mostly) handmade presents. They were ...
- a finger of fudge - a finger of fudge is just enough to give the kids a treat (she looked at me very strangely when I sang it to her).
- smarties - got to have choccies on a birthday, and of course because only smarties know the answer.
- a flower drawing pin - from Paper and String
- a funky chicken - P calls her Mrs Chicken, inspired by After Hours ( I wanted to buy one from here, but couldn't organise it in time.)
- bath bombs
- bath confetti - both bought from some lovely ladies at Weare Street Fair.
- body butter
- soap - because you have to have smellies for a birthday gift.
- a painted birthday girl stone paperweight
- a painted slate decoration - both from a lovely lady I met at a fair, who sadly doesn't have a blog or website!
- a party popper
- a packet of lovehearts
- a pot of bubbles - you are never too old for bubbles!
- a phone sock from Pickle-Lily
- a felt keyring
- a student survival kit
- all in a pretty bag made by Pickle-Lily herself for Mrs Chicken!
Once again a big thank-you to Wendy for hosting / organising Handmade Monday.

I love themed gifts and 17 almost handmade perfect. I can remember the fudge song along with crunchie just goes to show ads do have a lasting impression
What a lovely thoughtful and pretty selection of gifts! They look lovely all together. Happy birthday to your babysitter x
I love receiving and giving presents like this, sometimes so much better than one big one :)
A lovely group of presents, as much much fun making, selecting and giving as in receiving.
Well done.

A great selection of presents.I'm sure she was thrilled!
This is great isn't it?! I've done this a few times for different people and I honestly love putting it together as much as they seemed to love receiving it!
That's so kind, and really fun!
Must go and see how I do my posts cos i didn't know you could add captions either. Great idea for the collection of prezzies. Hugs Mrs A.
What lovely thoughtful gifts. You'd only want to copy the age/number of presents idea up to a certain point though - don't think I'll do it for my Grandma! xx
