  • Hi guys just to let you know got some cheap baskets in poundstretcher today. In fact they were all reduced all sizes. The one I got was originally £2.50 and I got it for £1.72! Also for the person doing the time out hamper I noticed poundstretcher also had a multipack of single time out chocolate bars, first time I have saw that chocolate for ages and then I see it after reading your thread lol!!
  • Hiya,

  • Hiya,

    Just thought i would post some pics of my first hamper for my friends 40th next sat.
    I havent added the tag yet but it will read something like this:

    Now you are getting OLD….. er!

    Hair dye - to cover up any grey hair
    Dove pro-age shampoo & conditioner - to keep your hair looking young
    Anti-aging cream, shimmer lip & eye screen - to keep the wrinkles at bay
    Vitamins & Energising tablets - to keep you healthy
    Puzzle – to keep your mind active

    And to help you relax, and stop you worrying about getting older…
    Bubble Bath
    Facemask
    Bath Lilly
    Candles
    [FONT=&quot]Bottle of wine[/FONT]

    The only things i had to buy was the shampoo & conditioner (1/2 rice in boots) & the hairdye, i managed to get the rest from around the house!

    Am just finishing my niece's valentine's "parcel" - just odds and ends she will like for Valentine's day (age 8 :)) A heart cushion, bear with heart and packs of lovehearts, lipgloss, bubble bath, chocs etc... :p

    DD getting the same but with body spray too :)

    I have spend *less* this last year on *more* presents than previously taking my credit card to the shops mid dec/just b4 birthdays.... all I didn't allow for was the storage space needed! :rotfl:

    Hi,

    Great hamper miss*whisper

    This might help someone doing a chocolate hamper as a gift. I picked 2 copies of this up from my Tescos extra yesterday for a £1.00 each.

    http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=4962924

    Not sure why they were so cheap, but they had a pallet full in the freezer section. I picked up a couple for hampers I will be doing this year, and one is going to a friend who loves Green and Black Chocolate.

    HTH
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000
