Hi everyone

Just to let you know, there is a £15 off £40 spend code for iwantoneofthose.com over on the Discount board, great for little things to bulk out hampers or stockings x

Hi,

I've had a look through the thread and checked out a few of the shops mentioned here for baskets but not had any joy yet. Has anyone bought any relatively cheap baskets recently that they can recommend?

TIA

Hi,

I'm lovin the gift baskets im really inspired and am looking forward to Christmas that bit more with the excitement of making some hopefully gorge hampers. Just stuck on what to put in a hamper for my sis who is a 18yr old student. She loves goin out so have decided to make her a night out hamper. I have put in a mascara, cd and drink to get her into the spirit before the night out. Also a relaxing eye mask and bubble bath for the next day but haven't a clue what to put in for the actual night out part of the set. Any ideas? I would be really greatful for any advice THANKS

You could buy a handbag and put some of the "essentials" in there:

Lipgloss
Mirror
Chewing gum/mints
Gel shoe pads (party feet things)
Plasters
A new purse?
Mini hairbrush
Sample size perfume?

I've tried to list some things that you can get relatively cheaply.

Hope this helps!

Hi Ladies,

Just spent about 2 hours looking at all your beautiful hampers. How much would I love to receive one of them!!

You have inspried me to make a baking hamper for my little neice. She has just turned 7 and loves al thing pink and girlie! Im a bit stumped as to where I can find some kiddie friendly/kiddie sized baking things. (not being much of a baker myself I dont really have much of a clue what needs to go in there!)

I have looked on ebay and have found a lovely kids apron. Has anyone ay ideas what lse I could pop into it? Also wondering if you may know where I could get a nice baking bowl to use to pop te stuff in.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
Linz

Hi Linz

There's a kiddies baking set (whisk/cookie cutters etc) for a couple of pounds on theworks.com
There's some really nice bits on amazon, you could also see if there's a money off coupon somewhere.

kk22 - great ideas! Just remembered - in Primark, they have those fold up ballet flats in a bag which you can change into to save you walking home in heels, think they were about £5

You could probably get Wetherspoons vouchers if she has one near? I bought some online last year for my fil, he was really chuffed!! Also Park and other places I think sell 'leisure vouchers' which you can use in places like tgi friday etc. Make sure you post some pics, be great to see how it turns out!!!
