Hi bobbles, welcome to MSE. Good luck with your pots. I have all the stuff except the pots, I am still yet to find any I am happy with, think I need to stop being such a fanny and just get anything.lol.

is there anything that you are specifically looking for?

I got fed up looking for pots, they were either too big, too small, too expensive etc. So I bought a pack of 20 plastic pint glasses in the 99p shop and a can of their gold spray and they've come out really well. I did put 3 thin coats on them. So a cheap option if anyone is still looking for pots.

Well I really wanted nice gold pots, just the right size and shape, I was being too fussy I know. Yesterday I found three white ceramic bowls, like the ones you use in a chinese restaurant from Home Bargains, 99p for the three so I bought two packs of those as time is getting on and I was desperate,they are a good size but not very deep so my wispas and toblerones are going to take some keeping in but I will manage somehow. Wilkinsons had some lovely large goldy ramekins for £1.50 each but as I wanted six I didn't want to pay that much. Also got some of that gold lambretta(? Is that the name) stuff In the pound shop two packs for a quid and some fab little glass christmas ornamenty things with a little peg to hold one card. They had santa,snowmen and little bambi ones next to a cute Christmas tree,they are quite small, about two nches high. I got bambi cos they are a gold colour, also some gold christmassy earrings for the girls pots. Just need to find some gold £1 or £2 scratchcards and get the wrapping and I can get them all done.

Haha, lambretta is a scooter, I knew it didn't sound right.

I was in Tescos today and I picked up a box of Cadbury Wishes reduced to £1.99. In Home Bargains last week I got 4 of the bigger ones for a £1.

HTH FiFi :rudolf:

I can't find any suitable bowls, please does anybody have any ideas? They are for teachers presents so need to be as cheap as possible and a reasonable size to get a few bits in.

Also, does anyone had a poem template to attach to them please.
