wow thats great- well done rainmac the prices are excellent too.

wow all the hampers are fab - love 'em!

p.s. does it annoy anyone else that the free name a star certificates have 'free name a star' at the top of the certificate? or is it just me? lol

Beki you could pay to have it removed. or if you are clever enough to use something like photoshop you could remove it yourself. Not sure how much it was but I think Rainmac paid a couple of £ to have hers removed. I could be wrong though.

Rainmac again absolutely stunning.

Cookiedough them socks look fab! I want some

... wonder if they come small enough for my little girly ... my son could probably get away with them but I struggle to find cute things for my little girly. I can see I will be adding to the hampers here

Rainmac - love the hamper................now I wish I'd thought of that myself................lol Still, we do always get extra treats for ourselves - normally OH thinks of something..............lol

I've got Free Name a Star on my Star Certificate but I'm not that bothered really. It;s a sort of novelty pressie for baby grandson..........anyway, this year is one of those christmases where price matters a lot -my son knows that so no-ones going to be offended by the fact it was a freebie.

Went to our local pound shop today after work and picked up a christmas cushion cover, it is made of fleecy material with santa on it. I wanted it for an xms eve hamper for a friends little girl. Whilst walking about shops had a brainwave and went back for another, then went to primark and picked up a lovely deep red throw for £2. I am going to applique one of cushion cover panels onto fleece to make an xmas throw with matching cushion. Think little one will love to snuggle on sofa under it on xmas eve.
Will post a picture later.

well done on the lovely xmas hamper rainmac . I sorted out what was going in mine today still a couple of things missing. I also tried to fit it in basket i had and the puzzle didn`t fit

.

So i`m going to line our linen basket white one with red fleece and tuck everything inside.

I was going to add some applique to my fleece sophiesmum but more iron on but does that need a high heat and will ruin fleece.

Love your hamper rainmac I hope mine looks as good as yours - I'll be nipping into Primark tomorrow lunchtime I think the Pj's sounds fab! It's so handy working close to my local town centre! I've got a list as long as my arm for 2morrow!
Can I ask where you got your cellophane was it Flower Hour? I was going to keep all my hampers and take to the florist but It's probably cheaper buying it by the roll I assume?

I would try a bit first, and make sure you use a cloth in between to stop it going shiny.
