Surprise Packages


It's such fun to surprise someone with a themed package, so now that I have a nephew who is away at university I thought it would be fun to create a Halloween-themed package to send to him. 


First place to start was with some baking: meringue bones and almond shortbread witches' fingers.


Then a selection of Halloween candies: salt-water taffy pumpkin faces and ghostly chocolates.


Added in a black cherry-flavoured skull lollipop...


and an elegant mask, a tiny pumpkin that can be turned into a Jack o'lantern by drawing on a face with black marker, salt-water taffy treats and candy sticks in Halloween colours.


Mustn't forget a pair of bloody eyeballs.


Those witches' fingers really are creepy...


 Best to hide them away in a box packed with black construction paper that I put through the shredder.  I've sealed the box tight and mailed it off!
