I'm assuming the purchaser wasn't a dentist or a dietitian?   ???   >:(

If someone had done that when my daughter was younger I'd have emptied the contents, given her two chopsticks and told her it was a drum.   ;)  ;D

I apiece, what happened to 1 per family. My granddaughter was given a Nintendo ds. She's 4 for G.ds sake, she can't even say it. Sorry to hijack this post. I feel sorry 4 kids nowadays because their expectations are raised almost from birth, from designer pushchairs and clothes to toys. I just wish their life aspirations were always able to enable them to sustain this 'luxurious' standard of living.

I agree,my grandkids have been given the update on last years version of whatever it is called ,and so expensive,makes me cringe.But like all good ma in laws you do this :-X and this ;D and not this :o

This post has reminded me,I put a tin of Roses and Quality street in the loft ages ago to stop my naughty fingers and I had forgotten them.Shows don't need em really.

Can not imagine buying those for kids with all the lovely choice you have.

Nuts anyone?My son in law owns a wholesale nut place,the sort you see hanging in bags on racks in the supermarket,he has given me about a years supply ;D

bluddy el!, chill out mates :D

KT's been away, but , even if MrsKT ain't been an Absent Mother ::), wot's wrong with a gift of a tin of chocs to the kiddies? Shoorly it's how the sweeties are doled/rationed out that's important? Prezzie like that.....it''ll serve them til....oooh, bout April I reckon?.....an will teach them Orl Sorts of the discipline of Choices in Life.......

Now I feel really, really guilty as I have eaten all the chocs and not recycled the wrappers.  Ate all the quality street that were meant for the grandchildren before Christmas and had to buy a tin of Roses.  Limit myself to 10 a night.  Just protecting the childrens teeth, they have enough sweets nowadays, not like when sweets were a real treat.  That's my excuse, surprised I haven't made myself sick, only the hard centres left now.

It is a sad moment when after much sifting you find only the hard ones left.

Thinking of you at this sad time ;D

[Levi]

In years to come folk'll be eating the wrappers and throwing the chocs away.  ::)

[Borlotti]

The tins are very useful for cakes, stale mince pies and of course seeds.  That is really the reason I buy them.  Bought a cake tin in John Lewis when I was rich and working and it cook me nearly £10.  I think the Roses one is better as it is round (for cakes) and the Quality Street OK for biscuits, unless one makes funny shape cakes.

I have got mine going back years.I wrap up my fragile Christmas decs and keep them in the tins.Also various papers ,and of course seeds ;D

[Hyacinth]

ROFL at Betula  ;D ;D ;D

An Dunno if it's Quality Street or Roses, but.....imagine a large tin, empty cept for those gold-coloured toffee 'coin' cum Easter??

That's what I meant by Choices for Life  ;D ;D ;D

PS Agree with the Lasting Mult-Purpose  Qualities of the Tins 8)

The purchaser was not a family member.  Even visitors decline the offer of some quality street as they say they have too many sweets of their own......   ::) ::)

It is Christmas, so we eat a few sweets, just work it off at the Lotty. Never mind using them for cake tins just think of the uses in the shed, storing seeds etc.
