Favour boxes job lot

Hi, there is a job lot of favor boxes, various patterns on ebay that work out at 9p each - £40 plus £11.99 p&P for 56 packs of 10, various designs, would anyone be interested in this?
A bit like the flip flop thread, or can anyone find any cheaper than 9p? I only need a few for extra cake pieces and maybe favours

    csh they're not the same ones as in poundland, you can tell as the packaging is different.

    BUUUUUUUUUUUUMMPP!!!

    I have now bought them. I was also very MSE and asked for a discount :D
    The seller has knocked £5 off which puts the packs at 84p each, three cheers for the seller :T:T:T

    I'm going to subscribe to the thread if anyone else wants any. (If not I'll ebay/carboot the rest)

    I'll let you ladies know once the boxes arrive

    the length at the shortest part (down the centre) is 6.5cm the width is the same all the way across which is 6.5cm. The flap at the widest part is 2cm. I don't want to make the box up as it's quite thick cardboard, I don't think I'll get it back down again, so it's a bit of a rough guide but should give you something to go on.
    I think the bride and groom or the square boxes might be a bit bigger but would depend on what you wanted and if it went with everything else, but let me know if you want me to measure them for you too
