    The chocolate wishes have little sayings on them. They are rather like a fortune cookie but there's only 20 sayings I think. Usual price for these is 59p, so to get them 2 for £1 is great.

    I was going to make these to sell at a school Christmas fair, but rather than a pot, it will be a sack of gold, as I got 100 gold organza bags form ebay for under £5. Could anyone let me have a suitable poem. Also to make the label is it a case of using google to get a suitable picture?
    Last question for some IT genius - I have a nice round punch, and hoped to be able to use that for the labels - is there any way to curve the type when printing? (Hope that makes sense!)

    If you use MS Word you can use Word Art and then when you have the wording and style, you can then change the shape and make it wrap. I am looking at MS 2007 but it falls under the heading of Format in earlier versions I think.
    Hope this helps

    On Wednesday night I was at Tescos and I bought three of the 400g bags of chocolate coins at £3 each to be used in the "Pots of gold". I also bought a box of sixteen Ferro Rocher at the Co-op for less than £2. I was looking for the gold Santas, as far as I remember Lindt made them last year, but I cannot find them this year, anyone know if they are available? Has Quality Street stopped doing the gold tin of sweets with all the toffees or does anyone know where you can get them?

    Does anyone have the answers?

    I can't remember ever seeing gold santas, so can't help there I'm afraid.

    I just had a quick look on mysupermarket for the quality streets and they're not on there yet, so might not be out till closer to Christmas. I did find these which are gold and very :money: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/sainsburys-price-comparison/Sweets/Sainsburys_Dairy_Toffee_227g.html

    Wow, they look awesome. Not stingy at all. I'd love to get one of those.
