Bunbun they do similar plastic pots with green lids in Julian Graves (health food shop?) in a range of sizes aswell

Soblivion you are soooo clever, that looks fantastic and is a perfect present ... I would love it. OH asked me to write a list of 20 things I would like for christmas and said I might get some or I might get none but I added 1 x tub of ben and jerrys to the list as I love ice cream and could happily sit and eat a whole pot! ...

Ben and jerrys is half price at sainsburys at the min

Thanks Rusty, it's for my son, he's a ice cream fanatic too. I'm just going to get some tubs of ice cream and keep them in the freezer at the ready.
I just wanted to say, bottom pot left hand side is chopped nuts in case anyone wondered, I just looked at the pic and thought it kind of looks like something you'd take fishing. LOL

thanks rusty. I did think about looking in Julian Graves next time I am in town. I have bought a selection of chilli nuts, seeds,etc in packets for OH and my first thought was to put them in a box with several compartments. however...they have sold out in woolies and not sure where else sells them in Durham. so my next thought was little jars. will look in Durham next week.

bunbun - I spotted a compartmented box in my local pound shop in the tools section (just a little shop not Poundland tho!) if that's of any help?? Thought could get for my dad and put bits in - although he has millions of the things being the DIY buff he is!! Bet he hasn't got one for choc and latte LOL:rotfl:

Hi Asda - do little plastic tubs for about 24p.... if that helps

Lovely hampers everyone! Sorry I've been away a lot recently and last night I went to bed at 6pm I was that tired! Not caught up on all your activities yet.

Hiya - wonder if you ladies can help me - for my nephews (age 5 and 3) I am doing pirate themed hampers and would really like to use something that looks like pirates treasure chests as their hamper(s) - I've looked on ebay but nothing much doing and the ones that are on there seem to be mainly small (just for putting party favours in!) - can anyone advise if they've seen anything suitable? thanks in advance...

Am sure in the Home Bargains thread some one mentioned a decorate your own pirate chests ?no idea bout the size though sorry
