Hi - been lurking around grabbing all your ideas for the last few weeks - been out shopping today and found some bargains that I thought I would share with you all.

Asda have £1 easter eggs - think they are normally £2 each they are a decent size - max 6 per customer.

Home Bargains have the best little tin easter buckets 2 for £1 - a pack of 6 jelly bunny lollies for 49p and a pack of 8 foiled shapped rabbits for 29p.

Another local shop called Cresta! has walkers mini eggs for £1 a big bag - I think someone mentioned these in an earlier post - if you need me to get some and send on just let me know.

I have been to Hobbycraft and have my cellophane and have some tissue paper and ribbon left from xmas - so the children I have the pleasure of looking after will be getting a bucket full of stuff this easter!!:cool:

Hope this helps some of you - would love to be crafty but dont have a crafty bone in my body but love looking at all your stuff.

Take care everyone.:T

I think it was rosekitten who was after the mini eggs but I could be wrong?

Sounds like you've been gathering a fab selection of stuff. Can I ask you how big the buckets from Home Bargains are? Thank you

I didn't think you were much older than me :rotfl:

Thought you might like to see my Easter Lambs. I must have used different needles on one of them because it came out smaller - baby lamb- ahhhh.
