an idea for easter chocolates,places like poundstrecher had the lindt easter bunnies reduced because they were christmas stock but the dates were right on into june, but bear in mind this was last year[meaning still this year 2007] and i havent been out yet to see if there is anything for this year but i will start coz there are good as gifts or the hampers.perhaps if anybody has saw any around with a good date and a bargain they could post?

How about adding a springtime book to a childs hamper?
I found lots of farm books for younger children and a gorgeous book for an older child.

If you want sweet jars, try Ikea - they do the cheapest kilners (Slom from 99p), and also various other jars - try Forvar or Burken with metal lids at 99p each, or if you want glass lids, there's Sota at £1.99.

I also picked up a set of four spice jars from there before christmas that would each hold about a quarter of sweets - Rajtan at £1.99 (50p each).

Someone was looking for knitted egg cosies...theres a few on ebay now..and some look really cute

Also if you're good at knitting yourself (which I'm definitely not ) theres patterns to knit your own too.

I purchased a box with mug & dish in with all the equip to "paint your own". Was hugely reduced in Jan sales.
I was also lucky enough to get the £1 Easter Eggs at Wilkinsons.
My basket stuff is coming along nicely now.
Going to get the other bits from Asda in my weekly shop.
