    Thanks!! On some of them I might've spent a bit more than I planned to but thats mainly cos its the first time I've done them (got a bit carried away!!) plus I only decided last week to do hampers so I haven't been able to look out all year for bargains etc - next year I'll start much earlier and I hope to get my baskets for much less - most of them have cost me about £4 this year and I'd prefer to spend less on them!! Loving doing this though - all my family and friends are gonna get them every year now!! LOL!! they'll be sick of flannels!!! LOL! gonna try and make some flannel muffins tomorrow!!!

    The first one is for a friend's son's 18th on Sunday - 4 bottles of beer and a tube of 18 £1.00 coins. It only cost me the £18 since my mum gave me the beer.

    The second one is a movie hamper and contains:

    Basket - £1 Poundland
    Mama Mia DVD - £7 Asda (first day out)
    Snowman DVD - £3 Tesco
    Bag of popcorn at the bottom - free had already
    Malteasers - £1 Tesco
    Areo Bag - £1 Tesco
    2 Bottles of Beer - £1.50 Asda (split a 4 pack)
    Cruchie/Flake/Caramel - £1 local shop

    Total: £15.50 - had a budget of £20 so very pleased to come in under budget.

    Hi - got my cellophane from Flowerhour on Ebay - seem to be the cheapest to be honest - I actually bought 4 rolls of 10m each and the prices ranged from £2.49 - £3.25 a roll so worked out on average about 30p a metre which seems to be pretty good price. Think 40m should last me a while although I have got about 20 hampers to do!!!!
