Finished Baskets - Part 2

savingholmes

Just caught up again on nearly a week's worth of posts. The hampers look lovely as always. I particularly like the way the black and white box was wrapped I thought it looked really stylish

* Mary - stop worrying - it really is the thought that counts! And if anyone doesn't feel that way - they are lucky to get anything anyway!:rotfl:
* Rusty hope your DD is fully recovered.
* Rainmac - hope everything is okay with you and your family too

I gave my MIL a hamper for her birthday (it was the natural coloured one I did) - with a personalised photo calendar and photo dome - she was thrilled to bits and choking up with tears she was so touched. :j So that's the best response I've ever got from her for any pressie regardless of price! She was also really impressed with the calorie free cupcake!!!

She is going to give me the basket back and gave me the cello back. I wouldn't have thought of the photo dome or calendar without this site so thanks again :T

Can I add that poundstretcher are selling something called Lameta its basically shredded plastic stuff in strips lol. Its very pretty and shiny thought it might look good on some of the basketts but dnt quote me on it lol.

savingholmes - I won't worry no more.............promise. I know grandaughter and sons girlfriend will be thrilled -they always are no matter what I give them................think I was just having 'one of those days'..................lol

Glad MIL loved the hamper.............can't think what the photo dome was though.........I must have seen it but can't remember where.
I know I was going to use a square jare (short dumpy one) as a paperweight and put photos of the family around the sides .............never did get around to it so thats another for my 'next year' list

Not all of them! only some of them. We still have Au naturale here in freezing Blyth, and I know of a couple of others who are still A/N

the Au Naturale in Durham became b & m but the transaction on my bank statement was still for A N

Hello everyone! Tomorrow is the big shopping day tomorrow! woohoo!

My Godson is going with me (we are meeting my friend and her toddler from London) and he is poorly at the moment , chest infection and dry sore eyes , so he is feeling better tonught (on antibitotics) but if he feels rough tomorrow i take him back home , its not fair on him to be out shopping whilst ill (believe it or not he loves shopping especially in the early learning centre where get gets to try out all the new cool toys lol)

Any tips on bargian hunting tomorrow:?

Lovely hampers everyone!

Just wanted to say that Ethel Austin has these boxes too, I got the reindeer one yesterday to make a hamper for my brother - and they were doing a 20% off everything day too! If only I hadn't just bought two other more expensive boxes in the store next door lol.

[snipped] I got the boxes from Au Natural they were £5 but 3 for 2. I think Au natural only have stores up north, though not certain.

They do reindeer ones too, which i have for my dads hamper

Vicky have you found them yet?

Nope! Been mad busy today and we are tomorrow too - it's the Victorian Fayre and loads of friends or family are appearing out of the woodwork! I'm far too tired for it all, it's really too much for me. Sunday is my day of rest so will ask Shaun to scour the place!

She buys for my children and vice versa (her eldest and my youngest have been friends from birth) Will just keep telling OH that "I can't have too many shoes and handbags"!!! Now I'm in a wheelchair, I can wear high heels, so the shoe world is my oyster lol!!!

Hope you're ok too. Yes it is a bummer, but we just have to get on with it, don't we? Life's too short etc etc lol!
