    Home and bargin are good for craft sets quite cheap, maybe make your own photoframe and she could put a pic of the baby in it?
    or one of those hand crafting kits and she could put her hand and the babies ect
    just a thought

    Geat idea, shame we dont have a home bargain or B&M here i will look out on my travels :D
  • Thanks for this, I went on Littlewoods this morning and got exactly the same deal! got the towel bale and some other bits for nothing!:j thanks for the tip!!
    i really dont know if i am allowed to do this
    so i apologize in advance if not

    on the grab it while you can thread, there is an offer, for £15 off a £15 spend in littlewooods & free delivery if its your first spend
    i was inspired by your towel cakes and ordered a towel bale from there (£12) LOTS of colours 2 choose from, 2 facecloths, 2 hand towels, 2 bath towels
    i also ordered a pair of knickers just to make up the money
    input ZZ425 in the code bit at the checkout and it deducts £15 form your total
    so you get your towel bale (and knickers) for free:j
    LBM: April 2009 - honest debt figure: Secured: £0.00!! (paid back april 2017) unsecured: £53117.48 (roughly):eek: back with CCCS starting again:(

    How many towels are you using in your wedding cakes? And how are you keeping them together?

    They look absolutely fantastic and very neat and tidy. Lovely!

    Thanks very much! I use a full towel bale. 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, 2 face cloths inside is a bottle of cava/champagne depending on the budget and I fix them with safety pins and the personalised ribbon! HTH

    I love the idea of putting a bottle in but if you are selling them don't you need a license for selling alcohol? I have never used one because I thought this was the case.

    If anyone is making towel cakes, Debenhams have a really good deal on their towel bales just now. The bales have 2 each of face cloths, hand towels and bath towels, and cost £15 each or 2 for £20. On this basis, each cake will only cost £5.
    They are good quality, and lovely colours, including deep purple and turquoise
