    You could make one for me if you like - I like chocolate, chocolate and err, chocolate ;)

    That's a coincidence-so do I!

    Love the baskets from Morrisons. Will have to see if I can find them. Have already started planning hampers for all the birthdays I can think of this year. Got lots of goodies in the Boots sale.

    any ideas for "winter warmer" for D-I-L? so far got a white furry hot water bottle cover. have done an "all things lavender" for other D-I-L and working on "something green " for no1 son.will hav e to learn how to do piccies, thanks for a brilliant thread.

    For your winter warmer hamper how about one of these pot stands (or could do the same but make them smaller for coasters)... http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=161

    Snowman soup... http://www.essentialpackagingstore.com/projects/snowmansoup.php

    Are these Xmas gift ideas? For the 'something green' how about one of these... http://www.thelittlechristmastreecompany.co.uk/ordernow.htm

    HTH :D

    Brillant baskets everyone. Well done. Just one question where do you get the cellophane from?

    You can buy it from a florist or Hobbycraft or ebay has loads of it :D

    Hmm... I think there has to be drink and mug in there for warming up, maybe a mix to make hot chocolate like the snowman soup suggestion, or a little bottle of wine and the other bits to make some mulled wine. What about making/buying a scarf and writing down some 'heart-warming' sentiments?
