    I've been a bit 'on and off' with these - I bought the boxes in the spring when I first came across the thread, and the plan was to do them for everyone. Then my hampers got a bit bigger than expected, so I knocked the sweet boxes off the ideas list until next year, but the other night I thought 'what the heck', so here it is, my first attempt at a retro box - think I got it right :o

    Anyone come across Cola Frosties anywhere? I can't seem to find them and I know one of my recipients would really appreciate them.

    reehsetin - they're Woolworths boxes, but as I said, they were bought in the spring - think the current ones are pretty much the same though :)


    Tab1967 - thanks - will take a look - should be near there later in the week :)

    Just thought I'd show what I've done for the kids too (the boxes are for the adults)

    Just a little something to add to the presents
