Decided to get aunt and uncles basket finished tonight.
Couldn't decide what else to put in but had a rummage in storecupboard and found some double choc cookies and some cracked pepper and sea salt crackers which i thought would look okay without the boxes.

These are contents I ended up with;


cookies and crackers
Home made orange marmalade
HM lemon marmalade
HM blackberry and apple jam
HM rhubarb jam
HM green tomato chutney
(last three made with home grown produce in summer:D )

Plus litre bottle of Grouse whisky which I won in raffle at work:D and happens to be their favourite.

I used a gift box for whisky that was bought in boxing day sales 60p and used brown parcel paper and ribbon to prettify the jars of preserves.:D

Arranged them all in the basket (recycled) with straw packing (recycled)


Lastly packaged with cellophane - the gift tag was removed from the bottle box:D
I am very happy with the result:j and hardly cost anything:D

Have made this for a friend for christmas. She went to the horse racing earlier this year and loved it so have bought a "night at home horse racing dvd game" with pretend money to bet with and other bits from carboot for a £1. Box was bashed a bit but stuff had never been used and I am really pleased with how it looks in the hamper. Have added some drinks from HomeBargains and some nibbles and chocs from Tescos. Also a cuddly horse originally from M+S from charity shop for 50p!

I have made these for friends at work using a square shaped vase from Tesco sale. Think they were just under £2. Used werthers, 2 lots of goldy coloured roses chocolates from a local cheap shop and tescos own dairy toffees in shiny gold wrapper. Am going to attach a label with poem on and a scratchcard.
