Hehe my niece is starting at quackers in Sept! Too bad I will no longer be living here by then

Last time I was in there they had several, they are on the top shelf on the homewares aisle, I would have got more but the other half would have shot me hehe

Ok, I have finally achieved a miracle for me, something creative....you would all be so proud.
I bought my basket from Wilko's and went with the orange and black theme!!
Its a right old mixture of things in it, but it will look fab-
Contents as follows

1 large wicker basket - wilko's £3.99
Shredded tissue paper then
1 boxed bottle Southern Comfort - free (gift for OH, he really can't drink the stuff after bit too much as xmas!! he he)
1 tube of garnier nutrese foot cream - 3.49
1 tube garnier nutrese hand cream - 3.99
1 shower scrunchie thingy - 0.99
1 bar pears soap - 1.09
1 thorntons orange cakey things - 2.49
1 thorntons humbugs - ??0.99
1 thorntons choc covered orange bites - 1.19
1 herb de provence pate - 2.49
1 spicy orange chutney - 2.99
1 pack charcoal?? biscuits for cheese - 1.99

It has now been taken to local florists (she is the mum of a friend of mine) to be cellophaned and ribboned!!!

Will post a picture when done.

I feel sooo proud.....:D
Am definately inspired to do this again for christmas (but on a smaller scale)
Will start hunting for bargains now
