Lol....well we go through loads of smellies every year, new shampoos we test and compare results with each other, the online sale sounds excellent, they accept paypal now, dont they? Mmmmm sounding even better, as all kids unwanted toys get put on ebay just before xmas, and i keep the money that we have made in my paypal account, and now my wee brain is going on overload tee hee.....sell unwanted things before xmas keep money to buy things from boots online in jan!!!!! I love this mse!!!!!

Yu know when you have made your hampers do you put christmas paper over the top too or just leave as they are?

Also where do you hide them???

Well I decided to go all out as my little sister are twins and it was their 18th birthday and they are both now leaving home to go to uni so it was a multi purpose kinda gift!

I put some uni essentials in underneath, a bath sheet (bargain from kristy towels) box chocs, umberella, pen & notebook, variety of boots gift sets, shampoos, shower gels, photo album (from boots) filled with family pics, sun stuff for their upcoming hols abroad, various gwps, a teddy with 18, a glass with 18, cosmetic bag (free NC one), various NO7 cosmetics I got with the last printable £5 off voucher.

I didnt keep a total of how much the RRP would be, I will do in future tho but I know that each basket cost me £35 which included £4.99 for the baskets, which are washing baskets hope they come in handy at uni!!!

My sisters were really pleased.

At xmas I do it slightly different, I either put tissue paper round it first before the cellohane so it isnt see through, or I wrap the items individually before placeing them in basket and then wrap with cellophane, or I use layers of xmas paper/tissue paper to hide items and then put shredded paper on top and pop the cards on top or maybe a photo in a frame so there is something nice to see.

Or maybe one item on display and the rest hidden.

Hiding them can be a problem, those were just sat in my lounge after they were done! I wouldnt want the baskets damaged so would make them as close to giving them as possible, I hope to make mine end on nov and get them handed out start Dec. I am mainly going to be using baskets the same size as the ones free with huggies as Tesco, also will be buying the sellophane gift bags and will pop in a few things, maybe a shampoo, conditioner and soap set or something, great for teacher gifts or raffle prizes or prezzies for not so close relatives, looks great with some curling ribbon and maybe a fac cloth in a muffin case made to look like a cupcake!
