    Thankyou :) Im debating on making a bigger version for my friend's bday gift, its on the 22nd december, and i always struggle with what to get her.
    Thinking of a couple of scratchcards.lottery tickets a box of terrys all gold and anything else i can find!

    Sounds Great. Who doesnt like chocolate and why not get the big 2.00 GOLD scratch card for it. :)

    Nutella pots sounds great! My kids don't eat it that quick so i had to buy my glasses from Mr T, about £1.50 for 4 i think, value range ;)

    Got the cellophane from ebay, It's £11 for 100 metres, but its also £7 postage (i live in luton as does the seller though so i collected).

    She does it in 5m and 20m rolls too.

    Here is the link for the 100m one.

  • Hi all of these look fab, im thinking of doing some for family members this year.. just one thing and please excuse my thickness!

    If one puts a scratchcard in, and its a winner be it £1 or any other amount how do they claim the money, does it have to be claimed at the shop you bought it at or can it be redeemed at any shop which sells the scratchcards? sorry ive never bought one before so i dont know these things lol

    Thanks x

    Sorry for posting again but would like some help with this

    Do you think 2x £1 scratchcards are better than 1 x £2 one? I've only seen one Christmas £1 scratchcard so far and really want to do my POG soon....anyone seen any others?

    I noticed esmer said the £2 card was gold but have only seen one red £1 card.
