    What about a classic / retro look?

    A turkey foil dish (good large size), then in your shredder (presuming you have one) shred some newspaper, put the paper onto the tray, then arrange the cups around the outside, then a nice plack of coffee in the middle, preferable one that is mainly also black and white, like the one below. Then cover in cellophane (or clingfilm). Jobs a goodun!

    oo interesting idea - like the turkey foil idea.
    Oh has a shredder at work so I have asked him to bring me a bag of shredded paper so thats the padding.
    Its for Eldest childs lovely new Oh who has a new Nepresso - I am wondering now where I can get the capsules from over the weekend - the official ones ....
    Just got to figure out where to get a big cellophane bag ideally with a Christmassy theme
