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

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
