Guest Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I found this idea on a craft forum. I have made 2 for my girls instead of selection boxes. I bought them a craft box each and filled with their favourite sweets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 What a fantastic idea! Hmm... what shall I fill mine with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Great idea, less recycle and they can use the box all year round. (to store all the good behaviour stickers they get from school ) Peggy p.s. I'd fill mine with liquorice allsorts, pear drops, revels, sherbert saucers, black jacks and fruit salads. (showing my age now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Oooh, that's a great idea...now, have I actually got time to do it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Well I must admit some of those I have put in their sweetie hampers are my favourites...you never know I might be able to pinch one or two and one or two did fall into my mouth when I was making them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooo good idea, be brill for easter. You could put those little tiny chicks in too. Far better than a hollow chocolate egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue I've got loads of these boxes and have duly filled three for the children.Hubby looked a bit miffed so I've secretly filled one for his stocking! When it comes to sweeties my hubby will always be a 'littlie' Karrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 you never know I might be able to pinch one or two and one or two did fall into my mouth when I was making them I think what you're describing is 'quality control' isn't it, greenteaaddict?

JacquieL Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yum yum I'd have pink kali, red kali, orange kali, yellow kali, sherbet dip, saucers, black jacks, liquorice sticks and pink bubble gum, cherry lips, sherbet lemons, pear drops, Pontefract cakes, spangles and bon bons. I can dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Fabulous idea . My brother came back from a weekend in the Lakes recently with pressy of some 'sweet baccy' (something we used to buy every week when we were little and went to the Odean club - Saturday morning cinema.) He bought it from a old fashioned sweet shop - www.oldcornershop.co.uk if anyone's interested. The shops are in Keswick and Penrith. Did look on the site greenteaaddict, but couldn't find 'black jacks'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 There is a similar shop in a little scottish village called taynuilt. It is like going back 40 years. Big jars of sweets and a little old lady serving That is what sweet shops should be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I bought black jacks and fruit salads a couple of years ago at Christmas. I was the only one who seemed to like the black jacks though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
