Where can I buy nice but not overly expensive tea/coffee tins?

We're having the kitchen done and a couple of small cupboards are open plan and I'm planning on using them for putting the tea and coffee in in nice pots/tins. They need to look nice as they'll be on show, we've never had fancy tea tin type things before!

The kitchen is off white units with sage green walls and tiles with cream, black and eau de nil type of colour. It's a traditional type of kitchen so I want something in keeping. I want something nice and unusual and decorative that will coordinate well but can't find anything I like and it's all a bit expensive for what they are (need 4 tins for tea/coffee/camomile tea/sugar). I'm not adverse to a bit of chinz/antiquey stuff. Looked online on lakeland and John Lewis.

Need to be non breakable or DD will drop them straight away.

Wilkinsons have some nice reasonable priced ones.

I've just got some lovely ones from asda on sale as well. They have also got them online Smile

Wilkinsons seconded. Or trawl your local charity shops.

Matalan?

Maybe not cheap cheap but I have Emma Bridgewater spotty tins. Sound like they would really match!

Looked on amazon but so many to choose from I got all confused Confused

Wilkinsons might be worth a look, good thinking. Will look online at asda in a min and might pop into sainsburys tomorrow as they sometimes have nice homeware bits.

lily I looked at the emma bridgewater spotty tins, but, dare I say it, I'm getting a bit bored with that spotty pattern as it's everywhere Blush

There were some nice pale blue tea/coffee type tins in Sainsburys when I went in last week.

I seem to see lovely sets everywhere I go, in just the right colour I'm after for a new kitchen, but we don't drink tea or coffee. Sod's law.

Just to update I ended out getting this one . It's not as exciting as I wanted but the 2 colours match exactly the kitchen so it looks good. Thanks for the help.
