Idea for Mothers Day Basket

Just had a gardening brochure pushed through the door, with this idea in for mothers day.
Can't belive they are charging £39.99 for it !!!!

I have seen some baskets in Poundland, so maybe a smaller version could be made up using 1 rose plant, a mini bottle of wine and smaller box of choccies .... probably all for less than a fiver :D
A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

  • What a great idea. Nice and easy to make. I might use this idea for Easter and have daffodils instead.

    Can't believr the price of those baskets:eek: :eek: . I have sold loads of mothers day baskets this year probably because they are much better value for money. I include, basket, bath towel, face cloth, wine glass, small bottle of blossom hill,pillar candle, body wash, body polisher, sea sponge, and body brush/massager and I only charge £25 for this

    Hi Rusty, Well thanks to all of you on these threads I started my own business and the gift baskets is just one arm. So far I have sold a few through craft fairs but mainly friends, friends of friends etc and I gave loads of flyers out outside my sons primary school and got loads of orders through those:D
