Charms for the Christmas Pudding

When I was growing up we always had silver charms in the Christmas pudding - from memory we had a thimble, a pig, a button and others I can’t remember.
Over the years they’ve been lost and I’ve been appointed the job of replacing them.
Does anyone know where I can find some that aren’t rubbish (I can find cheapy ones for about £4.99 and also massively expensive sets for about £300!)
If anyone knows where to find a decent quality set for up to about £70 I’d be really grateful.

Also they don’t have to be real silver

No help sorry, but we always had a sixpence in our pudding. I like the idea of charms, off to google!!

I love the idea of using charms or a silver sixpence in our Christmas pudding, but am genuinely terrified of someone breaking a tooth or choking on it! Am I worrying unnecessarily?

Thanks so much Tooty - I’ve bought the ones you suggested - they’re almost exactly the same as the ones I grew up with.

Love the idea of monopoly peices Groovster!

Aquiver - the peices are small and we always make sure everyone gets one so people are feeling for them as they eat - no accidents as yet!
