All That Glitters Is Not Gold

Only in this case, it is.

In March, Mick's auntie and uncle will be celebrating their golden wedding anniversary, that's fifty years of marriage. I remembered reading The Stash Basket blog and thinking what a great idea it was to create a hamper full of all things gold as a golden wedding anniversary gift, so this is what I'm going to do.

I've already started buying a few things.

Box of Terry's All Gold chocolates, Gold biscuits and golden vegetable savoury rice.

Gold coffee and Gold Label tea.

Gold chocolate coins.



I've got a whole shopping list full of gold items yet to collect so it should be a decent sized hamper. I hope they like it.

  5. My parents loved their hamper and still talk about it - I think they ate almost everything, but drew the line at some Golden Linseed Bread (Wwhich in all honesty did look pretty rovolting!) Good luck in your search!

  9. A compilation CD of 'gold' songs is a great idea, Denise, definitely one I'll use. Thank you for the very kind offer of making a card for me, I'll give you a shout if I get stuck.

    I'll be sure to post a picture of the hamper when it's complete. I'm enjoying shopping for it.
