Hi,

just to let you know, i have just recieved a full refund through paypal from vanda for the cone bags i paid for last week that she did not send out,
I went to the paypal payment and clicked on dispute and filled in a few details and 20 mins later i got a full refund, also my cone bags arrived from the other seller on ebay- glendale today i only bought them yesterday and they are great.

I decided not to order the cello bags from the ebay seller due to poor feedback, so I spent a while yesterday making my own from scratch using the spotted cellophane that I already had. Am really please with the results, although I had a problem with one of them where the chocolate chips kept falling down the cone, hence the marshmellows being on one first and then the chocolate chips and not the other way around.

Am planning on putting them in mugs for the teachers at my sons schools - £1.99 for 3 porcelan ones in Morrisons, which have coffee/tea/chocolate design on them and I thought would be perfect.

Also has anyone found a good deal for Christmas Mugs. I need to buy about 12 of them so the cheaper the better (some are for teachers / adults - 4 are intended for children)

Cheers

They may not be the cheapest but I got some fab Christmas mugs in Primark. They were large ones @£1.50 each and boxed. 1 design was red with 2 snowmen either side of a santa and said " there no business like snow business " and the other design was white with a christmas tree and a santa and said " Happy Christmas "
I would say that they are probably 1.5 times the size of a standard mug and almost 2 times the size of most economy mugs.
I fillled mine with those thick fluffy socks and the mugs are big enough to need me to pad out the bottom to stop the socks slipping down inside. if and when my camera appears from hiding I'll try and post a pic.

Re the celo cones, i bought some online from a shop called daisy gifts. I ordered a 100 and i think they cost around £10 inc postage.

Otherwise does anyone know where i can get same size cello bags from (prefer to shop online if poss)

I got the Lakeland ones today, disposable icing bags (thanks OP for the idea), £5.49 for 50, cheaper than eBay if you don't have to pay postage. You can order online if you want, but £3.95 postage up to £49.99 then free. I've looked for a code but can't see one, sorry.

The bags are very strong, seems a waste to use them once for Snowman soup :rolleyes:
