    Caseyface Hels and cocktailsavings :T :T :T Fantastic hampers and bags, there are going to be some very happy mummies on Sunday. I would be delighted to receive any one of those, or better still all three, but then again I am greedy............:eek:
  • Thank you Flourgirl ... you have made me feel better about giving it to her now as I don't know why but I always get quite nervous when handing hampers over as never know what to expect people's reactions to be like when they receive them. So much thought gets put in but I just hope people like what they receive as much as I enjoy putting them together!

    I have just made one for my DILs birthday,(post 3029) and although I liked it myself I was unsure of the reaction I would get. I needn't have worried she absolutley loved it. When you think about it you put so much thought into filling them with the recipients favourite things they can't help but like it :)
