Where can I buy those cellophane bags they sell potted plants in?

turnitround

I want to buy some of those clear cellophane bags, the type you would get when you buy a plant in a supermarket. They don't need to be the massive ones as they will be holding cups/mugs filled with sweets for Christmas.

i looked on Ebay but they all seem to be the cone shaped ones which are no good or the little ones for wedding favours.
They dont have to have the card bottom inserts but need to be about 7-8 inches wide and about 15 inches tall.

Anyone have any idea where I could buy these please?

Thank you for reminding me I had previously asked. Not that I had forgotten. However those are not big enough otherwise I wouldn't be asking if anyone had any more ideas.

Had those been suitable then of course I would just have bought them and not needed to be patronised.

I wouldn't be posting if I did not need to ask the question.

Sorry - wasn't trying to be nasty!!  I get reminded frequently that I've already posted a query about something which I've obviously forgotten completely about!!!  

I would have thought that 20cm by 30cm would hold a mug and sweets but see that while it might be wide enough it's only about 11 inches high.  

Do this look doable?  Silver card block bottom bags 250 x 375mm, save up to 43% (transpack.co.uk)

No probs, I think I just 'had a moment' there , lol.  
Thanks for he link but sadly nt. The problem I have is that even though that one may be tall enough the base isnt square and being mugs I need the same measurement 'front to back' as 'side to side'. I need to allow for the mug handle as well. 

I do them to donate to the charity shop I work in to sell and they raise quite a bit of money but they take so much time wrapping them in cellophane from a roll, cutting and securing with cellotape. I just hoped for an easier way to do it and those big bags for plants would be ideal so will keep looking.

Would these be too big?

Thank you Elsien.  thought we had cracked it with those. The first are too bug but the second link looked perfect till you look at the gusset size which is only 2.3 inches across so wont hold the cup. 

I thought they would be so east to source but seems not.

After all the searching and help on here I have finally found what I am looking for. I went into a florist to ask where I could buy them (I probably should have done that first!) and she said 'Oh the flower sleeves'. So that's where I went wrong, I was searching cellophane bags when they are called sleeves. Doh!
