Pot o gold contents

Hi All,

I'm going for a completely homemade xmas this year and am doing pots of gold for a couple of friends but i'm stumped as what to put in them. Have got gold coins and a scratch card but other than that i'm clueless, any ideas?!
Thanks all

    If you type in Pot of Gold in the search box at the top I think there's a whole thread about it. Loads of people did variations of it last year -that might help.
    Sorry, can't do links otherwise I'd put it here for you.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Last year I used gold paper cups with gold tissue paper, in them I put a few gold coins, ferro roche, a mini twix and a gold mini cracker. I wrapped them up with cellophane and tied a lable saying pot of gold. I think I sold them for £1.50 each.

    Need to get making more for this year. Tesco has worthers on offer BOGOF.
  • Hi folks ...

    Well this year, on account of you lot (see who's getting the blame!! ha ha!), I have made a Father's Day Hamper, Mother's Day Hamper, two hampers for kids and one to raffle for charity ...

    So now I am dipping my toes into the Christmas stuff! I have already made my Christmas Notebook, complete with dividers, everyone's names etc ... might not be as good as everyone elses, but am doing my best!!

    Anyway, I am going to make my Mum and Dad a pot of gold this year ...I think it is an absolutely brilliant idea!! ... have been looking round town today and just wanted to let you all know that in Morrisons they have bags of Werther's Originals at half price. The date on them in my store was 04/2010 so will definitely do for Christmas, so I have been and gone and bought some ... *LOL*

    I'll leave the scratch cards till nearer the time, then they will be Christmassy ones, and of course, the Lottery ticket too ... going to look for some other gold things that I can buy now to put away!!

    Darn it .. I forgot to look at the dates on the ferrero rocher choccies .. although it might have been tempting fate to expect em not to get eaten before Chrissy!!

    Thank you for all your wonderful ideas and for inspiring me to get cracking and make my own pressies and hampers ... it's a lot of work but people really appreciate the thoughts that go into them!!

    Oh yeah .. and lemme be the first to wish y'all a Happy Christmas 2009!!! xxx
  • Last year I put in mine...

    Gold chocolate coins

    Werthers orginals

    Twilight mint chocs (with the green wrapper removed, leaving just the gold wrapper)

    I also bulked the pot out with some gold tinsel.
