However to my continual frustration I don't have a Home Bargains anywhere near me. Does anybody know where I can get these Dairy Milk Miniature Boxes for a good price?

Hiya I love everything you make and enjoy waking up every morning to check your blog (maybe I need to get a life):rotfl:

Anyhow a quick question, Im pretty new to crafting and to be honest not very good but I would love to try the coaster calendars, where would I get the beermats/coasters from.

Thanks in advance, Im off to write a list of things to make xx

Ask for some at a bar/restaurant for some, outback gave me a whole bundle.

Hi Hollie84

I have been thinking about the Blue Bon Bons ..... wondering if we could think of anything else to use in their place .....



What about blue jelly buttons????? Available in pick and mix I am sure .... you could just pick the blue ones!!!

They have them in Julian Graves .... and they also have them in our 99p shop .... I know cos I ate a bag of them on Friday!!!

And they are the sort of sweets they have on market stalls.

And I am sure we can come up with a "pink" idea to use the pink ones ....

I'm still looking for blue bon bons ..... but I will definatley be making a few bags using these.

Thank you flyingpig! The pack from Poundland sounds ideal. Now then, funnily enough there's not a Poundland really close to me, but there IS one in the town I was going to go to tomorrow anyway! I shall have to have a little look. Many thanks. Your other advent calendars are lovely, but you're right, probably not suitable for my DD yet!

Thanks again!

Re Blue Bon Bons
They have quite a few on ebay from sweetshop sellers -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SOUR-BLUE-RASPBERRY-FLAVOUR-BON-BONS-CHEWY-200grams-/290369829312?pt=UK_Sweets_Chocolate&hash=item439b63f9c0

This one is £1.30 plus p&p of 1.45 for 200g - I guess they would do different quantities !

Thanks for this. I popped in to a Poundland this morning & didn't see any - I looked especially just in case! Were they with the food?

I'm not going to be able to make it for a couple of weeks so I hope they will still be in!

Thanks funnyfreckle

Hello, lurker posting here, just to say they had the Dairy Milk miniatures in Quality Save today (which I'd always thought was Home Bargains anyway!) for £1.19 :T They're in the confectionery aisle, but quite hidden away in the middle of the chocolate, I only noticed them by accident! Hope there's one near you

Thanks Cutterby. Sadly no Quality Save near me we are badly served for cheap shops so I am pinning my hopes on Poundland!

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?
