I do the same . We went shopping today to a large shopping centre and the OH said what are we here for as you've already bought everything and I said I just want a look at what's about. I saw so many things and just kept thinking how expensive everything was :rolleyes: Even after being to the shops I am very, very happy with what I've got/made/put together for everyone. I've got a lot more for my money doing it the way I have

I agree.........I am a bit limited in funds this Christmas because Im paying off tons of post divorce debt, but thanks to this thread Ive made my budget go a long way. Not only that, but for the first time in years Ive really enjoyed putting my pressies together and I feel really chuffed with what Ive got for people. I guess Ive realised that you dont need to chuck loads on a credit card to make Christmas meaningful.

Everyone has done some fabulous hampers, I've still only managed one so far but at least I've now managed to wrap it! It took several attempts to get it looking half decent! I couldn't decide between wrapping paper or tissue paper, cellophane over or under the paper etc etc...!

Unwrapped (which I have posted before somewhere..)



And wrapped at last!

Hi guys,

All of your hampers look great! I'm making some this year but have no idea how much cellophane I should order. I know it's difficult to say, as it depends on the size of the baskets, but could anyone tell me how much use they could get out of 5m/10m/20m rolls? Really have no clue at all at the moment.

I've been the BBC good food show today and got a set of 5 hamper baskets for a tenner. Very chuffed:j :j 2 of the baskets are huge too!

i already have most of the contents, plus bought some posh chocs and biscuits today, so i'll post some pics once i've filled the baskets :beer:
