Hey, loving these other ideas! )

i had a thought about the pop corn holder - Robert Dyas do bowls/plates etc with pictures of real food etc - smarties, fried eggs......am sure seen one with pop corn in it. have looked online and they dont have as much as they do in the shops. they have a jelly bean chopping board on there (which i have and its great!) so hopefully they will have something that will be of use in there.

just looked on Ebay - this is the sort of thing i was meaning - they dont have a pop corn one on this shop - but least you know what could be looking out for...

Was looking for snowman stirrers for my soup as I really like this idea, but found this instead - which is something else that my ds and dd will love making http://www.lhj.com/recipes/holidays/christmas/easy-holiday-treats/?page=2

I was just gonna get a cardboard box, cover it in red paper and add white strips of card to the outside to make it look like one of the red & white popcorn boxes.


Might even try doing the same thing with a 69p plastic bin, to make it look like a popcorn bucket.

I couldnt justify spending £10 on a bowl when the contents probably only cost £20.


Am i just being cheap???

Not at all, that is a lot to pay! I've seen exactly the same bowls in shops for a pound or two though, they were shops with quirky/jokey type things in, like rubber ducks and those 'grow your own boyfriend' and other novelties in.
