Hi Victory,

Places like Debs generally take your eyes out with things like this. I learned that last year!! IMO it works out a lot cheaper to make your own, I used the same boxes as giggle, and you can pick them up in wilkinsons or such a like for under £1. Then all you need to do is fill them (Works out loads better because you can choose what sweets go in there and make sure people are going to eat whats in the box)

If you need any help drop me a pm have a few great websites that sell retro sweets for really cheap! (And they are amazing!!!)
HTH

Good evening everyone:D please can I get some of your expertise help with my sweets retro boxes please, I am having a disaster nightmare:eek::D

I have tries poundland, 99p shop, the range and charity shops for the tool box and came up with this one from the 99p shop it is a stretch hands width and across is not big enough has different compartments, looks cluttered and full and reading this thread I used nail varnish remover/baby oil and a hairdryer on the huge sticky product tag and now it has gone but has left a very sticky residue with a hint of baby oil smell about it:rotfl::rotfl:

I did these for my sister and brother in laws christmas eve hampers and they were VERY well received!!!

I got my boxes from The Range last year - think they were about £2.99 but I have managed to sneak them back so I can re-use them for this year!!!

I got mine from Poundland.

I learned my lesson the hard way as I saw them but didn't buy them then and there and they sold out and didn't have any in for ages. As soon as I saw them again, I had to grab them. I got mine a couple of months ago and I haven't seen them since.
