I think you have done well with chocs ( i have only just got these in). Teddies i do not do so well with but maybe wrap them in cello with a bit of raffia or attach a balloon?? Also planted baskets did good for me on my first ones and good for people to take to lessen your stress, try to have some pick up and goes ready as you will almost certainly get a lot of impatient customers. range them from (can only tell you in english pounds) £10,£20 and then you could just have some small flowering plants for the kids? Just all ideas.

Hope this helps and good luck - have you done a window and some posters, i always find this helps and stick an a board outside with some balloons on to attract the attention on the day and on the lead up.

thank you tulips,how would u decorate window for mothers day? i currently got few fairies and one big silk arrangement in the window,
