cheap, nice, christmasy containers i can use for homemade sweets

[redderthanred]

Am going to make lots of homemade fudge and sweets with DD for her to give to people.

Am on the look out for cheap containers, that look all nice and christmassy. Or that i can tie nice ribbon round to make look nice.

i have no clue where to look... help!

Try Lakeland...they usually have some nice things for home baking

probably too expensive.

Would kiln jars work? ( am thinking for fudge, maybe dust with gold edible glitter) ribbon tied round?

think they are about £1.99 in asda atm.

save jam jars, buy Christmassy fabric - plain red or green would do, or decorated with holly or similar. Cut out circle with pinking shears and tie over jam jar lid with red or green ribbon. SIL did this last year with her homemade chutney, and it looked fab, and almost free. Sweets would be fine in jars

or, buy cellophane bags from LAkeland - I got 50 for

you could buy pens that work on glass (sharpie markers?) and get DD to decorate the bags/jars too. 2 crafts for one present!

I always use Cellophane bags, you can get ones with Christmas designs on from Lakeland etc. I then tie them with curling ribbon.

Preserving jars only 69p in Ikea! Bargain, as the Le Parfait ones in Lakeland are about £2.50 each

I bought some lovely kilner jars from Ikea for 89p each last week. They had alot of nice jars actually. If you can't get to an Ikea I am sure Asda had kilner jars for 99p last year.
You could decorate with ribbons, xmas stickers (Hobby craft do nice ones), pens that write on glass and make some nice labels.
Either that or the cellophane bags are good, search on e-bay now for a good price love these, but too exp? or these

Another vote for cellophane bags - you can get ones with card bases in the bottom eg here so you can pile the fudge up in a tower without it all collapsing. Then tie with a pretty ribbon and make a tag.
