Its a wrap



Yummy Swiss chocolate bars over-wrapped in aluminium foil, scrap-booking papers and pretty ribbons. (A festive transformation inspired by the words and beautiful pictures over at A Spoonful of Sugar).

All destined to be gifts for Mr HB's work team.

Mrs Hoppo Bumpo does the cutting, sticking and tying; Mr Hoppo Bumpo takes the glory.

  1. The husband taking credit for the wife's efforts is a time honoured Christmas tradition.
    They sure do look cute though. A few years ago I made some shortbreads and the husband asked if I could make a little package for everyone in his team. Ah, how many would that be? Oh, about 20 Yeah right.

  2. They look so lovely! I think you might need to add a gift tag to advertise the fact that Mrs Hoppo Bumpo did all the hard work!

  6. Looks fantastic! Lovely gifts.

    Sounds like our household. I mowed most of the lawn on the weekend (and it's a biiiiig lawn) and my mother-in-law gave the credit to Matt. OUTRAGEOUS.
