Cool Kids - A Gift Idea for a Girl's Birthday

Remember this gift?

I mentioned in my post about gift wrapping, that I would reveal what was inside the parcel...


Well, first you must look back at the inspiration for the gift  Click here to see . A lovely idea, don't you think?


So... Miss A and I put together this gift....

So exactly what did we put together?

• a cute silicone cup cake baking tray - pink love hearts were a nice touch
• a fancy pink cake mix - any cake mix can make cupcakes, so don't limit yourself to just cupcake packs
• some gorgeous sparkly pink sprinkles in a very cute twisty cannister

We normally don't buy cards, we prefer to make them - but we were well under our budget and this card with cupcakes and pink swirls on it was too hard to resist.

I love this idea, I mean toys are fun but they don't hold interest for a long time. I thought that the cup cake pan and sprinkles might encourage some family time and encourage cooking skills. All good in my books...

Some other ideas I would like to use for cooking inspired gift ideas for children...

• Cute tea towel, apron and oven mits
• Pizza stone, rolling pin and an apron
• Cookie cutters, rolling pin and apron
• A recipe for biscuits with all the ingredients

What are some other 'out of the box' l gifts to give to a youngster?
