Under a fiver creation of the week!

 

Ok blogger has crashed on me twice and I've written this for the third time so I'm gonna keep it short and sweet.
Ingredients for a low budget gift/ wedding table decorations.
: One jam jar ,One tea light, One broken necklace (Buy your own to break from primark or charity shop)Less than a £1.00 gift and Boom , simple pretty and effective !!!!

Contain yourself!

I will never forget a remark made to me by an older gentleman when I was standing at the bus stop.I was sipping out of a plastic water bottle.He turned and very in a very charming manner said how he couldn't understand my generations obsession with bottled water ,as he always felt so lucky to live in a place where we can get water out of the tap for free!Plus all the plastic bottles end up polluting the planet and need to be recycled.A very fair point!
When I got home I thoughtfully re filled my plastic bottle with tap water and put it in the fridge for next time.I then thought about what other things I could refill around the house to save money.
I'm not ashamed to say that design and aesthetics are important to me!
Does my 40p value rice look so value in the glass container?Is it really fairy liquid in the vintage bottle?(Nope once i used it I refill it with cheaper washing up bubbles.)
For the label lover you can bid for designer bottles for bathroom products on Ebay and then refill them with cheaper shower gels,shampoo's etc.( don't fill them up and then try and re sell them on Ebay :thats fraud naughty monkeys and Brassictoymonkey does not approve!)
The Davelarr cookie tin was a gift !It is so pretty and you can get them from waitrose for around £3.50 .They make a lovely cheap gift and once empty ,a very pretty place to store other biscuits.
Free refill ? Yes please!
