I love this idea for the kids, my mum always comes round on xmas eve to leave a present on the doorstep for the kids so they think it's santa, I'll be able to have fun decorating the boxes and then fill them with sweets from the market, the place I go is so cheap

I certainly will. It's a bit annoying that we don't have a Hobbycraft or Poundstretcher but will havt to browse the other two stores. Are they just called tool boxes as I may just phone first to check if they have. As for cellophane does everyone get that at the local florist? How much is is please?

My mum got a couple of large rolls of patterned and plain cellophane off ebay for cheap

This seller is really good and sells in 5m and 10m rolls from about £1.80 depending on if you want plain or a patterned.
