I showed my husband this idea and the poem, he liked it so much he wants us (me) to make three of them for his relatives now for christmas.
I guess that's me looking for golden pots and/or candle glasses the next couple of days :rotfl:
Thanks funkiestmunkiest for the idea and cattie1 for the poem. If I can find and finish these pots I got all the christmas gifts for this year sorted.

I have also decided to steal this idea and was looking for either card treasure chests or cheap cold containers as OP was. Did anyone have any look finding anything?

I managed to find loads of gold candle holders, bowls etc., in Au Naturale some were 49p! I bought glittery ones for 70p from there and they look great! So if anyone's still looking for 'pots' and have an Au Naturale nearby definitely go there.

I couldn't find any chocolate coins in Asda or Tesco (couldn't believe that!) so picked up some in Thorntons for 99p per bag, and intend to split 3 bags between 5 pots ...Just need to get lottery tickets now!

Thanks for all your suggestions! x

Daughter is 16 this week so I'm going to do this for her as she can legally have a lottery ticket then

I am sitting in bed as a result of a torn ligament and I see gold boxes, very Christmassy, which I bought from TK Maxx last year.
What a great idea!

Morrisons have a gold christmas tableware range with some cheap pots in the range failing that cheap candles in pots.

There wasn't a post on the forums about this (well, not that I noticed before I posted!) but, it is on the main site...

You need to scroll down a bit to find it (in the Buy It) section. There are plenty other ideas on there too
