hamper wrapping

icecubequeen

Right I'm taking the plunge and gonna start buying bits to wrap my hampers with, but dunno where to start?

Have started to look on ebay for rolls of cellophane, ribbons, bows etc, but not sure which is the best to buy for quality/value for money/reliable seller.

Can you guys suggest where to start? What I need for basic hamper wrapping and where is the best place to buy.

Thankies in advance!

As Ellionic said a lot of people use the above ebay seller, they also have a website off ebay https://www.flowerhour.co.uk

I personally don't use them but I know plenty of people who will recommend them

I bought mine from them also and they are good. I was lucky and bought some nice Christmas wrap that was at a special price so only paid around £3 inc postage. Sadly I only bought one and now they have all gone!!!

I too have used nickschicks/ Flower Hour on ebay for cellophane and pull bows. Prices are reasonable and goods usually arrive quite quickly. I think they have some advice that you can access from their ebay shop homepage about wrapping hampers etc that you may find useful.

I tend to use cellophane and then add a pull bow to secure the cellophane and to look pretty of course! To save money I have left the pull bow off some parcels and just used curling ribbon. It still does the job of securing the cello and still looks pretty!

I know Hobbycraft sell cellophane, bows and curling ribbon. Not sure about prices as haven't bought from there.

Good luck

In the past I've cheated and used these bags from lakeland

Not amazingly cheap (but I'm a sucker for giftwrap stuff), but they are really big, and you actually get 8 bags (not 4 as it says), you get 4 coloured and 4 clear 'overbags', but I just used them as 8 seperate bags.

I use http://stores.ebay.co.uk/PLENTY-FLOWERS-PLUS_W0QQsspagenameZL2222QQtZkm for my cellophane and pull bows. Great delivery time and does good multiple postage discount.

Have also used flower hour though and they are also good. But I prefer the bows at the first one

I got my cellophane from a local art shop last year. It was perfect and quite reasonably priced. Can't remember exactly but sure I only paid about £2 and that did two really big hampers. Worth a look if you have somewhere nearby - plus no postage costs!

Got my order from Flowerhour today, lots of ribbon, bows, tissue paper and 120m of cellophane :eek: think I went OTT on the cellophane lol Guess it was a bargain in the long run as it will keep me going for years! lol

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated! xxx

I'm waiting for my order to arrive from Flower Hour. I'm all excited about wrapping the hampers, even though everyone at work told me I am completely crazy for getting excited about Christmas in November (it's a good thing I didn't let on I'd been buying presents all year! lol)
