We recently went on a break to the East Coast. In a nice little shop they were selling terracotta plant pots on a roof tile that you could either hang or screw onto a wall. Price £10.

Whe we had the roof redone I sold most of the old tiles but probably still have a few hundred hanging around.

Hey presto....

Same way I just have....small drills hole in both pot and tile and some garden wire.

You could do themed ones for Easter, Christmas etc or have ones themed for hobbies with sewing items, golfing bits & pieces etc, etc inside and then put a ribbon around. Would make a really novel gift and then the actual pot could be used afterwards for a plant
