I need your help with names. You know I'm working on some super serious secret squirrel business which I'm hoping to launch very soon. I need a group of names to categorise sizes of things from mini through to extra large (including small, medium and large). It has to be a group of words that most people can relate to and understand. I'm looking for something that has international appeal too. 
Some words that you might like to keep in mind are tins, fabric, vintage, collage, paper, books, buttons and notions.
What's in it for you? Well, you get to be the first to learn about my secret squirrel business. Before anyone else has the chance to know about what I've been up to you'll have your very own crafty surprise in your possession.I'm giving away two prizes. One for the person that comes up with the names and I'll also do a random prize draw for everyone who enters their ideas. You have till this Sunday to try your luck.

This is just to say I am putting on my thinking cap for you... can't wait to see this secret squirrel business, love the look of those tins :)
Oooooh secret squirrel...what a fabulous idea for a giveaway!
I'll offer up these sizes:
* the babe
* lil sis
* big brother
* mama
* daddy
* and the granddaddy (which is, of course, the granddaddy monster of them all!)
oh!!! do I spy some buttons? in your squirrely business? I'm curious now...
OK, here's what I thought up with (keep in mind its verry late)
mini = teeny-tiny
small = itty bitty
medium = not so big
large = biggish
extra large = humungous
How exciting, I can't wait to hear more about your secret squirrel business (sounds even bigger than my secret santa elf business :P).
Sorry I haven't had breakfast yet, so my suggestions are all food related....
mini: titbits
small: tea and biscuits
medium: picnic
large: dinner party
x-large: family get-together

Love secret crafting - how about mini is thimble, medium is button, and large is..... um.... bigcat?! x
Hmmm, this is difficult...my (very ordinary) suggestion is this:
smallest
small

large

I really like Amy (badskirts) suggestion. It's cute!
i really like bec's idea - though over here we'd say 'tidbits' not 'titbits' . . .
if i think of another idea, i'll let you know!

mini: Tadpole,baby, bubba, seed,
Small: petite, chick, seedling,
Medium: middi, middling
