  • Hi there!

    New to all this hampering malarky, but just wanted to show you my very first attempt! This is what I gave my SIL for her birthday last week:

    003.jpg

    Elle makeup bag set - £4 Ministry of Deals (came delivered in the tray this is all in, just wrapped it in shiny pink paper)

    Spa body lotion, shower gel & bath bomb - £2 from bootfair and came in a little plastic bath with teddy that i've saved for Xmas.

    Foot gel & lotion - 50p from bootfair

    Avon lip plump gloss in nude - £1 Avon clearance (advantage of being a rep!)

    Virgin Vie Dream Lashes Mascara - £2.50 (offer from the grabbit board, had to pay for P&P only - worth £12.50 I think!)

    Truffles - £free as bought for me for my bday but never opened them.

    Total - £10 + sellophane.

    Overall quite happy with my first attempt but it was harder to wrap than I imagined :rotfl:
