    I'd forgotten how hard it was to wrap round hat boxes :o so I've left that for now ;) I think it came in at under £15.

    TLP - lovely basket and great budgeting skills :)

    anybunny - Had to zoom right in to see it, but having seen it I'm sure your sister will love it. I would :)

    Well I feel bereft! Tree went up today, all presents wrapped, cards written and posted. Just my sisters "Yorkshire" themed hamper to wrap (waiting til I can nip into town and buy her a "learn to speak Yorkshire" book I saw)

    Guess I will just have to live vicariously through you all!! :rotfl:

    Lovely hampers all. Well done! :T

    Hi all - well I have prepared a sweetie box for xmas for an 8 year old boy to go in a Dr Who themed hamper - Really pleased with how it turned out. My kids both want one, funnily enough....;) that might already be in the plan. I decided to wrap some of the sweeties in very thin food bags to help keep them fresh having read some peoples comments about the sweets going sticky etc1!
