    Thanks! He was made up (more with the hamper than the slab *hmm*)

    This thread has got me thinking about what to do this year. First V'day engaged and in a new home. I'm thinking suprise romantic meal for 2 and decorating the house/rooms up as we havent decorated properly yet (so I don't care if the wallpaper gets ripped!) would be nice as we never get time on our own like that.

    I've had a look for some heart candles, I'm going to do heart shaped hangy things for a decoration and then keep thinking....

    Evening all,
    thought I would share this with you they cost £2.99 plus free p&p. Thought i would add them to the pot of love.

    The website is http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/store.cfm?cat=19 and it's free p&p with no minimum spend. Just to warn you there's some naughty bits on there.

    Haha they look fun. Chocs and sweets are always a good bet, I might get my bf a nice shirt or something so that he's got something he actually wants and one of those 'sexy cheque books'.

  • I think i may do a love hamper instead of a pot of love, as i have so much i want to put into it, and i cant find any pots anywhere, I tried tescos, asda etc, and the shops in town, no nothing.

    Where does everyone get their hamper boxes from? I saw some red storage boxes in store21, i was thinking i coukd maybe use one of those??

    Lynzie you could do a pot of love to go in your hamper, that is what I am doing. I have a big red box and plan to fill it with red things! I keep adding to it as and when I see things and some of the things are completely random.

    I have this and a few other bits so far

  • Thanks Rusty, I have never made a hamper or anything before, and I love the idea of being able to make my oh a hamper, whether it comes out right is another question.

    Where did you get your big red box from??

    You make such fab things rusty!

    :o Thankyou for the kind comments :)

    The big red box is actually a christmas one I got it from birthdays in their sale section, was supposed to be £5.99 but I paid £1.25 for it, it does have a christmas tag on but I plan to remove that ;)

    If you get all of your items for a hamper then just place them all inside the basket/box and re arrange til you are happy :) I never imagined I could do something like that but now I knock them out really quickly and easily :)
