Finished Baskets - Part 2

december

I've done my very first basket today after being inspired by the stories and pictures on here. I'm doing 2 which are nearly the same and although I haven't got any pictures I thought I would include the details if that's ok? Both are "foodie" hampers and I used items which were mostly on offer in Sainsburys and also in Home Bargains. I've yet to get a basket for the one but the other one was free.
