Super hampers all of you. :T
I just need to sort out something to put ex foster girls OH's bits in.........and ex foster ladt...thinking they may just have a silver gift bag each.......given up looking around for boxes.
Walked round woolworths - very depressing, shelves getting emptied and not much I wanted except couple of little tool box compartment things for retro sweet box. Doing one for ex foster girls OH plus a few other bits.......not sure what yet.........have to plough through the spare room and see whats left...............lol

Not a hamper question but...

I am picking up a secret santa present for a friend who's having some problems at the moment (so he's not in the mood for presents), he needs to buy for a lady who likes gardening, dogs, films... she's about 35 I think.

Budget is £5 - any ideas?!

Cellophane - I got mine from eBay from a local lady....it may be worth asking your local florist, as I believe this is where the eBayer sourced it from....

Lovely hampers everyone.

vicky your hampers are fantastic! I don't know if I dare make hampers for your two now as my wrapping is nowhere near as good as yours!
I can't believe your cousins are now 10 and 7!

I agree with Ruth, I did my CBT in June, and it was perfect. Dry and warm, but not too hot. If OH does it in Feb or March, he'll be so busy worrying about his cold extremities, he'll never master a U-turn!

Thankyou, I have decided to opt for the money, but will leave it out of the box and put it away somewhere safe but explain that the money is there for it. I have started to make a voucher for him but struggling to find the right words, I have an image of a lovely R1 and then the company logo of the people who will do the CBT course and then some other words but it doesn't look right! I have a week to rectify the problem :rotfl:

Thanks Rainmac, what about one of the little teddies from asda? they are £1 and are about 4inches high? (possibly 6 inches!) they are cute though and quite cheap?? that just came to me :rotfl:

I think its just a shock as I only work 4 hours a week and he works 45 ... he can always find work just a bit harder now the petrol prices are dropping and the price of a barrel of oil is low! plus he doesn't want to have to work away again so fingers crossed!

Soft toy would be perfect, will try and get to Asda before Tuesday - thanks Rusty
