Popkins your suitcase hamper is stunning! I love it, I love the way you've decorated it.

Gorgeous suitcase Popkins! Love all the travel stickers, I'm not suprised he was chuffed - it's great!

Just had a mini panic as it's a customer/friend's birthday tomorrow and I'd completely forgotten! So have had a root round and a dash to the £ shop and have come up with this (she's butterfly mad!);

Contents;
Memo block - £1 - £ shop
4 mini butterfly candles - £1 - £ shop
Birthday Cake in a Mug - mug £1 Woolies (bought a stash) ingredients approx 50p - already had
Chilli Pepper toiletry set - already had (think I might have got it for Christmas)

The cellophane and ribbons were saved from a Christmas present.

Hope she likes it - can't believe I nearly forgot!!

thevicster that looks fantastic I am sure she will love it! I love your cello, is it just a bag or actual cello?

Popkins - Wow your suitcase looks fantastic! I showed OH and he said it must have took you hours to do! Very clever though and just sets it off perfectly! Well done

Thanks Rusty (& everyone else) for your lovely comments - it did take a little while but not too long tbh - I just found the label pictures on google (graphics) & then printed them, cut them out & glued them on!! Was really pleased with the finished result tho!

thanks for the tip about those boxes, I have reserved some!

QS have got some gorgeous little suitcases in atm. THey're gingham round the edge and aqua with tiny sprigs of pink flowers all over the top and bottom. I have got a couple to store smaller toys in my daughters new bedroom (have also got one put away to do her a 'dressing up' box at Christmas).

There's 3 different sizes, priced between £1.50 and £3.50 (think they do round boxes too, similar style to the Argos ones). They're so pretty and very Cath Kidston esque.

I know we have commented on how lovely these are before but I dont think they have ever been this cheap before?

Ideal for making hampers.

foxy-lady I just made a hamper for a raffle prize in one of those today but I got mine last year and they were £9.99
I don't very often rate much that I make but I have to say it's come up quite well in one of these boxes. I'll take a pic and show tomorrow.

Popkins and thevicster fantastic hampers, sorry it's only a quick message(I've had one of those days) but I really do like them both very much.:T :T
