I’ve been chopping up bits of fabric and playing with bits of ribbon and working out how best to package my Christmas pudding charms/coins (or tokens – still can’t decide what to call them!?).
And I think I’ve pinned it down, so I’ll give you a bit of a sneak preview – and of course I welcome any constructive criticism you feel like throwing my way!
Here is the final package containing the coins in their little box and a little folder with recipes for Christmas pudding and brandy sauce and other information.
And here it is all opened up so you can see some of what’s inside – the pudding tokens are wrapped up inside the little plastic box.
As I mentioned in a previous post I’m also awaiting delivery of some lovely looking fabric with cherries on it which I plan to use for Australians who purchase the pudding coins. For those who don’t know, cherries are everywhere at Christmas here and are very much associated with the festive season.
I still need to get the final set of vintage Christmas designs etched onto silver and cleaned up, but what do you think of the packaging at least?
I think it looks really nice. I lve in Northern England and we sometimes call grandmthers Nanas too.
i had a look at some of your jewelery and it is great.

these look wonderful! We have Pudding every year and still put OLD MOney into it wrapped in foil for fun! What a great idea!

Thanks to both of you!
We used to put silver threepences or sixpences into the Christmas pudding, but every few years one of these treasured coins would go missing and there aren’t a lot left. When my Nan died a few years ago the remainder went to my aunty.
So after much nagging from my Mum I made her a set last year in pure silver – and decided that there’s probably quite a few people who wish they had something like it, given how rare the old silver money is these days.
