Are you going to call it "Tea" now jinty? :rotfl: (Sorry, couldn't resist - but it's annoying isn't it? I'd rather give something away than break it )

In a shoe box? You're organised

I'd love to do a sock monkey too, but even though rainmac kindly started me off with help in making a cross-stitch coaster, I still can't understand the instructions! :rotfl:

You should have said and I could help with some explaining - please shout if you need some help

Finally had some time to make up a couple more 'hampers'. The first one is for a friend's son's 18th on Sunday - 4 bottles of beer and a tube of 18 £1.00 coins. It only cost me the £18 since my mum gave me the beer.



The second one is a movie hamper and contains:

Basket - £1 Poundland
Mama Mia DVD - £7 Asda (first day out)
Snowman DVD - £3 Tesco
Bag of popcorn at the bottom - free had already
Malteasers - £1 Tesco
Areo Bag - £1 Tesco
2 Bottles of Beer - £1.50 Asda (split a 4 pack)
Cruchie/Flake/Caramel - £1 local shop

Total: £15.50 - had a budget of £20 so very pleased to come in under budget.

I have just been looking at some of the pics on the photo thread and can I ask where did some of you get the coloursed boxes with black areas on to write on? One of these would be idea for a hamper I want to do at xmas.
Can anyone let me know?
Cheers!

I think the ones you mean are from Matalan, and I think that people are having difficulty finding them now as they have been around for a while.

Hi
We have them in our QD's store, but in previous post someone has mentioned Matalan.

Hi Where did you order the cellophane and cellophane bags from please, if you don't mind me asking. I went to hobbycraft on Friday and they have stopped doing 20m of spotted cellophane, so am on the lookout for a new supplier.

Thanks

Hi - got my cellophane from Flowerhour on Ebay - seem to be the cheapest to be honest - I actually bought 4 rolls of 10m each and the prices ranged from £2.49 - £3.25 a roll so worked out on average about 30p a metre which seems to be pretty good price. Think 40m should last me a while although I have got about 20 hampers to do!!!!

Loving that pink jute bag - where did you get it and how much was it please?

I got it from here http://www.thegoodbagco.com/. In fact I bought quite a few:o ! They are really good quality. £3.50 each plus 40p P+P.
