CHRISTMAS TREAT BAGS / GINGERBREAD MEN

I found these mini gingerbread men in Marks & Spencer's Christmas range....

 sorry about the empty box, I forgot to take a pic before I used them (doh!)

I used Ginge's line from the Shrek movie "not my gumdrop buttons!"

The third gingerbread man was a tight fit so they are alittle wonky, but still cute!!!

 Oops empty packet again, but at least you know what your looking for.

"Run, run as fast as you can....."

you can't catch me a the gingerbread man!


They would be great with snowman soup or as stocking fillers.
