Finished Baskets - Part 2

Everyone's hampers look brilliant, roll on Xmas!!!

Cookie - how about red nail varnish/lipstick/lip balm/lip gloss; box of Maltesers; Tesco had some own brand smellies with wine-red labels (Spa range or something?) with some great offers like a big pot of bath melt for £1.24, mini bottles 40p each...

there are several items that are quite fun that could go towards a love type hamper mind you I've not read the last 3 pages of this thread yet so you may have loads of ideas by now!!

Good luck!

Was in boots today and saw the £5 packs of chocolate stirrers for dipping stirring hot choc etc. Decided to make my own with the help of some mini ice cube trays from wilkinsons £1, abar of the 39p swiss choc from home bargains and some free stirrers from macdonalds ( i asked nicely):)


Here is boots £5 version:

And here is the mse version bagged and tagged for 39p:rotfl:




the stickless ones are some chocolates I was trying out at same time , somebody ate the other three :rotfl:

Those are brilliant, what a great idea and would be so much nicer to receive those than shop-bought ones!

Woohoo I now have a lovely 28 metre roll of cellophane

Been out to pick it up this morning £4.60 for 28 metres which isn't bad! Also managed to get some florist 2" ribbon for £1.50 (100 yrds) and curling ribbon for 89p (500 metres)

wow rusty where did u manage to get those bargains?

The cello was from a big craft warehouse in the north east, this is a normal price to pay, sometimes they charge a little more for patterned cello and they also fo 100 metre rolls for £17 ish, however for the curling ribbon and florist ribbon it was from a wholesaler and I was lucky enough to get in there They had white dot cello in there 100 metres for £10 + vat so very very cheap!!!

I am thinking I should go buy loads and sell them on ebay lmao

making my friend a "family movie hamper" for christmas for her+hubby and kids (daughter age 13, son aged 11). Does anyone have any suggestions for suitable family films (DVD) i can put in the hamper?
I was just gonna put Blockbuster gift card in, so they could choose what they want but worried this might look cheap/not thoughtful (plus am hoping to find DVDs cheaper than what i might spend in Blockbuster!)
I can raid their DVD collection when I am visiting to check they haven't whatever you are about to suggest .....

Mum & Daughter into ponies, Dad & son into rugby. This probably doesn't help at all.

SDH I love Polar Express, its very christmassy but such a good movie, another my DD like is Alvin and the chipmunks.

Sorry if these are no help

I bought Stardust from Tesco for £5 and would highly recommend it as a great family film, good cast, very exciting, very sweet!
