Here are my finished pots of gold for my daughter's teachers, and they were really appreciated when I handed them over on Friday.

Wrapped:


I used plain white bowls from Wilkos' for 50p each, a box of Fererro Rocher £2.98, a packet of Werthers for 98p, 2 bags of choc coins 99p (BOGOF), 3 gold pinecone deccys 60p and 3 scratch cards £3. Oh, and some gold tinsel to line the bottoms....50p!!

Bargain pressies I think!!!

Can someone PM me a label please? I'm struggling with the limited IT at home (work laptop - has nothing good on it...my PC has given up the ghost!) and haven't been able to make my own.

Any help, much appreciated!

Hi
Thanx for the great idea. I made quite a few as stocking fillers for friends & family. I didnt use a pot, but a gold box with gold tissue paper & red ribbon instead. I'll try to post the pic when I figure out how for next years new pot of golders.

Just wondered whether anyone won anything. My mum's partner won a tenner, which was great news for him. He hadnt scratched of the amount and dragged my mum down to the local shop with him to see how much he had won (xmas day). He is delighted that he was the only one to win as he never wins anything. All good fun as long as he doesnt become a scratch card fiend.

Glad someone won something -teenage grandchildren had one in theirs but its in their birthday box -they'll be 16 tomorrow -so shan't know till then whether they're millionaires or not.................lol
I'll definitely be doing more next year............only did four this year so those that didn't have them will get them next christmas

I made 10 for place setting on christmas day.

From the ten. My eldest ds who is 8 won £20 :j we couldn't belive it.
My H won £2 my mum won £2 and I won £1 :T
How good is that from £10 spend lol

All the choc was left though so will have to come up with something else next year.

I have noticed that the scratch cards
with the smaller top prize ie £1000,£2000 etc
do seem to throw out a lot of smaller prizes
like £5,£10, £20 etc.I think especially as its
a gift that its nice if you can get a good sprinkling of
smaller wins,rather than either no one winning or
maybe a win for one person of say a £100+
on cards where the top prize is a huge one.

We have not opened ours yet keeping them for
after dinner on new years day.
