I used these for my little pots of gold this year. They look very festive once completed.

    Haha, sorry.

    Pots of gold are what a lot of people on here make for Christmas! Its a pot (or in my case these cups) filled with gold items (e.g ferrero rocher, wurthers sweets, twix, gold coins, a gold lottery ticket) then we cellaphane them up and I use them as table gifts on xmas day.

    Will try and find a photo for you ;)

  • i have read in the 'preparing for xmas 2011' thread that you can buy a twin pack of gold pots from poundland - although i haven't seen them myself they sound perfect for the job! - thought it might be worth mentioning although these look lovely and posh :)

    If I made these and put them on the table, the grandchildren would just eat these and refuse to eat dinner!
