How many packs are you wanting? If you can't find any at Poundland, and you don't want say 20 packs, I can see if I can pick some up next week for you?

Thank you so much for your lovely offer. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a couple of weeks and if no luck then I might take you up on your really kind offer and PM you if that is OK.
If you got any of these boxes you must show us photos of what you made .

Thank you

Already follow your blog Helen, love the newspaper card & even made a few myself so a great source of ispiration.

Re the bag toppers: you list using the nestabilities label set 4 however looking online they seem much more ornate & fancy. Are you maybe using either the set 1 quite square or the set 8 more oblong? We plan to make them for school & I want to get the right set as school is paying.
If they def are set 4 I apologies in advance.
Thanks

I beg your pardon ..... I am so sorry ...... you are right ..... it's not set 4 ..... but now I am confused which set it is and I would hate for you to buy the wrong one ..... can I get back to you .....?

I have sat and measured ..... and I am pretty sure it's Nestabilities set 8... I've used

No worries, I was a bit nervous about offering, I know we're complete strangers and all but I'm quite normal - honest :rotfl:

I did get a few boxes, but I'm unbelievably uncrafty (is that even a word?!) so I'm just gonna either wrap and give the boxes as they are or put the individual chocs in cello bags with some pretty ribbon - that will do teacher gifts and not so close friends This thought would never have occurred to me without this board either so thank you everyone who has posted about these Dairy Milks!

Good luck with the hunt! The offer's still there should you need it


PS while I'm here, flyingpig, you are amazing! Me and my daughter have been oohing and aahing at your creations - we're both slightly jealous and both wish I was slightly more creative!

Helen it's fine. If you open it out is it more sqaure as that is set 1, more oblong is set 8.
I too would hate for them to buy the wrong set hence my query, thanks for being understanding & as always so helpful.

Brilliant thankyou for your teacher gift idea,i make lots of different things myself but putting them in cello bags sounds great along with the rest of the gifts that Helen has shared

You're more than welcome and I'm now grinning like an idiot so thank you ... I'm always so worried about posting and waiting for a negative reaction - I deliberately avoid internet forums because of all the aggravation that goes on - but everyone is so nice here. Anyway, enough of my rambling, it's all off topic anywhoo, back to lurking for me Night all xxxx
