    thevicstar sorry this is off topic but your easter smiley gave me a chuckle lol. It looked rather rude when I did not look at it properly.

    ZLS - only just noticed it myself! :rotfl: He looks to be a very happy little crafter!:eek:

    Popkins - Love Mabel! :T Must have a go at one of those!

    Brilliant suggestions guys - im gonna scribble them all down - I think I'll do a hamper (a laundry basket) with cleaning/essentials in and another one with first night stuff in - wine, takeaway voucher etc.

    If you come up with anything ill add it to my list - Im excited again as since christmas I have been a bit gutted that I have had nothing to make.

    Cumbrian.. Im glad you made the movie hampers, mine went down so well and its lovely to have made someting with a bit of thought rather than just bunging a tenner in a card.

    Looking forward to seeing your pictures - dont forget :)

  • Thought this might be of interest to those making hampers. I bought these baskets today in Morrison's for under £8:

  • OH is in bed so I took the opportunity to pack up his hampers for his birthday which is Monday.

    Here is my top gear hamper ... please don't ask me to work out prices as I went well over budget on this one but I don't care cause he is quite down at the minute and worth every penny. (this is from the children)
    Contents
    I am the Stig t shirt - Play.com
    2 x My dad is the stig Tshirts (for the kids) - Ebay
    Top gear challenges dvd - Free - Thankyou to the kind lady who sent it to me.
    Top gear midlife crisis (book) - Woolworths (RIP)
    Top Gear calander - Calender stand on market (half price)
    Cool wall & cars - Home made and I am quite proud of it
    Big book of top gear - half price amazon

    Newspaper page - best dad in the world - Free

    Just letting you know that I am 'pinching' this idea - OH loves Top Gear and wanted to do something special as its his 40th :p

    I have a couple of months yet and at the mo I'm making a hamper for my FIL's partner, it seems to be taking on a nail/hand pamper theme. I shall defo post piccies this time as I never got to at christmas and I was so chuffed with them all, as were my family and friends.

    What about takeaway menus for the new area? Also how about one of those funky patterned dustpan and brushes? Home Bargains do them.

    Excellent Idea bec5670 - im off to the shops today to see whats about - I think it might take a good few weeks before she moves in so that gives me loads of time to shop!!!

    So far i got 4 energy saving lightbulbs for £1, two Mr Muscle Sprays - windows and bath for £1 they were on offer in Asda.

    I also started knitting a couple of dishcloths ( I make my own and they last forever).

    You need to upload them to a website first - something like photobucket, which is free. Then copy the URL of the pic accross using the img] (removing the space in the last code) image codes...

    If you do a search on the old hampers thread RustyFlange did an idiots guide on how to do it ~ and it was dead easy to follow.
