just had a thought , in hobbycraft they've got gold bags ( well they've got gold swirls on ) I think they're to put wine in but they're not as tall as wine bottles , at the moment they're buy one get one free, I was thinking of making bags of gold to take to my in laws for christmas day
they might be ideal ??

looked today and the bags are too big , but found some lovely gold organza bags 10 for £5.49 but I get my discount as I work there , am going to do bags of gold instead of pots to put on the table on christmas day instead of crackers

My local Tesco Extra in Rutherglen has their 'Discount brand" chocolate reduced. Its in a cardboard pack but has 5 smaller bars inside and the ones with caramel pieces have gold wrapping. The milk choc and milk choc with caramel pieces were reduced to 49p per pack, so pretty good for your Pots of Gold!!

Just a thought for others who are doing pots of gold this year, i am and am so excited about doing them that i was constantly thinking about gold things to go in there and my brainwave was..............................................the .......wispa GOLD!!!:j:j:j:j, problem being, to buy them and not eat them but if you have the willpower i think they would look amazing in the middle with the new shiny gold wrapper they do now:D

I have 2, possibly 3 of these to make for BIL and 1 x SIL. I am hoping to make a start in the next 2 weeks so I can scribble them off the pressy list!!

I need to read back and find the poem that goes with them!

I enjoyed making these last year, I've hope to make atleast 4 for friends

I've completed 3 of these for the childrens teachers, I was in my local Nisa last night looking at the scratchcards and they had one thats actually called 'Pot of Gold' although they were £2 each

Ok, now i am getting scarily excited about making these for xmas and i still have to wait at least 2 and a half months before i can start but i have just added to my collection for them, a box of 30 forrero rochet that are on offer for £4.00 in lidl so if you are planning on putting these in and are making a few it works out really cheap as tescos sell a box of 24 for £5.31, so if you have a lidl near you be sure to have a peek

Do scratchcards have an expiry date on them? The pot of gold ones sound brilliant but I wouldn't want people to win something at Christmas and not be able to claim the prize because the date has ran out. Not a chance of Wispa Golds lasting more than 5 minutes in our house!
