How do you present you hampers??
I am making a number of hampers this year. For my sister who is expecting a baby in January, for my niece and several others. My question is - after you have covered them in cellophane, do you wrap them again in wrapping paper? Or do you just wrap them in paper to start with? I am not sure the best way to go about it!!
