    What about the pots of gold? I'm making them for my Table gifts this year, pretty glasses,lametta, choc coins, toffees, fererro, lindt bear and a lottery scratchcard, all wrapped in cellophane with a pretty bow and label! Got the idea on here but I can't find the link anywhere!

    Hello ladies! (and gentlemen!)

    Have been lurking here a looooong time, have read from page 1 and feel like I know you all! :p

    You've helped me so much this year with my xmas pressies, I'm doing hampers, snowman soup and pots of gold-all so personal and gifts I would love to receive myself.

    Anyway I de-lurked to ask if any of you had seen any nice baskets for hampers anywhere? I'm really struggling, have a B&Ms, Home Bargains, Wilkinsons and Boyes all pretty much within 5 minutes drive and haven't managed to find any :(

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Oh oh! Also, I need some gold foil/paper to put in the bottom of my pots of gold and cant find any of that either x

    There is also one in Harwich.
    Where Focus used to be.
    Its been there since Easter.

    (Am now on page 72:j:j:j)

    Please stop posting links. I am losing the will to live.:rotfl:

    My DS had a football match in Chelmsford yesterday. As I have read so much about Home Bargains on this thread, I took the opportunity to pop into the one in Chelmsford.

    For those who have not been to a Home Bargains before, I can report back that it has the same stuff as a Pound Stretcher store.

    I got my baskets from Dunelm Mill. I also saw some in Home Bargains in Chelmsford for £6 yesterday. They were lined with red fabric.

    I used gold serviettes for the bottom of my pots of gold.
