    In the basket on the left I put a teddy which is holding a heart with "MUM" on it, body wash, body lotion, bath scrunchie, wash mitt ,a flower for decoration and 3 bars of normal family soap which I rewrapped using 3 coloured tissue paper and then tied them together with a bow.

    In the basket on the right I put identical items but instead of body wash and body lotion I put in body spray. :D
  • It looks lovely! What baskets did you use, are they the ones from Ikea?

    Your baskets look really good, I would love to receive something like that as a mother's day present.

    The square basket was from Ikea - £2.49 for 4. I worked out that the smallest basket was 25p, next one worked out 50p, then 75p and the largest basket £1. I used the 75p one. The basket with the hoop handle I bought from a charity shop. I bought 2 for 75p. :D

    I am glad you liked them.

    Your baskets look great. i did a basket up for my mum aswell with No7 stuff that i have got with the vouchers. I alos bought some wooden roses which she thought were great. I got them off a market stall and they only cost me £1.00 for 10 :)

    Hi Purdy

    I loved the baskets you made up for Mothering Sunday and it has given me the idea to make some up for my kids for Easter.

    I was just wondering where you got the paper and ribbons that are wrapped around the baskets?
