Reindeer Food - Help!

[98percentchocolate]

Somehow I have managed to volunteer myself to make a huge quantity of reindeer food for sale (charity).
How do I make it and where is the best price to buy loads of bags to put it in and glitter?
Please help!

I thought reindeers just ate carrots on Christmas Eve to help them see in the dark!
Do you want organza bags or paper ones? Or perhaps plastic ones with a custom print on for the charity?
Glitter I'd pick up from The Works or other cheapy store that does big tubs.

Value porridge oats and glitter. The works or wilkos for glitter.
Maybe try eBay for bags!

I was meant to give you the link for Organza gift bags but somehow pasted cellophane rolls! Anyway, it is on the Baker Ross site so have a look.

I've seen some organza bags in poundland. You may be lucky and be able to get some.

If you are putting your Reindeer food outside , the birds will eat it, so if you use glitter , they'll ingest it.

I made RF once (it lay outside like a pile of vomit ).

I had some Lakeland edible glitter kicking around (so I used it up) .
Added oats
And some granulated sugar with a few drops of food colour (shaken in a bag then dried)

It looked very pretty before it was lobbed onto the lawn in the rain

You could buy a length of that shiny net stuff from the material shop. Cut into squares, plonk a handful of food (chicken food is a lot easier to clear up!) in the middle and tie together with ribbon and an instruction label.
FWIW 70 I always find that reindeers much prefer to eat off of plates as they have limited time and don't want to go snuffling about in the grass :)

sugar cubes?
