Thank you very much Gandy, they look really good! Does anyone know how to convert the recipes into UK measurements from US cups?

alternatively most supermarkets sell the cups at a fairly good price i know i've seen them in asda and tescos before.

Does anyone think that those 9p curry jars from Sainsburys would be any use? or maybe too small?

I have just come across the gift in a jar idea and done one for hubby filled with different packs of nuts, layered, from Lidl.

Jane -like the idea of layered nuts - can't do it this year as OH broke his hip and I'm not very mobile at the minute so its a case of having to do what I can with whats about in the house.
Stil got some empty kitchen jars.........have to have a poke about in the pantry I think.

Oh............just thought...........got some choccies in green wrappers and some plain choccys plus a few 'matchsticks' (unwrapped) -wonder if I can layer then to make them more interesting.......
