  • Thanks guys really appreciate your comments. Started my next hampers already, a small pamper type one for my friends birthday in two weeks with some bath, shower stuff etc got in Avon sale. (Got some detox shower mud in tesco reduced from £3.79 to 47p if its any use to anyone!) and also a gardening one for my mother in laws birthday so will be scouring through the posts on here looking for ideas. Also thinking about making a couple for mothers day but not sure what to put in them yet, maybe along the lines of a book, a candle, chocs, drink??!! Looking forward to hearing any ideas anyone has and seeing some pics of your new hampers!! x
  • Actually does anyone know a good place to get a small basket? My friends gift is going to be more small basket size rather than hamper and I cant remember having saw any around. I need to get it finished and posted by the end of next week as my son has an operation on her birthday so its all a bit of a rush (well the rest of the bits is coming from the avon lady on thurs so only need to find a basket!! Have all the cellophane etc) thanks in advance xx

  • Putting together a Mr Men themed gift basket for my nephew:

    Mr Clever - 365 Random Facts in a Jar
    Mr Stingy - Penny Jar
    Mr Bounce - Ball of Life
    Mr Greedy - DIY Cookbook (variation of a journal where he has to pick 2 ingredients randomly from a jar then make up a recipe from it. I'll provide a notebook for him to write the recipes in). He's a really keen cook.
    Mr Funny - something joke related not sure what
    Mr Forgetful - "important things you learned in school then promptly forgot"
    Mr Strong - rugby match survival kit - he loves going to watch rugby

    Still a work in progress to develop these ideas.

    I love this idea! I had a Mr Men gift box that I bought from a Hallmark card shop (in Fleetwood) last year. Might still find them around, or I've seen Mr Men wrapping paper-you could cover a box with this?

  • Lesley_Mac your hampers look fantastic, well done, and your pictures are perfectly fine and not too big!!!

    Cocktail savings I love the tea themed poems, I may well borrow one if you don't mind as I plan to put a pack of tea bags and a cup etc into my mums birthday hamper :)

    Hi Rusty, I cannot claim the credit for those poems as just searched for tea poems on google and it came up with a few of those. Feel free to use them though :-)
