One reviewer said, "I bought these cutters to make gingerbread cookies for Christmas (classics!) and they worked perfectly.

Definitely recommend, they’re good value for money!" With so much choice we love that you can make biscuits for everyone this Christmas.

These are perfect for making Christmas cookies with the kids. They are easy to use and the stamps can be pressed straight into the cookie dough, or onto fondant icing. One reviewer said, "really happy with these cutters, good quality for a good price. Exactly as described. Perfect for Xmas and bite size biscuits for children, and adults of course." We love that you could even use them during craft activities using salt dough. Each Christmas cookie cutter comes in 2 parts, one to cut the outline shape and one for the pressed pattern impression.

Animal obsessed? We love this polar bear cutter from Lakeland. One reviewer commented, "I had made an igloo out of marshmallows for my son, and that's when I ordered these animals, I cut out cookies with the animals and draped them all around, and decorated with chocolate." Even better, we love that once baked, you can name your polar bears and decorate them all with their own individual style. They will make perfect gifts, or treats for all the family.

If you don't fancy cluttering your kitchen cupboards with 20 Christmas cookie cutters, this five piece set is ideal. One reviewer noted, "these are a good size and look like they will last.

Featuring a snowflake, Christmas tree, reindeer, gingerbread man and snowman, there are still plenty of different designs for your kids to bake and decorate.

We love the idea of making edible cookie baubles, you can even tie some ribbon through them and hang them on the tree. However one reviewer chose to use them on her Christmas cake, saying, "used them on my Christmas cake design. Quality was good enough for the job given the price and I was pleased with the results. Would recommend." These cookie cutters come in a range of sizes too which is really handy, plus the smaller ones really will make cute (edible) Christmas tree decorations.

Gingerbread houses are always popular at Christmas and these cookie cutters are perfect for creating cute mini versions. However, while one reviewer loved them, they did comment, "love these cutters but I think they need to come in a box rather than just a bag so you can store them easier! Plus be great if they came with instructions and or a recipe too! However they are ok once you figure out how to use them!" We think these are really cute for bit-size gingerbread houses. You could even create an entire gingerbread village!
