Thanks Alison although I can't take credit for the idea though someone else (sorry can't remember who did it) made one and I thought it was a brilliant idea. Its the type of thing you could give year after year rather than just money in an envelope.
I really hope it is a winner and my dad remembers his lovely (LOL) daughter if he wins :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

BunBun made pots of gold for her sons teachers at school

Looks fab Shelley, I have been out shopping today trying to source gold bowls/pots or anything else gold and found nothing!!!

Savingholmes that looks fab!!! but can I ask a really stupid question? ... what on earth are dust bubbles???

Thanks Rusty I couldn't find any gold pots either so ended up with the brown dish which I know he could double up as a pasta dish. I bet closer to Xmas there will be lots of gold bowls around x

Thanks again for the kind comments. You will note that I haven't posted the wrapped version.....:o

Dust bubbles are bubbles that you put around your drill bit somehow so that the dust from drilling goes into a little bag rather than all over your room. (We never got around to using them so am recycling:p ).

Dunelm have gold flat square coasters in a pack of 4 not bowls and are selling "charger" style gold plates... You could always just get gold spray - and spray an ordinary bowl? Might work out cheaper...

No not you! I mean I could probably spray a plant pot ... looks canny with the brown dish though x

Yes thats a good idea and it will be a lot cheaper. I like the bowl but it cost £3 not very moneysaving!!!

Your cello wrap can't be as bad as mine on this 3 tier nappy cake I have sat infront of me!!! lol

Oooh they sound canny, wonder I want some :o

Not sure where the nearest dunelm is, I will have to google it and see ... gives me an excuse to have another trip out this week OH told me to buy some gold paint and some really cheapy bowls and do it that way but will see what I can find first.

I was just going to do the pot of golds in a small wicker basket and put gold tissue on the bottom of it
