    Someone posted a link to Hobbycraft for gold buckets. When I visited the site I found these buckets and I wanted to order them, http://direct.hobbycraft.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=320631 but every time I try to order them it says they are availble and when I add them to the basket they are supposed to be in it. However when I look at the contents of the basket the gold buckets are not there.

    Can anyone tell me where I could get them?
    I just had a go it let me put some in my basket but when i go take a look in red writing near the top it says there running low and in stock there are 0

    Xmas Saver!
    wonder if anyone can help. I am wanting to do the following for a school fayre: Reindeer poop, magic reindeer food and jars of nothing. However I dont really know what to charge. Please could anyone tell me what they have sold these items for in the past just to give me a rough idea, I was thinking £1 each but I dont want to overprice them. Thank you

    I would maybe consider doing small rendindeer food etc for 50p, our xmas fayre last year our rendineer food was 25p yet we still had people moaning that was too expensive!! to me 50p is a fair price as kids can buy one and still have change for somewhere else.

    I emailed Hobbycraft and they emailed me the telephone number of their Gloucester store which posts items to shoppers. I telephoned the number and spoke to Henry and he said that the 3" gold buckets I wanted were not available but 4" ones were. He stated the 4" ones were 79p each and measured 8cm. I said 8cm was closer to 3" rather than 4" but he was sure they were 4" so maybe he is correct because the 3" were advertised as 62p each. He had fifteen in stock and had to contact another store, Newport, and they are sending him the other three I require tomorrow. He said he would telephone me tomorrow to arrange p&p and payment. :j

    Thank you for the offer but if he doesn't get back to me I still might need you! THANKS! :A

    All this to make the pots of gold I seen on here! I hope those who receive them appreciate them!
  • Glad you got it sorted what a carry on though you would think as they had them is store they would have them to order online, still at least they are going to get them for you.
