Dad's Birthday Pressies

This is the 'stuff' I've got together for my dad's birthday next week. He's got a wrapped box of Thorntons (he has a very sweet tooth!), a CD of songs from the year he was born, a sixpence peice in a little frame, a jar of 'facts' from the year he was born and an old age survival kit. He is notoriously difficult to buy for so I hope these things will at least put a smile on his face!!!
This is the contents of the survival kit.

These are little favour type 'thingies' for the table when we go out for his birthday meal. I used plain brown kraft paper and stamped the swirl on it, made the containers and added some ribbon at one end. I struggle with manly stuff but hope these will be ok ;-)
