I love those magnets She Grinch! I'll have to have a go if I can find any marbles like those, if anyone spies some flat bottomed glass pebbles please let me know!

Paint the pots with glass paint and give/use as:-
tealight holders,
coin catchers (for a man!),
desk tidies for paperclips etc,
tea bag holders (in a tea hamper) for used teabags
simply put 4 in a box with a small recipe book for desserts,
put in a box with some tealights and glass paints/ glass nuggets etc as a craft kit for some one

Thanks She Grinch,

Knew you'd have some great ideas

Donna73......... DON'T DO IT! I'd never forgive myself if I caused a lapse in all your hard work

shegrinch -brilliant ideas as ever.............I do similar with birthday cards -so easy to forget someone. I try and do them in advance during the winter (days like today) and I've got a box I put them in and stick a small post it note on the with the date.

Love the marble magnet idea............think it just might be a bit too fiddly for my fingers though:rotfl:

Here is a really simple idea for fridge magnets but they are small enough to be used on a magnetic notice board http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/marblemagnets/

Thanks for this she grinch, I have some glass pebbles here, just need to find the little magnets in my craft shop. I really like the christmas set.

crazychatter I got mine from Morrisons, at the time they were 3 bags for £5, blue, clear and green.
On ebay they are glass nuggets.

crazychatter, My nephew's had an accident with a huge drum, he's okay now but I wasn't thinking straight at the time. What I should have said syraight away was if you need some, give me a shout and I'll send you some. Sorry:o
