      Devi

      That's where you trick them! Grab any old box and stuff it with filling and hide the soft toy inside! :)

      Great tip! I spent about twenty minutes trying to wrap a dressing gown before getting fed up and just tying a ribbon round it. :D

      Haha! Thankfully they didn't turn him green! It's more the over-sized ears that gave him the Yoda look! I will try to get a picture up later, do we already have a pet thread?
