    I used a container from poundland, but im going to change to smaller tubs from tesco. I got chocs from Aldi, they are long and thin and have a goldish wrapper, there are choc coins, ES mints and some choc eclaires, a scratch card in the adult ones and a chocolate wish in the kids. Not entirely happy with the outcome, and how long it actually took me to make lol

    I'd do a selection and make sure you charge the extra pound for the ones with the lottery ticket in. ;)

    Regarding Pots of Gold, I got Clear Glass T-Light holders in Ikea 5 x packs of 4 for 89p each as recommended by someone on another thread, sorry cannot remember which one they look a lot more full and lovely when all wrapped up in Gold with or without a scratchcard, HTH. x
