Hmm I need some seeds too as I am making a mini 'flower pot hamper' for my OH's mum. I've got a small flowerpot that used to have an orchid in it that i'm going to clean up, I just bought some lovely Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners hand cream to put in it and I also want to get a pack of seeds and some gardening gloves to go with it. What i'm not sure about is how do I knoe what seeds would be good for the size of flower pot i've got?? It's not very big!

Got some seeds in the Range . 99p bogof.
They have flower and vegetable seeds.

Thanks for that Dunelm Mill and Wilkinson and both about a 40 mile round trip for me and there is no Tiger near me either

Do you think these ones would work?

I think they would be fine. They are 15cm high. I would buy them now and air them.
I bought some seagrass baskets in Argos and they stunk. :eek:

own my own you have made some fab things and i am sure they will sell well. I love the foodie bits too. is the oreo made using the big cookie mould? do you ust use a normal cookie mix?

Hello bunbun2,
The oreo mould is from The Works, and everything on the tray is made with chocolate. I cannot bake to save my life.:rotfl:



Cannot remember who wanted a large bell. But I found one in the Range for £2.99. It is very large and it rings.



They also have these gift tags.

We are having chicken (not a turkey fan) and beef. And i got them both this week reduced and chucked in the freezer. Beef joint was £10 down to £2.50 and chicken is a double breast stuffed and was £7 down to £3 so pleased with my bargains!

Also my DS duvet set came from h&m today its so cute cant wait to get it on his bed on 1st dec!

own my own I have seen the mould in the works. I hadn't thought about using chocolate in it but love the idea - my baking doesn't always turn out as it should!

DD 3rd birthday today which went really well, but havent been on since sun & missed 16 pages, unfortunatly not enough time to catch up at mo so hope everyone is well and i havent missed too many christmas bargains or tips.

Remember when reading Sunday someone was doing a Spongebob hamper, not online so may be store specific but metrocentre entertainer has spongebob games box for £5 (half price) its a plastic spongebob storage box (which you could use as hamper base) and it has a couple of games inside didnt look too closely so not sure what the games are and may have been card games but worth checking if you have an entertainer local.

Thanks, going Nottingham sunday & im pretty sure theres an entertainer there so I will have a look :rudolf:
doing quite well with the spongebob hamper, Ive only spent £8.20 so far & there is loads!!! The games box sounds ideal to bulk it up, and then after packaging & wrapping I should stand to make almost £5 profit!! Not bad for a weeks worth of bargain hunting! I think so far rrp of contents is almost the £25 Im charging so dont feel too guilty about making a small profit!

Aren't they the same tags as the ones in pound land? Bargain! Sadly no range nearby for me

Loving all your choc stuff. I've been making a few things myself, it's fun but I might not think so when I've made quite a few

Anyone watching Pound Shop Wars on BBC1 at the mo? It's quite interesting.

I spoke to DS tonight about elves. I told him they make toys. Thought he'd get excited, but when I said they sometimes get into mischief by eating biscuits , he told me he hopes they don't come to our house and eat all the biscuits. Oh dear...

Hi folks well I've just got back from my first Bents Xmas Demonstration Evening and I have to say they are well worth attending! As a bonus this evening there was a Yankee Candle Demonstration and they had goody bags for the first 50 people of which I was one! Demonstrations covered dressing your tree, making bows , floral arrangements, table settings and gift wrapping. There products are expensive but for me it's the ideas and seeing the demonstration first hand. The staff are really helpful as well and help with colour schemes, suggestions etc. they start at 630pm on a Wednesday evening and there are workshops on a Thursday 1-3pm. Anyone local to Manchester/Warrington/liverpool should really give them a go!
