Can someone update me on where to buy the boxes-cant find one.

loads of places do them, stationary shops, tool shops, pound shops ....

I've been a bit 'on and off' with these - I bought the boxes in the spring when I first came across the thread, and the plan was to do them for everyone. Then my hampers got a bit bigger than expected, so I knocked the sweet boxes off the ideas list until next year, but the other night I thought 'what the heck', so here it is, my first attempt at a retro box - think I got it right





Anyone come across Cola Frosties anywhere? I can't seem to find them and I know one of my recipients would really appreciate them.

reehsetin - they're Woolworths boxes, but as I said, they were bought in the spring - think the current ones are pretty much the same though


Tab1967 - thanks - will take a look - should be near there later in the week

Just thought I'd show what I've done for the kids too (the boxes are for the adults)



Just a little something to add to the presents

has anyone any ideas for a short poem or rhyme to go with the sweet box?
