Pots of gold?

candie_gill

I saw some lovely pots in poundshop, pack of three gold pots near the candle section for £1. They would make lovely pots of gold, question is what do you all put in yours?

I'm going to buy the things i need and make them september time, the cellophane i ordered from ebay, i have lots of festive confetti. I also have seen some gold sweets on ebay supposed to be for wedding favours that would go lovely in it, maybe a scratch card, some chocolate coins and a ferero rocher? I don't want to go down the route of vouchers or money as these are a table favour for Christmas dinner, any ideas would be much appreciated thankyou

In mine last year I put some shredded gold tissue in the bottom. In all of them I put some werthers originals, a gold biscuit bar, a ferrero rocher, some gold coins and a scratch card. Then for my mum and gran I put in a book of first class stamps, for hubby and dad a miniature bottle of whiskey and for daughter and son a gold xmas bath bomb from lush.. Made one for myself of course and wrapped in cello and tied with gold ribbons. They went down a storm. Hope that helps.

Thankyou everyone some good tips there The gold pots i found where actually packs of two but well worth it and sooo classy looking. So far i have bought worthers originals and some gold mint crisp things that are coin shaped. Waiting for delivery of cellophane, will buy a few gold coins and festive scratch cards and they are done. I hope my guests love them, i think having them as a favour on the table will really add that personal touch. I will post some pics later when they are finished

OK you got me at it now. Thinking of silver things to put in and now getting excited. My kids are 15 and 12 and obviously dont "believe" now but I always tell them that they have to humour me at xmas time. I do go over the top but hey!! :j
