    Been looking for something myself - have just found this website http://www.partypieces.co.uk/product/cel_party+themes_hollywood+party+theme_tableware/4845.htm they might have exactly what I need!:j

    Hey this one looks great. Surprised that it's plastic! Anyone got one of these? What are they like?

    Hey Clare

    I looked at getting one of those for my Movie Hamper but with P&P it worked out expensive and it's quite small (10inch diameter) but I wanted to use it to put all of my items in, it would be great if there was a bigger version of it somewhere.

    I never thought of a little black book.
    I have one lying around somewhere.:T

    Durex cherry lube is cherry flavoured lubrication :rolleyes:
    and a pulling shirt is well a pulling shirt - a nice smart trendy fashionable shirt, to make all the ladies fall at his feet.

    I have been so busy today - got absolutely loads and loads done and all organised and hidden away.

    We also found out what day i will be having our baby by c-section and we're so excited. Just means i have more planning and organising to do. She will be born on the 10th september 2009 :T:T:T

    Also finished my new daddy hamper / survival kit and it looks really good - well im pleased with it anyway.

    Now im off to have a well deserved sit down in front of the TV with a massive belguim bun covered in gooey icing and a big shiny cherry.

  • Hi everyone, I tend to lurk on here more than I post but after spending far too long reading this thread I had to post to thank you all for all the ideas you have given me! I already had bought cards, gift wrap, and socks (to make sock monkeys). I now also plan to make all my neices; nephews; my one cousin; and my own 3 boys a movie hamper with:
    little pringles tub
    choc bar
    bag of butterkist popcorn
    can of coca cola
    cheap DVD (no more than £3)
    £5 gift card for cinema
    going to put them in a wrapped shoebox.

    Am also going to make a pot of gold for eldest nephew (instead of movie hamper), and winter warmer hampers for my mum and nan.

    I like to be organised and always stay under budget, but need to be even more so this year as found out today I will be having an op in november time after which I will have to rest up for 6 weeks!!!
    It is only a bargain if you need it!

    princesswoo - thanks. Not sure what my grandson thinks is 'trendy' nowadays so might pass on that one. Maybe I'll think of something else.

    Kay -you do sound organised and to keep within budget is an achievement...........I always try to keep mine as cheap as possible but seem to keep going over.....:confused:
    Hope op is nothing too serious..........but good reason to get motivated now then at least you can put your feel up and relax
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Welcome to the forum, we are pleased to have you here with us.

    I'm loving all the movie hamper idea's -
    Have you thought about putting a mini pic & mix in your movie hampers.
