Pots of gold help!

jojo2004

I made pots of gold for two dear friends - I used the larger size Kellner glass jars from Wilkos - £2 each, and put in ferrero rocher, gold coins, werthers original, a lotto lucky dip tied up with gold ribbon, a little gold bell (which rings!) xmas dec, and a candle holder in gold with a candle in it that's christmassy smelling.

How do I upload a pic? I'd love to show everyone - so proud, and thank you all for the amazing ideas!

P.s. I used organza instead of cello in the end, think it looks pretty nice, was cheap in haberdashers.

I've had to make up 8 this evening for my son's teachers and helpers. I popped into a local florist for some cello but she didn't have anything gold so I opted for the blue snowflake one.
I bought the pots from Ikea £1.29 for 3 - I actually prefer these to the larger ones i made and posted previously.
My friend popped in tonight when I was making one and she loved them and ended up taking one home with her for her daughter's teacher!!!!

Wow Shelley they look fab and I love the Cello, it really works!!!!! Well done you

Hi guys

Going to do a pot of gold for my secret Santa at work... So far I have

Glass 42p or something in Asda
Chocolate coins BOGOF Tesco 99p
1 or 2 (not sure) Ringtons chocolate bar ( Tunnocks equivilant) nicked from OH

What I want to know is how many scratch cards to put in?

RustyFlange

Whats your price for the secret santa? If you are limited to £5 then you could probably put 2 in there without going over budget, if it is more then mix them maybe and have a couple of £1 scratch cards and maybe 1 x £2 scratchcard?
