    Try your local florists, in Doncaster we have a wholesale florists who stock different size rolls. I bought one for £10 but I think it will last forever. If you lived near me you could have some.

    Florists' are the best - I got a huge roll for £20 last week from my local florist :) It will last me until eternity!!! Can also buy it by the metre if you only have a few bits to wrap.

    HTH

    Edit: flourgirl got there first :rolleyes:

    You could also use clingfilm and use a hairdryer on it to shrink it to fit tightly around your basket.

    Just got some from a friend who picked it up in Ikea for me. It has either red or purple cherubs on it. Ideal for xmas. Think it was about £1.50 a roll but not sure. It is mentioned on another thread somewhere! I think it will look fab for present wrapping.
    I will be rich :rotfl:
