    Hi

    Does anyone have a verse for a pot of gold for a golden wedding aniversary?

    Thanks in advance :D

    Somewhat belatedly, here's the pots I made for last Christmas!

    Version 1: actually a Birthday one:

    a%3E?action=view&current=P1000155-1.jpga%3EURL%5DIMG%5Dth_P1000155-1.jpgth_P1000155-1.jpgURL%5Da%3Eth_P1000155-1.jpg%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22Photobucket%22%20%3Ea%3EP1000155-1.jpg%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22Photobucket%22%3Eth_P1000155-1.jpgth_P1000155-1.jpgth_P1000155-1.jpgth_P1000155-1.jpgth_P1000165-1.jpg

    Pot is Ikea (we had already). Yellow envelope has Amazon voucher in it (from Lightspeed) so total cost = about £2?

    Version 2: Christmas one for colleagues

    Pot is a Marigold stock tub. I can't figure out a way to share the label I created but do PM if you'd like it. It has the gold bars round the sides.

    Version 3: Christmas one

    Version 4: Christmas one for non-gambling relative

    Yes sorry Julie, I couldn't get the photos to work - now seem to have cracked it (see above).

    Just bumping this up for those who maybe didn't do them last year.

    I did, so Im opting for pots of snowballs this year -some of them are empty tubes covered in felt and trying to resemble snowmen now waiting to be filled with marshmallows or bons bons.
    Empty mayonaisse jars (perfect with the white lid) are for bath bombs or marshmallows.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    I'm planning these for Christmas and was wondering, will a small pot fit inside those cello bags off ebay? I was going to get some to put homemade chocs/sweet in, would be good if I could stick my pots in as well, or would they have to be really small?

    What a fab idea!!! I am tempted to steal your idea if you don't mind?

    Rusty -feel free. I wanted to do something similar to the gold idea and could only think of snowmen and pots of snow.

    Hi,

    Last year i did the pots of gold and they were great! But i did spend too much on the pots, i was thinking this year i could do 'bags of gold' as i seen the square bottom ones for around £3 for 15. Has anyone done this or is it just a daft idea?!

    Thanks
