Initial Thoughts On Brotherly Love

It was my brother's birthday this week. I wasn't sure what to get him, so decided to go for something a little different - I gave him 6 small food gifts

If  you look carefully, at the parcels, you will see they are labelled with letters
A - D - R -I - A - N
that is
A = Ale
D = Dip
R = Root vegetable crisps
I = I.P.A.
A = All Butter Biscuits
N = Nuts
my original intention had been A = Almonds, and then have N = Nachos but there were none in store, hence the A.B. biscuits and Nuts.





He seemed to enjoy unwrapping each letter. I am not sure I could manage this for all my family. 
Bob could have Beer/Olives/Biscuits 
and Jon could have Jam/Onions
/Nachos
but what would I give Liz? Limes/Irish Cheddar/Zucchini...or would she want the full ELIZABETH
Perhaps this could be a new party game - I packed a hamper for my friend called "???" and in it I put "???"

    Oh Steph, I wish I had P in my name... I am not thinking of anyone else. I am going out later to buy ... Hmmm. Actually must have a think about this!

    I thought this was a brilliant idea and was about to pinch it for a fun Christmas stocking until I remembered that I have two people called Alex. Any ideas for the x and we still might be on ☺

      X is a tough one, I have Xacuti curry powder but that's all I could come up with.

      Brilliant idea for a gift.

    X is a problem. You could perhaps use Herscheys Kisses - or relabel something Xocolatl, which is apparently the original Mexican word from which we get chocolate. Xylitol and Xanthan Gum are other less exciting Xs.

    Not come across xacuti curry powder. I have discovered Delia uses it as one of her 'cheat' ingredients,. Might be a good one if your gift recipient is a bit of a foodie

    A bottle of Wadworths '6X' would go down well...

    This is such a fun gift idea! Xmas cake or Xmas pudding for those with an X in their names?
