alice in wonderland gift idea *self made*

[lynne192]

since royal mail has stoped working in my area because of the weather i have had to decided to make my own christmas gifts, anyways one of the things i thought would be kinda cool would be a alice in wonderland idea....

get a cake box and write "now your in wonderland" on it
inside i am going to place a homemade and decorated cake with a tag saying "eat me" on it
A small bottle of something with "drink me" tag on it...
a heart shapped cookie and a little tophat style cake....

the bottle and cake from the book/movie to grow and shirnk alice
the heart for the queen of hearts and the top hat for the hatter....

what does everyone think?

would love imput and suggestions
