    Alright, own up - who had the last yellow bowls from Ikea Glasgow? :naughty::p

    Agree with Louise about hobbycraft - I spent £30 on ribbon today :eek::o

    This is my first go, and I'll have to take it apart, cos I forgot to put the scratchcard in it :doh:

    I have a wispa gold, 2 twix, ferrero rocher, gold coins and the big quality street caramel thing. Doing them for littlie to give grandparents and aunt/uncle :)

    Might also put some gold tissue in to hide it a bit - what do you think? And a tag! Oh goodness, I've got lots to do! :rotfl:

    I think it looks FANTASTIC - really professional!! I especially love the ribbons you have done (Hobbycraft was worth the visit then lol):T

    Did you really get all those goodies into that little holder??:j

    I'm going to use some gold shredded paper at the bottom of mine, just to give the sweets some stability.

    They aren't expensive. I got mine on ebay last year for around £20 inc a box of 150 pouches and it has been well worth the money, I have used it loads!!

    Look out for offers, WHSmith sometimes reduces their basic laminator.
