Ok I have all ready for my pots as follows; werthers, gold pennies, mcvities gold bar, twix, ferrero rocher and a scrathc card. Then my mum and gran have a book of 12 first class stamps, my dad and hubby have a miniature bottle of whisky, (thanks to freebies thread),DD and DS have a gold bath bar from Lush and have yet to do mine. All will be wrapped in gold cello with gold ribbon.

I found some small Yankee candles that were almost gold in colour to put in mine.

Really Blimey It'll have to be the Christmas ones then

I like the yankee candle idea too, just waiting for the Christmas ones to come out in our b&q (only local place we can get them here). Apparently it's still the pumpkin ones out - want to smell the christmas ones and buy them all choose now!!! :rotfl:

My gold ribbon arrived today so I had better print out some poems and get them all finished. Labelled lots of chutney and marmalade yesterday too so feeling a bit more done. My christmas pudding vodka is brewing away too - guess I had better taste it in the interests of research?

Poundland have sets of 2 pens in gold really nice little hand bag style jewelly ones! Might make a nice addition to pots of gold

I'm going to make some pots this year (thanks all for your great ideas). Whilst I think putting scented candles in is a fab idea I would be concerned that they would make the chocolates taste scenty. Has anyone used them in the past and can you tell me if it affected the taste of the chocolate. Thanks.

Hi I'm going to make some pots this year as so inspired by this thread. However im thinking about making pots of gold for couples as we have a family Xmas night out! So I'm thinking about putting in gold bangles/ earrings for the girls but not sure what to put in for the men other than whiskey. But had thought about goldshlager if I could get it as my OH doesn't like whiskey. So any suggestions would be great. Plus all the usual old bits too.

I am also making pots instead of crackers so would love some ideas for pots for kids as have 5 children (4 boys and 1 girl) . Also for the adults thinking of doing pots of Xmas so any ideas please let me know

Thanks for all the tips so far keep them coming xx

I put them in mine last year and there were no complaints.:)
