Chicken Themed Christmas Present Ideas?

So, I saw a thread else where on Mumsnet, asking for one of those ceramic hens for storing eggs in.

Got me to thinking, how or what could we give, as a family, as Xmas presents, based around the whole 'keeping chickens' thing?

When it was the summer holidays, the children both decorated an egg box each and then we sent some of our very own eggs in for both their teachers. Teachers loved it! It was novel and the kids were dead proud!

Now then, thinking along the same lines...I'm wondering about 'Paint your own egg cups' for children but haven't got an idea for adults? Any suggestions?

You can get those metal shapes for frying eggs in IYKWIM.
Or things for poaching eggs?

Ooo-er NBG - went off in search of fried egg 'shapes' and stumbled across this! Brill and not too expensive!

There is a company that specialises in chicken themed presents but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. I'll have a google later to see if I can find it again.

Book of egg recipes?

Egg cosies?

Doodle2U · 04/11/2008 17:32

Yes! Found a couple of egg recipe books whilst searching around CTJ! Nice for adult pressies! I think I'd be quite pleased to get one off a friend - with half a dozen eggs!

Yes!
That was what I was looking for.
Lakeland used to sell them but I cannot seem to find them on their website. They have loads of poaching stuff though.

If you go over to the arts and crafts board or give a shout out to Tillyboo, she makes gorgeous little egg cosies and I'm sure she'd be more than happy to do some for you.
