  • Lakeland definitely sell them because I bought some there (used them for toffeee apples this week). However, they might only stock them in the summer as they tend to change their stock frequently.

    I've seen packets of wooden lolly sticks in The Works. They are in their craft section but I can't see why they can't be used for lollies-you could always check the packet to see if it says whether they are unsuitable for food use.

    Have you had a look on ebay?
    I haven't seen any packs in the £1 shops, but I will have a look next time I'm in one.

    I've seen them in crosses the art shop.They probably have them at Hobbycraft too. Cant think where you would get christmas moulds though unless you have a catering supplies shop.

    Lidl had them a couple of weeks ago, you might get lucky and find some left.

    Cheeky but perhaps ask your local coffee shop if you can have a handful of wooden stirrers - would they work ??

    Even cheekier - help yourself to a handful when you are at the "add your own sugar etc" station!
