Add them to wrapped presents - I poke them under the curling ribbon.

hang them on the tree, or when you wrap your presents tie one on with ribbon.

Ours are on the tree, lots of different sizes and flavours. Looks very cute. Have also stuck them on presents wrapped in brown paper with a wide cream ribbon and a skinny red one on the top.

We put them in stockings. Also, the children have them in hot chocolate, they're crushed and melted. There's lots of recipes for this around.

Does anyone know where you can buy non minty ones? I hate mint, really hate it, but they look so pretty.

Kingdom of Sweets (we found it at Lakeside, new shop) does alot of American sweets.
I bought fruit flavoured candy canes there (£2 a box)

Last years are still lying on the table in the conservatory. Melting when the sun comes out.

Thank you all, not sure if I will be able to get to any of those stores this side of Christmas but will bear them in mind for next year. Postage a bit prohibitive on the Jelly Belly ones but they look yummy!
