These are just one of those things which don't have any real purpose but which are just impossibly cute. I mean who doesn't need a 2cm ceramic marshmallow with a smiley face? My middle son pinched one out of the box as a "pet" before I'd even finished unpacking them! Why combine with a ceramic "hot choc" tag and a tasty Cornish hot chocolate spoon for the ultimate hot chocolate gift?
Please note: these are a decorative item and not a toy. They should not be given to young children and are strictly for display only. Which includes making them a little house if you're keeping one as a pet...
