Anyone know where I can buy a schultute here in Dubai? I know you can make but I'm pretty disastrous with DIY, better if I buy one then decorate myself.

For those that are wondering what on earth a schultute (school cone) is, it's basically a really large cone decorated in stickers, pictures, anything...which is filled with school supplies, mini presents, treats that your child brings with them on their first day of primary school. I'm only half German but wanted to keep up this lovely tradition :)

Thanks

Nayls I know you said you couldn't make one, but here are some really simple instructions http://www.redtedart.com/2012/09/04/schultute-bastelanleitung/ Also have a look in somewhere like Daiso, or one of the craft shops, they may have big cardboard cones.
