we use regular and small Jaffa cakes and also those huge Smarties,regular Smarties and tiny M&Ms (although shelves mysteriously free of these at present)
Anyone else have some really great ideas/know about mini versions of branded goods?

Does it have to be food? Superdrug does lots of mini sizes of shampoo, body lotion etc.

M&S do mini chocolate fingers, could use with Cadbury normal size?

think sweets or non food are better than big things like biscuits or you'll only get one exchange before being stuffed!
