Finished Baskets - Part 2

Thats good Rusty. Nice when its nearly all done. I havent much to do now, just OH and his family but letting him buy their presents. Are you finding it hard to find places to store it all though, I know I am, have baskets everywhere. Thing is you cant stack things on top of them so need plenty of space.

I normally only just start to buy presents this time of year so for me this is a major accomplishment OH has been fantastic though and not complained about any of it and has even helped with suggestions/opinions. I have to be honest though OH tells me to shove everything in his office so that he can't get in there then I have to help him put it all in the loft so we have been quite lucky and as of last night I have my wardrobe back :rotfl:

Rinroo, I don't want to seem like a nag cos I know you've already been asked but I would also like to know where you got your boxes from?

Kandipandi, I also really like your black and white box, where is it from?

Great hampers everyone! I'm so excited to start mine, just need some containers and I'm away!

Thanks Miss Bailey - it is from B&M Bargains - it was 2 for £5 and they are quite big.

rufusd!!!2 - no - haven't got any curling ribbon.........was trying to manage with what I'd got. Local florist has the big bows she''ll sell me and she's having some christmas cello in so might end up getting some of that.
I think at the minute they look so awful as all the contents inside can be seen and as one is for my teenage grandaughter I want her to have more of a surprise. The other is for my son's girlfriend.

It's a case of either using what I've got and covering the basket over and adding a ribbon or getting more cello and ribbon.

Mary what about unwrapping your hamper and covering the contents or the whole hamper with tissue paper first then wrap over the top using the clear cello - will work out cheaper than replacing all the cello, and it looks lovely?

Hi, somebody posted on here a while ago about a clapperboard in Asda, where are they I have walked and walked the store and cant seem to find it.

Kandi - did think about that................been upstairs disappearing under a heap of bits of purple cello I'd had with bunches of flowers - none of them big enough.......tried covering grandaughters hamper over with it and it looked even worse..........reindeers head looked like some sort of monster............lol
So, gave up on that, then wondered about wrapping bits individually in the purple cello then putting the clear cellophane back on....then tried wrapping in just over the top and that looked awful as well so didn't get any further..............lol Wouldn't be so bad if they were being given on Christmas day but two weeks before and she''ll know what she's got, grandson's is all in a shoe box.............which I've had to re-arrange yet again to get my pot of gold in............lol
Haven't got any spare paper other than this blessed coloured cellophane otherwise I'd try with that. Bought some foil paper the other day to wrap some other stuff up in and no good trying with that as I don't think it will work. I got to be the world worst wrapper..............lol
Yet when I did MIL's for her birthday I thought it looked lovely.........maybe its just me having minor panic.................:rotfl:
