Cheap favor boxes

Hiya,

Does anyone know where to get cheap black favor boxes? Ive been looking online and some can be quite expensive! The cheapest Ive found so far is 40p per box but would like to be cheeky and see if theres anything cheaper out there - Im looking maybe about 200-300 boxes.

Thanks in advance

    Hi chardonnay,

    thanks very much for the link, Ive had a look and unfortunately we dont have a store over here (but remember my local one when I lived in England for 6 months!)

    I noticed they have a phone number so going to see if they could help at all - if not Im sure I will find someone who could get them in england for me lol. 10 per bag is really great value though so thank you very much

    hiya, if you can't get someone to help then pm me. i could check my local stores if they still have them and you could pay me by paypal. although we may have to recruit other mser's to help as you'll need 20 - 30 packs :eek:so might have to get them from shops all over the place:rotfl:

    Hi guys, thanks for the response.

    I did take a look at ebay earlier and the cheapest I had found within the style we were looking worked out at 26p per box, but having a look at the above link i LOVE the boxes there (and works out cheaper so bonus) Im looking to put some chocolates in them so now to find some chocolates and mini perfumes lol!!

    seen thorntons but the cheapest is £1.50 and you only get 1 chocolate - as these are being used as a giveaway (wedding show) I was hoping to get more for my money - works out if I make them myself I can make them for max 81p per box and thats with 4 chocs instead of one :D Thorntons would have been lovely though and wouldnt have took so much time, but I dont mind putting the time in if I can save as much cash as possible lol

    Hi everyone.

    Went out shopping today at my local outlet centre - Paper Mill shop had 20 favour boxes for £4.99 but they were buy one pack get one free - so managed to get 360 boxes for £60! (that included decoration)

    Then tried Thorntons for the chocs and they seemed to have some good offers on their clearance shelves, and the staff were really helpful (everything we point out they opened the box and offered us to try one as well as counting how many were there to get us the best deal, unfortunately the sell didnt go through though cos they were 20 packets short and no other branch had them!

    They did point us to a local clearance sweet shop though were we were able to get lovely foiled sweets for £70 and that was for 1680 sweets!

    really pleased - thanks everyone for your help :D
