Love all your matching jars by the way:smileyhea it's the OCD in me!:rotfl:

Thank you! My OCD is annoyed that I didn't have enough black lids for the herb jelly... I'll make the fabric jar toppers at the weekend to hide the different colour lids :rotfl:

In the past I have used cheap wicker/seagrass/bamboo storage baskets from Dunelm/Morrisons/Lakeland and jute bags from ebay. Last year I bought lovely wicker baskets with a handle and lined with red & white gingham fabric from Dunelm for £4.99 - I hope they still have them!

Thank you, i was looking at the bags on ebay too, I stole the idea off of Lakeland..but I can't see how to present that nicely enough to give a present.

I'll get searching for some cheap but nice storage boxes I think!

Nope.

I've found a few metal/enamel and loads of plastic, but can't find bright yellow ceramic, and definitely not in that size.

Target have some smaller yellow ceramic ones, but that doesn't help!!

I'm in the US in September on a business trip and there's a Target near to the hotel

Just back from Target - not a yellow plant pot in sight :(:(
