    Melon your little princess is adorable :D I would love to get a fairy outfit for my little one for christmas but everywhere seems to sell them for age 3 and up! Any ideas where to look for a smaller size?

    I got it form woolworths! Also got her a white angel outfit in there for Christmas photos lol! They were buy one get one half price at the time.

    Hers is 12-18 months, they're quite small fitting tbh - she's 9 months (and in 9-12m clothes).

    I finally had a go at putting a hamper together tonight, it looked ok until I tried to wrap it...I've put it in wrapping paper first as its going have to be delivered well before Christmas, but I'm having a complete nightmare with the cellophane, however I try it looks a disaster! :eek: I've seen some pics on here of totally brilliantly wrapped ones!! If anyone has got any advice, I'd be very grateful...!

    This thread has really inspired me im definately going to make some for the family this year. Ive had an idea about the baskets for those who find the wrapping and celophane difficult to handle, in my town there is a cheap card shop i think its called the card factory and they have flat pack gift boxes at around 99p for a decent sized box these come in all sorts of colours including shiny red and gold for the festive season all u have to do is pop them out into shape and they fasten up at the top too, could even add ribbon and bows if u liked hope that helps someone :D
