I'm just packing my christmas bits into my suitcase, so I can enjoy the weekend without getting too stressed (:rolleyes: )and I've got WAY too much stuff! :eek: Obviously I haven't made up the hampers that I'm taking with me, and I am quite a good packer (thanks mum! An excellent skill to pass on to me), but I have a HUGE suitcase almost filled with pressies. And I haven't even started packing toiletries or clothes yet...LOL!
DH will have to bring the medium size suitcase with the clothes and my pressies from him in, and even then I think I'm going to struggle. This is one of the times I wish I could drive. I'm dreading lugging this huge case across London and onto the train. I'll probably end up putting my back out again.
I even thought ahead and have some stuff delivered straight to my family, and took some bits down last visit. Still, Christmas Day will be far better than if I'd just bought everyone gift vouchers.:rudolf:

I got baskets from Wilkinsons this afternoon and cellophane from the florists. :j :j :j Thanks everyone for your help. I've only had time for a quick flick through the last few pages but the pictures all look fantastic. Quite excited now about getting mine done.

Okay lovely ladies, I need your help (again) please!

So far I've got my uncle some of the tea sample tins from teapigs.co.uk like the ones here http://www.teapigs.co.uk/product/Tea/Black-tea/english+breakfast+tea as he likes to try different teas. I've also got him a very nice Starbucks insulated cup as he travels alot but would like to get something else to go with it, and ideally find something useful to put it in. I can't honestly see him re-using a basket, or even a bag-for-life type thing. Has anyone got any innovative ideas?

Thank you in advance.

maria - thanks for throwing me into a panic.................lol My hampers are done -well last one will be when I get the cellophane round it and a bow.
Other pressies I need wrapping paper -they're just odds and ends I get for people and I've got a surplus of stuff so I've a bit for next year already...lol:j

gotitspendit - love the hamper -where did you get the brown check lined hamper ? It's lovely:T

bunbun - super hamper and good prices:T

junior - well done on getting a part time job..............:T



Might have got my last hamper done had it not been for OH losing the lens to his already damaged specs ..............got appointment for him at specsavers 20 miles away..............he daren't drive and the only bus that'll get him there in time leaves here at 7.30am :eek: His appt. is 10.40am !!! Still, least he should come home with specs he can see out of and that aren't held together with paper clips !! Told him he should have gone on Monday -now he wishes he had.
On top of that it seemed to take forever to activate new credit card then next door neighbours daughter had a crisis with a friend who had got somewhat drunk !! :eek: What a carry on..............lol

Hiya everyone, have to say that making hampers for people is a genius idea! I'm a newbie to this board and boy do i wish i'd found it months ago. I've got loads of ideas for next xmas already and cant wait to get started (sad i know!)
I've not had chance to read through all of this thread, i've just finished looking at everyone fab photos and was wondering where's the best place people have found to buy the baskets from? I've got a few unused gift boxes, but i really like the wicker style ones. I dare say this has already been anwered during this thread, so i'll start reading through.

Got about another 6 tomorrow!!! Plus I need to make another door hanger!! On the homestretch I think - at least everything is bought just need to put it all together!!! My house looks like a hamper shop!!! There are hampers in the box room, hampers in the spare room, hampers in the lounge, and hampers in the dining room ha ha ha!!! Plus there are gift tags printed out everywhere!!!
