Make retro candy/sweet boxes and bouquets for adults & kids + Photos (MERGED)

I saw a thread showing a diy type compartment storage box full of sweets that was being sold for £25.
I went in Netto today and they had some for 99p in grey, pink and blue.
They are brilliant, I bought a grey and a pink for my son and daughter. Will get some sweets to put in it when I next go shopping.

I went to woolies and saw the big 17 compartment one .... was a bit "masculine" and big for the girls though ....

This one is a bit dear at £9 but looks good or this one at £3.95.

This one on ebay looks the most like the one that's for sale with the sweets though.

I think any craft or bead box would do or maybe one of those with little draws instead.

filled a jewellry box last year with bits of sweets this year am filling bins for the nieces and nephew

There is another thread going that says you can get boxes like these at Netto for 99p!!! Sounds a good bargain

I got a box like this at The Range to keep craft stuff in.
