    kr15snw Just noticed you live in Plymouth. My son lives in St Budeaux. We were down there a couple of weeks ago. The new Dunelm Mill is fab, got some great bargains and baskets from there.

    I gave my 'office mate' her 40th birthday present today (pics to come soon) of a little box set with some posh coffee, packs of dark chocolate (her fave) and a new mug. And she cried! Turns out her family have done sod all for her 40th and I organised this, plus we bought her a birthday cake and decorated her office :)
    Nice when a plan works:)


    it is indeed and that was a lovely gift to her.
    Here's hoping her family had already organised a 'surprise' party for her when she got home :)

    bunbun and flourgirl, lovely baskets, they are going to be really loved.:T

    This one I made for the rugby raffle too. It's the boxes that foxy-lady was showing us

    I hope it's liked. I had a little stamping feet session trying to get the cello on but it all came good in the end LOL
    I can't show it very well but I'm actually quite pleased with this and it looks so much nicer in real life.
    TFL.

    Thank you everyone.

    Mmmm! now you asked me something, Rusty and Jordan.
    I got some things from the boots sale. FCUK and Accessorise.
    Roughly it has
    A handtowel in the bottom
    Travel slippers and eyemask
    small candle
    coffee mug and a bath !!!!!!
    I love shoes key ring and fridge magnet
    FCUK bodywash souffle, whipped body cream and 2 bottles which I just can't read what they are (creams of some sort)
    Accessorise body cream, body scrub and another 2 bottles that I can't read either. (I should have photo'd it before wrapping. DUH)
    A rewrapped bar of galaxy.
    A tissue paper rose.
    It didn't cost me much as I had all the bits here and all was bought in the sale. The mug, magnet and keyring came in a tin money box from asda for £1 and I used the leftover tin to make the easter candy bouquet.

    Wow ... I wish I lived closer, they should raffle it off as an auction then I could come and win it ;) I can't believe you managed to cram so much in! well done ;) I am presuming the printer/computer all all behaving themselves ;)
