vicky - lovely hamper :T What sort of cellophane did you use ? I'm battling with my two as I don't really want the contents to be seen till Christmas Day and I'm delivering them next week.

What i have done is put one small bit of wrapping paper drapped over the basket and contents then celloed it , that way they can tell its a hamper but the contents disguised until they can open it! or just wrap the whole thing..

Thanks junior - might just do that. I've been messing about with some bits of purple cellophane I'd got and trying to wrap that over and it doesn't look quite right. Maybe with a proper 'hamper' type wrapping it'll do the trick.

Hi all I dont know if its been suggested earlier but I have bought a silicone ice cube tray from Home and Bargain in fruit shapes, (99p) and been using the chocolate slab recipe to pour chocolate into the holes. Setting the chocolate for 15mins in freezer and then wrapping them in cellophane. Then using a small piece of coloured netting (Ikea £1.39 net panel) to wrap the outside. Its costing about 35p per gift but looks really good and DD1 friends are loving them as gifts.

Just posted this on the Grabbit board. Home Bargains had baskets in, they called them hamper baskets and they are the same as this one. They were selling them for £2.49
