    people last year seemed to buy them off local florists as i recall. I was also recommended by an mse'r www.bagnboxman.co.uk who sell them in different sizes. I used them last year with no probs.

    Next stop: house repairs, holiday fund, replace our very old cars, more financial security/early retirement savings.🤞
  • You can buy a 5m roll for £1.70 plus about £1.50 postage on ebay :)

  • I bought some lovely stuff from Ikea last year with cherubs on in red and gold. Don't know if they have it again this year...hope they do :-)

    If you know of someone with a Country Baskets card ask them to take you. Check out if you have one locally first! You can get a card if you are self employed or involved in work for a charity. They do various size rolls along with different patterns and ribbon, vases flowers candles and much more. If anyone gets chance to go it's definately worth a visit.

  • Try a florists wholesalers - I managed to get a card for my local one as they counted my Body Shop Parties as a buisness.

  • Yes, you could try a florists wholesalers...however, whereabouts are you in the UK? Do you ever visit Birmingham??

    I use a lot of cellophane making gift platters for weddings as it's taditional in our culture...I usually spend a fortune...but recently went to an old haunt in B'ham and they have a huge selection of everything you'd want for something like this.

    The warehouse is called "M Latif & Sons" and is within walking distance of the City Centre. It's on Curzon Street

    There's a special section which has all the flower arranging and stuff in it.

    Loads of prints as well as plain cellophane!
