A friend of mine sent me the picture below. Does anyone know where I might buy a pail/bucket/container along those lines to put together soap gift baskets?

I've tried eBay, I've tried the wholesale websites like DHGate and Aliexpress, and I've tried googling. Problem is, I don't really know what it's called. I've tried looking for pails, buckets, metal pails, gift basket supplies, gift basket pails, soap pails, soap gift basket supplies, etc, etc. Everything I am turning up is either too large, too expensive ($20+ for one item), or an already assembled gift basket.

Any help with where to buy, or what terms to search with? I don't want anything big, just something to put a few items in as a gift basket (without using an actual basket per say. I would like them to be different/unique)

I realize that you are in Australia, but here is one site that has wooden buckets. http://www.craftparts.com/flower-pots-b ... 4_275.html
My soap dishes came from here. http://www.buhiimports.com/wiregalvanized.htm

Okay, so I don't know the whole story here. They are hard to find individually, so if you only need or want one or two, best place to look is your local craft store. However, if you're planning on doing this from a business stand point, I would highly suggest checking out alibaba.com. I found one of many vendors at this location http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/30933 ... asket.html

Now, when you shop alibaba, you have to be careful. Check for verified companies, gold stars, user reviews of their shopping experience, and years on the site to verify REAL companies. The one I posted above fits these qualifications. There are typically minimum orders. Above is a minimum of 300. It was the smallest number I could find in 30 minutes or less and still be a product like what you wanted.


As for the painting, there are places that offer painted buckets, but have higher minimum orders - like 1000! Many of them are located in the East - China, Taiwan, Japan, etc. so it's much less of a problem getting them to you in Ozzie. I hope this was helpful! :)

I've tried searching Aliexpress and DHGate but not had much luck >< Could be I was just searching for the wrong terms.

This type of gift basket is a tin pail. You may also be able to custom-order some from a tin packaging company instead of trying to negotiate abroad. Good luck! ^_^

The style for the basket is good. Just can't figure out if its metal or ratan made. I refer than plastics containers.
