Container for biscuits - gift

    Hello :)

    As part of a Christmas present for someone, I'm baking them some biscuits. Generally when I bake for others it'll be to bring to a party or something, and I'll just put the stuff into something like a Roses tin or a lunchbox and bring that back with me. But because this is a gift, I'd like something a little bit nicer for them. Where could I get a nice tin/container that wouldn't break the bank? :) I actually saw a wine box in Dunnes the other day that seemed like it would hold what I wanted and looked pretty airtight to me (Something a bit like this except without the reindeer, and a lot better looking) Would that do the trick, do you think? Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm just a little bit stumped as to how to present this! :o

    how about a kilner jar like this http://www.heatonsstores.com/Product/Kilner-Clip-Top-Jar-2-Litre/259125/1403030000 Heatons alos have a nice cookie jar but I guess it depends on your budget.

    I have seen boxes similar to that one in local 2 euro shop as gift boxes for putting bottles of drink in as presents. Would not be airtight though but you could put the cookies in a plastic bag inside if you needed airtight.

    Woodies do those kilner jars. And as above I have seen stuff in 2 euro shops which would do the job, some are glass and did seem to have a good seal on the lid.

    They are good since they are a gift themselves which will be used again.

    Thanks for the responses :) I actually saw those jars in the 2 euro shop and didn't even think of them, they'd be ideal. Thanks!

    Dunnes are doing Christmas tins as well think there's 3 in one pack of different sizes not sure how much they are 8-10 euro I guess.

    2 Euro shop is fab for bits though, couldn't do without their plastic cake carriers.
