Want to buy Biscuit barrel with carry handle

quickstepqueen

Does anyone know where you can buy biscuit barrels with carry handles. They all seem to just have a knob on the top.

You could buy them years ago but they seem to have disappeared. The problem with ones without handles are they are not so easy to move about/carry.

If someone knows where they've seen one I would be grateful. I live in Lincolnshire but am willing to travel/pay extra postage to buy one of these for my parents.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I bought a clear jar/barrel with a carry handle from M&S - just looked on their website and they haven't got them listed, though they do have them in store.

It has an excellent fastening mechanism - no stale biscuits, unlike other containers I have tried.

Sorry can't remember how much it cost.

Thankyou Dora37

I think mum would prefer a biscuit barrel with a pattern on but I'll have a look at the clear one in M&S.

If anyone else has any other suggestions they will still be much appreciated.

Had a look at the clear one dora but Mum wasn't keen. Thanks for the tip though.

She'd really like something like the one below but with a carry handle. If anyone else out there can help it'll be greatly appreciated:

It might be worth keeping your eye open for a biscuit tin specially made for christmas. They sometimes come in barrel shape. We had one a couple of years ago full of shortbread. It had a handle. Cant remember who made it though, sorry.

T K Maxx are usually quite good for this sort of thing. Haven't looked lately, though so don't make a special trip!

Thanks guys. Funnily enough a TK Maxx opened up in our town only last week so will check it out. Thanks for your help. Will keep my eyes peeled around the xmas gifts aisles aswell.

PS. This forum is just great. Where else could I get this amount of help and assistance?
