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.......
;D
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
In years to come folk'll be eating the wrappers and throwing the chocs away. ::)
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
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.
the new celebrations tins (Plastic boxes ) are microwavable ;D and have a lid just like Tupperware ;D they even say please reuse me :o
