Thanks to EmmaMumof2 for the heads up on ES mints - i'll be going out to Tescos to get some later.

Love the christmas pud decoration Cotton Wool Katie it is fab.

Your pot of gold is fab too Mummyslittle boy.


These are the pots of gold I made last year for the teachers at my kids school, and as well as sweets I added a £1.00 scratch card. They were made out of tea light holders from Ikea which were about 69p for 4. The teachers loved them. An I will be doing a few more this year for people.

Hollie, this one would be fine. Woodware is a good make, I would just advise you not to use thickish card in any of the punches like this. I have broken a few of the smaller size punches by trying to punch linen card, which is a bit thicker than normal card - I think it is about 270 gsm and most of these punches would only take about 210 or 220.

Gorgeous Christmas Puddings Katie

Craftygranny I love your sweetie bags and T bag holders

Your Pots of Gold look great Mummyslittleboy I haven't tried making those yet!

Flourgirl the idea for the t bag holders came from the ones you did last year i just put the snail on as they are for the ear trust.

Love the box with the chocs in.


I have one of those punches but for the mints they are a bit too big there is too much space around them. just my opinion though.

those cards with gift tags are fab
