OK here is the story.

I have purchased 3 Pandora charms for my girlfriend and a bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier Le female perfume which comes in a tall metal round tin. I have put the tin, wrapped up in the Pandora bag, one of those fancy type ones, and also wrapped the bag too.

The 3 Pandora charms come in a little box about the same size as those xmas tree decorations that resemble little presents about 1.5" square. My idea was to wrap the 3 charm boxes in the same or similar paper that the tree decorations are in and hang them from the tree. I am sure she wont notice them there as I will be placing them fairly close to the trunk of the tree so they wont be as noticeable. So the Pandora bag which now contains the Perfume is a little red herring. She will open it probably expecting a heavy amount of Pandora charms but will only contain the can with the perfume.:D

Now, here is the hard bit. I have got a nice xmas card for her and would like to also put another small card in the xmas card which will contain a clue to the whereabouts of the charms.

What I need off you guys/gals is a cryptic clue as I am no good at making one.

Bits of info that might help:
1.The xmas present decorations are wrapped in gold paper with gold ribbon.
2.The tree has Pine cones on the branches.
3.There are some blue coloured crackers placed on the tree.

If you need more info please ask.:)

Thanks in advance
 
on a serious note, you could make the card into a wee riddle have something like "your presents are draped in gold and ribbon"

edit: add the riddle bit, i suck at english managed to get a C 1 mark below the grade boundary in GCSE english :D:D

why not see if you can count to tree,

Au, covered and wrapped they are,
Just below a shinning star"

this was the first thing I thought of..

better than anything i can come up with :D its good however it still clearly points to the tree however is a bit more cryptic than mine and doesnt say exactly what the present look like
 
True. However i do like my 'Au' bit. 100% sure she wont know what that bit is a bout. Oooh how about making it an internet search think. eg.. I could use technical and scientific terms and she will have to check it out on internet to work out what they are

Au - gold, presents wrapped in gold
Spruce - Xmas tree ( she might know this)

What were wrapped years ago, wrapped anew this year.

As bad as that clue is could make it a year long search. Solves next years present :D
 
"Dont you worry, dont you fear, this is not your whole gift this year. The clue will lead to something good, normally its made from natural wood."

:D (assuming you have a fake tree)
