Also i noticed some wedding favor cases on this site that were in the shape of teddies and dinosaurs and they were plastic i think. Looked really cute x
We were looking at some in Hobbycraft at weekend - great prices and different sizes x

Asda do some traditional sweet jars with sweets inside for £2 each so you could take the sweets out and wash the jars?
CommentAuthorkaz44
i got glass jars with lids from asda for 97p, got a couple of nice wide vases from there also, i picked up a couple of really nice glass sundae style dishes in dunelm mill for £2, i've just been picking bits and pieces up when i see them xx
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni

p.s have changed the category for this thread .... please check it before posting
i've found some lovely pedestal style bowls on the webpage for dunelm mill, maybe try them. They were incredibly cheap and there are loads of reviews from ladies who used them for sweetie buffets at weddings saying they're perfect xx

I've been collecting jars,bowls & vases from loads of places. Asda, QD, Beales Department store. Basically whenever I'm out and see something on offer I buy 1 or 2. The Range is also really good for large Martini Glasses. I really need to do a mock up and some point to see if I have too many!
I know it sounds terribly practical but when I've been buying them I've been thinking about what I can use them for afterwards.

we got our jars from Asda, poundland and B&M, all different sizes and shapes with lids etc...... £1 each - brilliant - sweetie bar went down brilliantly too xx
CommentAuthorFutureMrsClarke
Go to a nice cheapy pound shop then get some glass paints, you can do some gorgeous designs yourself then you know you'll have exactly what you want. Glass painting is a hobby of mine, its very relaxing and then youve got something pretty once youre done!
CommentAuthorMrsMcleish2B
Hiya I got my vases in the Range. I got 5 large different types for £40 total which I thought was a bargin and then the sweets from Makro, old fashioned sweet bags from Ebay and prob getting the scoops and tongs from Amazon.

I fell in love some vintage jars/vases but with them being £20 each it was kinda a no go area lol I have found a lady who uses them tho so i'm using her instead and she's doing a mixture of desserts and sweets for me as we are having it for the evening reception and are not having a buffet only bacon rolls and mini chip cones so this will act as dessert :-)

Thank you for all your replies! I'll keep an eye out then!

CommentAuthorjo Santa
personally I think that the ones from Asda are great simply because I will use them afterwards and if there's any left overs the lids can be put on and the sweets taken away afterwards. I'm not overdoing the sweets as I know if I've got loads left over I will put on all the weight I've been suffering in order to lose!!

car boot sales, paid no more than £1.50 each!
CommentAuthorMrsRowan2be
I have loads of vases etc already although I will be going car boot sales next summer to see if I can get some more interesting shaped ones etc. And probably loads of crap that I don't need!!! Xx
