    Bought these silver boxes in Home Bargains today - 6 boxes for £1.99. The largest is like a big shoe box size...

    They are branded Hallmark and are fab quality!

    Home Bargains also had sets of 4 square wicker baskets for £4.99 (quite large).
    There great

  • I made up my hamper for my friend and have taken a piccie but as per usual have no idea where the relevant cable etc are.
    I put in...
    >3 small packets dried fruit 25p each home bargains
    >Supercook Sugar strands, hundreds and thousands, sugar flowers, silver balls- cheap in tesco ages ago, about 50p for all
    > Supercook muffin cases 25p (see above)
    > Supercook vanilla and orange essences about 60p for both
    > Wooden utensils 79p home bargains
    > silicone muffin tray £1.99
    > Little cook book 50p
    > mini chocolate calendar £1.25
    > handmade felt gingerbread man (my hand is killing today from sewing!)
    > 6 creme eggs in egg box £1.50
    > Bar of dark orange chocolate 50p home bargains

    It all looks pretty cute in the basket and then I sewed a tag with a little cupcake on it and her name. Will do my best to get a pic on here as I think it is the nicest looking of my hampers so far
    Love to all

    I bought my ds (12) I am the stig t shirt from the motorshow last year he loves it, he got lots of attention in london when he wore it aswell, lots of lads asking where he got it from. Im sure the recipients of the top gear hampers will love them too.

LOL!!! Bit of a long trip to go JUST for Home Bargains - 2.5hrs & prob not very MSE considering cost of petrol LOL!! Will deffo combine during a visit sometime!
