Miniature parachutes

[O'Reilly]

Is it possible to get such a thing? Maybe an action man accessory or something? I have just bought two vouchers for flying lessons for a Christmas present and I want to kid my friends that they have vouchers for wing walking and I want to wrap up a miniature parachute that they will open first as a sort of "guess what your Xmas present is all about?"

do you recall the little green soldier toys from years ago that had a parachute attached? I tried to find something like that (no doubt they are unsafe for children nowadays) but i came across these on ebay which looks similar

As a suggestion... my kids enjoy model rocketry. Most, even the smaller, over the counter models have "recovery parachutes" that are from 5 to 10 inches in diameter. The model rockets that accompany these are not expensive... less that $10 here in the U.S. Check your local model shop...

Thank you both - the model rocket shop is the answer and I've found a pair of parachutes for �2.99 - just the job!
