Hampers are looking great everyone!
Has anyone seen jute bags around lately? I want to make up some organic hampers and those jute shopping bags would be ideal but having a hard time finding ones that don't have branding all over it. TIA.

Would this be too small? http://www.tickseed.co.uk/small-cotton-bag-11268-0.html

Hello everyone
Can you give me your honest opinion on these please, the first gift is just a cup filled with sweets and a snowman soup and a flannel yule log, I've made 6 of these for my DS's nursery teachers, they've cost me about £1.20 to make so I'm really pleased!
the 2nd is my first attempt at the pot's of gold, I'm having a tea at mine on boxing day so thought I would make one for everyone.

These look great, wish I was one of your DS's teachers!!!!!!:j

Its from Firebox.com quite pricey at £14.99 but i used a £5 discount voucher from HUKD to bring it in a little cheaper.

Its a wee bit pricey, but perfect for caravanners and worth it because its so unusual! Thanks!

Not sure if you are near a hobbycraft, but they were selling them for 99p each on Friday when I went to my nearest one (35 miles away :eek:)

They were plain callico, I think - creamy colour.

Anyone have any ideas what to put in a hamper for a vegetarian who is also allergic to wheat and doesn't like alcohol? I want to make the effort but am stumped about where to even start!
