most impressive, that yummy gin reminds me of a summer day with lots of ice, lime and tonic….the houses are adorable and the blue is perfect with the snow and ice feel this time of year…

Thanks everyone!

Laura C, I only know one place for sure; the Toronto Star (newspaper), and two went accross Canada – one to Calgary and one to British Columbia somewhere. Other than that I think Bombay gave them to major venues around Toronto which serve their gin.

Yes, I figured out how big the house would have to be to fit the ingredients and planned it around that.

My husband had the bright idea of nailing small square dowels to the board, just on the inside of each wall, so that in case the apple juice, for example, rolled a bit during transportation, it would hi the dowel, not the gingerbread wall.

WOW! Those are awesome! I’m a fan of the Bombay Sapphire gin and that has to be the cutest thing I’ve EVER seen. Who did they give the houses to and did you have to build the houses around the drink ingredients??
