    Not wrapped as I've run out of cello but here's my ice cream hamper.
    100_0284.jpg

    The bowl was from morrisons, it's got pics of santas and reindeers and snowmen round it.
    The sundae glass 10p from Asda way back in their sale (bought a whole bag full)
    Little tubs 39p each filled them with M&M's, choc drops, chopped nuts, mini marshmellows and jelly beans.
    2 flakes in the glass, a long spoon and some of those long choc wafer sticks for ice cream and 2 candy canes.
    Fan wafers, 2 sauces at the back, an ice cream scoop and just in front of that is a pack of 4 mixed sprinkles - you can just see the blue lid.
    I filled the whole bowl with silver shiny paper which I painstakingly shredded.

    Looks fab! Just wondering where you got the moneybox from if you don't mind me asking?
  • Woolworths, was very lucky shelf marked up at £3.99 but this had no code on so the s.a let me have it for £1 !! It is a plain tin with a slot on the top and 2 keys.
