Within the multi-award-winning Gift in a Tin range will be three fantastic new ideas. The first is an addition to the popular metal construction kit range: Fighter Plane! There are high hopes for this tin, as others such as Tractor and Camper Van have been so successful. The second is Be a Superhero. This is a fun dress-up set that lets girls and boys become real superheroes! It includes a cape, mask, cuffs, identity card and stickers. One for the baking (and eating) lovers is Biscuit Baking Fun. With five stainless steel sea creature cutters, a recipe card, food bags, starfish stickers and pen, little ones can make their own sea friend biscuits to pack up in the food bags and give as gifts to family and friends. On to something completely new, the Gift in a Tin range traditionally consists of children’s gifts, so Apples to Pears has been thinking that surely adults deserve a Gift in a Tin too? So the company has created Gifts for Grown-Ups, a collection of great gift ideas for adults. The initial collection will be launched in September 2019 and consists of seven products, with SRP’s between £5.99 and £12.99. 
