Tins for baked goods?
« on: December 13, 2006, 10:23:00 PM »
I'm baking cookies and brownies to give to my daughters' teachers.  In the US, Target or Walmart would have a huge display of inexpensive round or square metal or plastic tins to put them in.  I can't find them anywhere here (although now I realize I haven't checked Asda.)  I didn't think this would be difficult!  Does anyone have suggestions on where I might find them?  Thanks.  :)

I just thought the same thing over the weekend for cookies!

How about Woolworths or Asda?

Oh how I miss Target!!

Not sure where you live, but they are always available at the Rag Market (outdoor market) in Birmingham near the Bull Ring.  The market is open on Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sat from @9:30-4:30.  There is a vendor at one of the outdoor stalls that sells all kinds of aluminum pans, baking sheets, muffin tins, serving platters, etc...  Happy baking!

Have you tried Wilkinson's?

I was able to get a big Christmas tin for my cake there.

i always see them at car boot sales.   Woolies or Asda sound like good possibilities!

At Ikea, they sell these little ginger-snap type cookies in a beautiful round tin that has a picture of Santa feeding a cookie to a goat.   I bought a few of those, dumped the cookies into freezer bags, and have used the tins for other things, including gifts.

You should see how lovely these are... maybe it's just because i really like goats, though!  ;)

Thanks for all the suggestions!  I did try my local Woolworths and Wilkinsons (places I thought for sure would have them!) but nothing.  I'll try a different Woolworths, Asda, and TKMaxx today.  I know TJMaxx in the US would have tins.

Oh and out of curiousity, how much were the lovely Ikea goat tins?  :)

£2.99 isn't bad!   :)

I found a set of three small red plastic containers printed with Santas.  £2.50 at a big Woolworth at the mall at Lakeside.  I tried Asda Living, TKMaxx, and every other possible store in the mall.  I didn't go to our pound store though because that was a different direction and I'd have had to repark and I'd had it by that point.  :)

Go to Ikea after Christmas and buy them when they're going for half price...  then you'll have them for next year!  :)
