Thats what I did lol, I just wrapped a nice ribbon around it and just made it look pretty by adding shredded paper.

That's a brilliant idea. My son's school have asked parents to donate gifts for a hamper (each year has a colour theme) that will then be raffled. I did winder if the idea came from someone who visits this site as it's the sort of thing someone on here would come up with My son's class' hamper colour is red so I bought a box of Maltesers and found a big tub of bath melt in Tesco for £1.24 (hugely reduced) that had a wine-red label.

I have just taken in loads of Boots stuff for my boys' school to make up a hamper for the raffle. I took a carrier bag full - hasn't made much of a dent in my stash:rotfl:
