hope that works! if not try their website and type in candy in the grocery search box!

i have also seen snowman and xmas marshmallows in superdrug! and wilko too. sainsburys sell the small bars of dairy milk for 15p each, which is 3p each cheaper than their 6 pack!

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me posting.

I have been reading this thread with interest and am aiming to attempt some of the makes next month, will only try a couple just incase they don't turn out very well.

Whilst having a nosey around today the Range have Elizabeth Shaw mint 2 for £5, peppermint candy canes 12 for £1 and a big shot for £49.99. Not sure if these are a good price so thought I'd share.

Regards

Bitsy Bean – love your Tree with the gems Christmas card. It looks so elegant. Your other cards are great too. Well done.

Mary OP – not sure where you would get strip magnets from. I’ve been using some magnetic foam that I got from Hobbycraft when it was cheap a couple of months ago, and have taken the foam off so I have an A4 size magnet, which I have been cutting down and attaching a strip to the top and bottom of the kitchen organisers I have been making.

Helen – stunning cake stand it is gorgeous, and I can’t believe was only £1.70 to make.

Student12 – Fab countdown calendars.

I’ve had a couple of hours on my own today, so finished off making my first lot of Reindeer Poop, and some sweet bag toppers ready for the ES Mints just before Christmas. I am really pleased with how they have all come out:





Looks like you got loads of bargains today Craftfaries. We don't have a HB near hear so I have just booked a cheap night in a travel lodge on the M6 near Birmingham in November, to visit all the stores in the area. Can't wait .

moosetastic

well, had a good day of crafting today, this is what I have made -









I bought the calendar tabs from The Works today, 20p each, but they seem a little big for the beermat?? I have ordered some Anitas ones from Ebay so hope they will be a bit smaller. I have made another 8 beermat calendar bases, so I can just add the calendar tab and embellishments once they arrive. Can I ask how much do you sell the calendars for??

The reindeers have little chocolate xmas lollies in them from Aldi, 99p for 9, so should be able to make a decent profit on them even if I sell them at 50p each.

I have also made about 50 magnetic pegs as well today, just need to bag them up and they'll be ready to go as well.

All in all a very productive day, even though there's only 3 pics to show for it! LOL x

Fab makes Moosetastic. Love what you have done with the chocolate lollies.

I want to try a couple of reindeer flannel/soaps, and wondered where people got the little bells from and brown pipe cleaners.

craftfairies

brown pipe cleaners are 3 for 2 in hobbycraft but you can mix and match with loads of stuff so i got red pom poms for noses too

aw Hollie that isso generous of you. I am going to give it one last shot this week at finding them in a local shop. Could I ask what the exact name of the shop was? I have various poundshops round my way scattered about so if I knew which one to hit it may narrow it down!
I think I have
B+M bargains
Home Bargains
Poundworld
Poundland
Poundshop
off the top of my head! A couple are on a precient I dont visit as you have to pay to park and its similar shops to the other (plus its abit rough :S) but may make the effort this week in my bid for mini candy canes hahaha

Oh and whats the gram weight of the box if you have it to hand Hollie ?
