Oh, I am sorry. Must be terrible to go to all that work for very little. Do you have another way of selling your makes ?

I've always been a big fan of M&S fizz, I like the pink, the cosmopolitan, the mojito generally like the Christmas ones. This week I picked up the Clementine and Pomegranate one - opened a bottle tonight and it's gone down very nicely (and probably too quickly!)

They used to be 2 for £7 but best deal I've seen for a while is 2 for £8, not the cheapest by definitely not the most expensive I've seen. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes a bucks fizz - it's lovely!

lizalloareds Oh no, I am so sorry hun

I keep telling myself not to go mad with the quantities, I can always take orders whilst there. Best to do this trial run fete and run out then have lots left over that wont sell until next year!

Hey guys I went into Costco today with my stepdad, sister && baby brother we seen the reindeer teddies that where posted on here a while ago (the big ones with flashing nose) my little brother then decided he wanted one and was carrying it around the shop shouting dad dad I NEED this haha bless him the teddy was the same size as him so was a funny sight!! Of corse he got one !! He then proclaimed oh wow this day has been awesome (he's 3) I picked up a yard of Jaffa cakes for £3 that was all!! Then we went to jtf where I picked up 2 bottles of something or another tht my sister boyfriend drinks && think that was it! But was a good day & I could have spent loads although I didn't

Hope everyone has had a nice 1st dec

Hi guys,

Can't believe we're into December already :jHad my choir xmas party last night and we're doing some Christmas carolling dates next week so feeling much more xmassy now Got some really cute glasses painted with santas and snowmen in my local charity shop so am thinking can fill them with sweets or something and will be nice for little token gifts. Does anyone have any ideas for what I could display them in though? Don't want them breaking on me but don't want to spending a lot on gift boxes.

Should be easy enough to make a cardboard 'display' box from a cupcake box or milk carton, here is a pinterest link. You should be able to easily re-size it in an word document and you can always cut out windows and back with Lidl celophane if you want to see the glasses through the box - HTH

Thanks, got another one on tuesday and it's in a local business centre so at least I won't need to make much more. x
