Pots of gold help!

I bought 7 of the £2 Christmas scratch cards and only 2 won £2. then my Dad threw them away when he was clearing the table so we had to search through the bin!

neither me nor my sis won on the scratch cards, we did both say if we did we would go halves. but i will make more for nnext year.

thanks for that Mary43 I am going to do
an Easter version of this for the grown ups

Also if anyone here is ever in the 99p shop
and spots the bags of Walkers mini eggs
can you let me know on here.I bought a bag
there last year,just like the Cadburys ones
but smaller in size.Loads in a bag and they
tasted much nicer than the Cadburys ones
and looked better too.I never realised when
I bought them that the size they were selling
is usually £5.99 a bag

Just wanted to say thankyou to everyone on here for this brilliant gift idea:beer: Gave one to my mam and dad and my mam burst into tears when she saw it! She said it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever had. Also gave one each to my sons who couldn't wait to rip off the cellophane to get to the scratch cards:rotfl:

Two pots of golds that I did for my neighbours teenage sons:



Not sure cost of chocolate used, as I had already made other ones, used a plastic pint glass that I already had as the 'pot', and instead of adding a scratch card, put a £10 HMV voucher in each pot of gold.

Everyone who was given one loved them and there were a few winning scratchcards, so will definitely be doing this again next year.

Pot of Gold

Here’s a pot of gold
A festive nibble too
We hope that it will make
All your dreams come true
Have a Merry Christmas
From us to you

Hi, Thank you to all for all your great ideas.
This is the verse I used, I made four but only saw two being opened and those two I had to get them to drag it back out of there christmas bag and explain what it was about, so I was a bit deflated. So thanks to all the poets but for future pots of gold I am going to have to come up with something less cryptic. The other 2 were for DH friends and I am going to get him to find out whether they checked if they are millionaires as they had a lotto and scratch card in them.
I used large tumblers from Morrisons which were about £1.75 for 4 and the eclairs from Aldi were very cheap.
Thanks again to all the creative geniuses. FiFi

OH saw some bags of coins yesterday at the newsagent for 50p - I wasn't sure how long they'd keep and he didn't check the sell by date.
I could do pots of gold at easter for couple of people who didn't have them at christmas
