Pots of gold help!

MissBailey

Ooh Stardrop, I LOOOOOVE Gold bars! I'd forgotten about their existence til I saw your post! I definitely think I'll use them in mine, one for the pot, one for me, one for the pot, one for me, mmmmmmmmm!

I'm all excited now but I only just got BACK from asda!

It wont bulk out your pot, but i added gold stars, christmas trees and reindeer shaped table confetti to my pots. I got them from the local card factory shop for 0.99p each and i've done 10 pots and have loads left.

I will wrap them in cellophane, but I have ran out at the minute, have to put some finishing touches to them still aswell Thought about adding a lottery ticket to each one but now I don't think I will. I might even have some bags that I can use instead of cello then I just need to try and find some gold curling ribbon

This is a great idea! I love this forum as everyone has so many different ideas for one thing

I used a gold box from Clintons, you know the small gift boxes

Instore (Poundstretcher) are doing nets of chocolate gold coins BOGOF 99p. Didn't notice this advertised on the shelf when I bought them but just looked at my receipt, 2 for 99p. Result!!!! :xmassign:

Excuse me butting in, why don't you get a tin of gold spray paint [they do matt and shiny], then you can pick the right shape and size of pot [and use something dead cheap]to suit your stuff.

I'm doing a variation on the theme!! I've used clean empty pots from the new Activia yogurts (they look like ali baba pots iyswim!)

I've filled them with gold coins and will add the scratchcard and werthers or similar and then wrap with gold ribbon. I'm using them as place settings for christmas lunch so each one of us will get one - including me!! my kids are over the moon that they get included and it's a surprise for my mum as she's having us all round to hers!
