Hi everyone, I hope you can help me.
I've accumulated a lot of Boots goodies from their wonderful offers and since my grandma and my stepmother both have birthdays in March I thought I'd make up gift baskets for them. But I can't find any suitable baskets. Yesterday I tried woolies, poundland and wilkinsons but there was nothing at all suitable - the only baskets I found were massive. I know other people on here have made gift baskets, so I was wondering where you found suitable baskets from. Any ideas gratefully received.
Also, can anyone recommend a good place to get cellophane from?
Thanks very much, Susie.

I was in Asda today and they had dark wicker type baskets with a cotton liner - pack of 4 in varying sizes reduced from £15 to £7.50If you think you are too small to make a difference, try getting in bed with a mosquito!0

No, I was just looking around my town. I'll try to take a trip to Ikea one night this week. Thanks0

Ooh even better - Asda's even closer to me. Thanks Techno.0

I've been busy making up hampers from Boots goodies too. I couldn't find any baskets that were reasonably priced. My solution was to cover cardboard boxes from Lidl (small fruit and veg ones) with some of my stock of wrapping paper. I''ve then put shredded paper in the bottom and then arranged the presents. They look fab too - everyone has gushed over them so far

Hi
i make loads of gift baskets - here is some ideas
i have got some on ebay 12" round equivalent of £1.19 each
some smaller ones on ebay with handles equivalent of £1.25 each
some great ones at car boot sales only pennies
wooden trays in woolies just now with sides reduced from £10 to £5 to £3
or you dont even have to use baskets - i did a chinese cookery one and used a wok £5 in woolies
or a cheap holiday wicker bag a few pounds in the likes of primark makes a good basket and the person also has a bag to use on holiday
also au naturel and instore do some great baskets slightly more expensive but definately worth it
hope that helps0
