instead of buying hampers I was thinking about buying gift boxes and put little things in there like DVD, cd, hat, gloves eg. got 6 giftboxes which are hardwearing so could be reused for other uses. Do you think that is a good. idea??? also make the retro boxes and put them in the box?

    My nieces got their 'hampers' in boxes. Pop-together video boxes in pink from Poundstretchers. £2 each and 3 for 2!

    There is a pic on the finished hamper thread I'm sure.
