For some of my easter gifts I am potting up some daffodil bulbs into recycled plastic pots now so that they will be ready about then, then I will wrap the pots in tissue paper and ribbon.
In lidl yesterday they had a little plant pot with 3 bulbs growing in it,there was little daffoldil and crocus i think and they were 49p oer pot.May even be cheaper than buying your own bulbs as you are getting 3 plants plus a plant pot.They looked easy enough to split apart aswell so 3 in 1.

Got my catalogue today too, oooh I could spend a fortune!
I've never ordered anything from them before, I always thought they had quite a high minimum order value ..... but today couldn't see that anywhere.

Make Stained Glass Eggs

With cheap colored nail polish, ( £ shop stuff is fine ! )

the colors overlap and layer to create a beautiful stained glass effect.

You will need

• Hard Boiled Eggs
• Nail Polish and a Bowl ( Disposable?)

Half fIll with water.
Put one drop of nail polish into the bowl. It will disperse over the top of the water.
Dip egg in.
Let it dry.
Drop another color of polish into the water, and change the water often for the best results.
Dip egg in.
Repeat until you're happy with the pattern
