    Gorgeous basket of gardening goodies, can I please ask where you got the scarecrow, he is fab :D

    Hi rainmac, thank you! He came from a little garden centre at the end of the summer when they were selling off all the gardening goodies, think he was about £2.50. I've just googled the garden centre to see if there are any other around the country but it seems to be a one off. I'm in the south west...

    I did find this one on ebay tho..! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Scarecrow-ornament-toy_W0QQitemZ280290096114QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Home_Garden_Decorative_Accents_LE?hash=item280290096114&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

    Where is the best place to ask for suggestions for hamper contents for particular people? I don't want to start up a new thread and clutter up the board!

    How about some elderflower wine as an alternative to alcohol, It's alchol free and really tasty.
    Thats a great idea, thanks!
