    Ooops, sorry !!!
    Cool, what does the label say?

    Did you say nothing?
    When you were asked

    what you wanted for christmas.
    Don't you remember saying
    'NOTHING'.
    Well this time somebody heard
    you, searched high and low
    and found this perfect gift
    for you.

    I managed to find some plastic ones, only 60 cents each. Same size as a normal jam jar.

    Not exactly in a jar ..... but in a cup, complete with its own spoon and coaster.

    4 x Horlicks satches - 20 something pence each from Home Bargins.
    Cup bought in Spain for 2.50 euro's

    Hmmm, think I need to get some orange ribbon to go with the green one.

  • I love the 'jar of nothing' will have to remember that for dh - he always says that he doesn't want anything.
    Did you make the labels yourself on the printer?
    Has the cup got a little saucer under it?

    Hi Crystalclear, yes I made them up on Word, then just used double sided tape to stick them on. PM me and I'll email it to you if you want a copy.

    The cup has got a little saucer under it.
    I've been kicking myself ever since I visited the £ shop and saw these cups with spoons AND didn't buy any. Luckily I found some over here in a cheapy shop.

    Candy, love your jar of nothing - how fab. I bet you could sell them for quite a lot of £! Amazing what some people will buy!

    Also love your mug gift.
