Does anyone know where to buy Smoothie/Milkshake cups from?

As the title says I am looking to make a movie hamper for my friend and her son and would love to put a couple of smoothie/milkshake cups with lids in the hamper as you would in the movies. I only need a couple and when I googled it Ebay and google all seem to sell in packs of 25 or more which I dont want to buy if i dont have too. I have tried my local VUE and they wont sell me any nor will starbucks or mcdonalds.

Any ideas?:)

  • I'd go back with a child, one other and buy one drink and ask for extra cup saying child spills it when too full!;) They can't really argue with that

  • last year I made up movie hampers for everyone. I got Coca-cola branded plastic cups with lids and a bendy straw in Home Bargains. Sorry can't remember how much they were but they would have been cheap. maybe have a look in there for something similar. My movie hampers went down a storm...couple of cheap DVDs, Doritos, sweets, microwave popcorn sachets, cups and for the girls ones I put some face masks and nail polish in- kind of girls night in style. I love doing hampers!!
  • Thanks for your replies. Took the lo to McDonalds for dinner and told them she had a school project so they gave me a couple of sundae cups. They may do but do not have the hole in the top for the straw. May take her to the cinema tomorrow if I get up in time for the early showing at Vue and may try the same trick see if they will give me a couple of the bigger cups.
    Thanks for the help x
  • Hi Wendy, did you manage to get some? I have some you can have if you're still looking?

    No I didnt unfortunately. When I asked Vue they said they couldnt let me have 2 of them and I offered to pay for them and he told me they wouldnt do that either.

    If you dont mind I would be more than willing to pay for them.
    Thanks:j
