I'm really really struggling to find cheap containers for my hampers :-( Any ideas?

On a good note...I ordered my cello on ebay yesterday afternoon and received it this morning...28 metres!

I got a couple of bargain boxes from TKMaxx yesterday. One is large sturdy one and has cerise swirls all over and comes with a lid and the other is a wicker basket with woven fabric insert. They were only £2 each in the clearance section.

Hi everyone!

Can you help? Hubby has asked for a specific eau de toilette for Crimbo, but I've no idea the best online stores (perfume specialist or otherwise) to start looking! He wants Paco Rabanne Ultra Violet (eau de toilette) 100ml.

I feel out of my depth here. ASk me to find the best prices on books, DVDs or games, and I'm fine!! lol

Any help or suggested sites would be wonderful. Thank you!!

£24.95 for 50ml :beer:

Thank you everyone. Looks like I'm off to persuade hubby to just have the 50ml one as it's generally cheaper!! lol

I bought some great baskets from the 99p store today. They are round and quite shallow. I bought one last month for my Mum's hamper and arranged the bottles and things in it and it looks great. The things mainly lie down rather than standing up, as the basket is shallow, but I think it looks great and a bargain :T

I shall be wrapping up some hamper later today hopefully, i have just finished crafting the last few little bits, and my local florists let me buy some giant pull bows for 12p each which is a fab price.

I think its cos she has over stocked on the christmas red one's.

Just have to wait for DF to come home so he can lug it all downstairs for me to sort through.

I'm only wrapping 3 as MIL & FIL are coming on tuesday so i have asked then if they will take them back with them and store them till xmas for us as we'll be moving atthe begiig of december and i dont want them to get damaged or broken.

I've finally finished my first present! A retro sweet jar for my brother - really happy with it.

Just need to print out a little label for it.. don't suppose anybody has any little rhymes to go on them?

Bought the silicone chocolate mould today and came home and tried it out straight away. The lady in the shop said how popular they were, and that homemade presents are the best as it shows that thought has gone into the gift. Just waiting for it to set and then will sample... can't wait!
