OH got a txt last night, one of our friends little girls is turning 5. She loves disney princesses and I would like to try and make up a little something for her.

I so far have a jewelry box with disney princess on it (£1 asda christmas sale)
Make your own scene disney princes (£1 asda christmas sale)

Now I am stuck :rotfl: Anyone suggest something I can get off the high street which is cheap and cheerful but still good quality if that makes sense?

Rusty, there were loads of disney princess things in my Ethel Austin's today, many were reduced/half price, plus there was a further 20% off everything in store

Made up a Cake & Bikkies hamper yesterday for my best friend's hubby - he LOVES cakes & bikkies!! There was a selection of 10 different cakes/bikkies & he was totally thrilled when I presented him with it last night!! The colours co-ordinated really nicely with the card I made for him which was themed around his football team's colours (red/black/white):






Have had an 'order' for a Wedding Hamper later in the year so will be on the look out for bargains for that!!

Aww thanks! I know - it was all very tempting while I was putting it together but I was good & resisted cos I'm really not allowed any of it!! (can't have dairy!!) and would've felt really ill if I'd had any of it but I did come close!! :eek::D

Have to admit I cheated when it came to the gingerbread people - bought them already done in Sainsburys!! - they were actually called the 'Hoola Mr & Mrs' or something like that! Just put them in cellaphane bags with ribbon to make them look a bit nicer!!

Well my ice cream hamper is done but not yet cellophaned. Will put a pic on next week.
I found some great ice cream themed things in Morrisons, 99p for some plastic sundae glasses that look like ice cream cones and 79p for an ice cream scoop, was great for the final touches

The ice cream hamper went down very well with my friend. I think the total cost was around £15 plus cellophane and I think it looked a lot more expensive than it was, will try to put piccies on later!
I would recommend it as a theme though, quite easy at this time of year and I know very few people who don't like ice cream

My best friend gave birth to a beautiful daughter at the weekend and I put together this hamper for her and her partner and the baby I made the hamper up mainly of neutral coloured things and then added some pink stuff once I found out it was a girl.
