Cinnamon Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I want to make THESE for my Christmas hapers this year,but am stuck as to where I can buy some nice boxes for them to go in? I don't want to put them into cellophane bags,as I am putting my fudge into those,& I wanted these to be different. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 what about plastic lock and locks I know they dont look all that pretty, but they are rather practical (and they would keep the rather scrummy looking biscuits nice and fresh for a lot longer) just a thought (they could also be re-used too ) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 They sell cheap versions of L&L in Home Bargains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I had a look on ebay, but unless you want a hundred, they are much good I need something similar too, but am still looking. Cello bags for me by the look of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I wonder if you can buy those rustic strong paper bags, with cellophane window fronts & fold over the tops? Biccies in those with a nice address label in gold to seal & a bit of tartan ribbon. I think those would look very nice. Do panduro hobby sell anything suitable? Or hows about displaying some biscuits in a cheap chrome toast rack & wrapping in cellophane with a bow? Just a bit different.

sunshinesupernova Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I was the same as you - wanted pretty gift boxes. They seem to be hard to find in a good selection of patterns and sizes and are also usually rather expensive I recently bought a Crafters Companion Top Score Board. It allows you to score card to make gift boxes and size and shape you fancy. I got it on ebay and also got a good selection of Kanban card in loads of pretty designs and colours. It's very very easy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 oh I forgot about those boards - I've got The Ultimate sat in a cupboard doing nothing. You've reminded me to get it out & make a presentation box for my mums magazine subscription prezzie. Thanks! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Actually, I gave up on the idea of making those cookies,because of the reviews they got - sound like a lot of hard work to me. Thanks anyway, I am sure that link will be useful for something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
