I purchased the gingerbread house kit for my daughter and I to put together this Christmas. We were genuinely excited – the photo of the finished house looked beautiful.
When we opened the box, though, we were really disappointed. There were nowhere near as many decorative items as shown in the picture. Only one colour of beads, very limited icing, and the instructions were pretty light-touch – basically “look online for inspiration.” Looking online doesn’t magically give you multicoloured sweets.
The end result was a bit of a flop, and for the amount of fiddling involved and the price we paid, it just wasn’t that fun. The tin isn’t particularly reusable either – who really wants a tin that says “DIY Gingerbread House” on it year-round?
For nearly £40, I’d honestly say buy the ingredients yourself and have a giggle doing it from scratch instead.
I did email them to give feedback (hoping they might try to make it right), but was told there’s a photo showing exactly what’s included – so essentially, more fool me.
So make sure you’re happy with the actual contents listed, not just the styled photos of the finished result.
