"GOLD" could it be :rotfl:I like the idea of mini Crunchies ....never thought of that last year ! Can you buy them in packs of just mini Crunchies ?

It may indeed be Gold McVities biscuits

Yes, you can buy the crunchies in mini packs just by themselves. I recently found some mini twix in Asda too

I got some mini crunchies BOGOF in Sainsburys today. Around £2.50 & i think you get around 15 in a bag.

I never buy scratch cards. Do supermarkets or corner shops tend to have a bigger selection? Or will everywhere have the christmas scratch card anyway?
Sorry if this is a stupid question BTW!

I had a bit of a struggle finding them last year (was my first year of doing the pots of gold). Eventually found them about 3 weeks before Christmas in Tesco (£2 ones) and the Co-op (£1 ones).

Wilkinsons at the moment have (intended for Halloween) small black plastic cauldrens for 80p (although have a tag on saing £1.28). To give you an idea of size they would probably just hold a pint of liquid. (Cant think of any other way to describe this!). I have bought one to make a pot of gold for my mum which will be filled with werthers (her fave) and topped with two pound coins and some lotter tickets. I think the cauldren will make it look more like a traditional 'crock of gold'. Probably not that festive but a good all year rounder! lol

Do you have a photo of the cauldren please so i can get an idea of the size

Thankyou. Looks as if it's too early to start looking yet then.

has anyone sold these before at craft fairs? Just wondering what you have charged - ball park figure? I know it depends what you've put in but an idea would be great....

I am so glad I opened this thread and have really enjoyed the pics and ideas for the pots of gold.I am going to try and make some for the Christmas dinner table and have started gathering a few bits in readiness.I have read the little verses to attach to the pots but can somebody please tell me how to make the liitle tags with pictures and verse on them ? I especially loved the little leprechaun ones but santas,snowmen anything Chrismassy would do.

I caved and ate two nets of chocolate coins last night. [Call it a certain time of month craving]. I'm annoyed at myself now :rotfl: Still four more to go, I refuse to be weak and eat them :rotfl: Will replace and get more soon Good luck everyone else
