Hi, They look fab. Can I ask where you got the gold holders from - are they candle holders by any chance?? Thinking of pinching the idea for xmas table instead of buying crackers.

Thanks

Thanks for that :j- they are pots from Ikea - actual small cups IYKWIM they have a handle at the back 79p each. I thought that at least they will get used again.

Can I ask, what is everyone putting as poems for gift tags for their post of gold? I'm thinkingg of doing a special one for my FIL as his Christmas present (with a special gold treat hidden among the coins and scratchcards)

Thanks!

This is the poem I attached to mine with a little picture of a pot of gold :

Pot of Gold

Here’s a little pot of gold,

A festive nibble too,

I hope that it will make,

All of your dreams come true,

Have a very Merry Christmas,

From Us to You x

I know - its a 2 minute drive from my workplace so i often pop in on a lunchtime - I hate the way its laid out though I always feel like a mouse in some kind of experiment in there! :rotfl:
Good luck with your pots today, I would be delighted to receive one I think they are brill, but... have you ever thought what would happen if you gave a winning ticket away - say someone won £100,000 !! I would be a bit gutted if I was honest :rotfl:

Yes that thought crossed my mind too lol. Might include a little contract where the fine print says that if there are any winnings then they have to split them 50/50 between the giver and receiver :rotfl:

I know what you mean it is quite poorly laid out! I love ikea though so it makes it worth it ... You think our ikea is bad you should go to the one in coventry, I went on opening day last year and it was shocking ... there is about 6 or 7 different floors and you have to walk around all of them to finally get back out :rotfl:

If I gave a winning ticket away then I would expect a nice substantial gift from them next year :rotfl:

Hello folks

I'm new on this board/thread this year. What wonderful ideas you've all been having!

I was thinking that I could do some of these myself.

My thought was to look for some pretty glass sundae dishes in the charity shops and give them a good wash with vinegar in the water, to make them really sparkle before filling them.

By the way, Kandipandi - loved the little poem .

Just a quick post to say i come across some cheap bowls suitable for pots of gold today in Morrisons.

Set of 4 glass dessert bowls, just the right size for this kind of thing - £1

Has anyone any idea what to put in my mums pot of gold? She got hypnotised a few years ago to stop her eating chocolate and now she is sick if even the slightest taste of cocoa passes her lips. :eek: It's a flamin' nuisance at this time of year, especially when trying to plan desserts for christmas day as everyone else wants something with chocolate in it. I've bought some werthers originals and the lotto card but haven't got anything else for her one.
