Just brought mine and went to Tesco for all the little sweets.

Try Asda for containers, I bought two clear ones last week with approx. 18 compartments in for £1.95 - perfect for sweet storage! They were in the aisle with tools/paint etc. Also, for sweets, went to a Cadbury's outlet store and bought a few large bags of mixed sweets which will look great!

I had this idea yesterday too!! been for my goodies today, hadnt thought of a fishing box though i was going cardboard so thanks for that!! nice one!!

Another idea i got from the 'i want one of those' cataloge was this towel.(you really have to see it) http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/ghost-towel/index.html

I thought it would really tickle my dad and he would get a real laugh out of it. But at £25 quid for a towel a tad steep!! So i made my own!!!

Got bath sheet from TJ hughes for £2 and 25cm of edging tape from a market for 40p and ta da!!! ha ha i havent got a photo of mine yet but ill get one up if anyone wants to see me wearing it ha ha. im really chuffed!!
