Gosh apologies for the uber long post
i didnt realize how much this was bothering me:(

and it all just came out
sorry:(

ohh toughie.

Could you maybe tell them you don't know how much they cost to make but will mke them for £20 a basket - any profit made will be donated to x charity (or perhaps put towards a childrens hospital christmas gift??

:Twell done chicky wiggle

thats exactly what i shall do

:o:o at not thinking of that myself
my daughter is 17
and has attended childrens hospital since she was 3 (kidney patient)
she is having to leave to go to adult hospital next year:(

we are involved in fundraising there
but wanted to do something extra this year

i shall donate all the money from the baskets
it doesnt cost a huge amount to make, and it would be so beneficial to donate the money

(i'd never make a business woman but my hearts in the right place i suppose)

thank you SO much :happyhear
you are a star!

midnightraven,

Well done on your hampers being such a hit! Would you mind telling me what was in them? (I love stealing good ideas - LOL)

I'm into photography so I made personalised calendars last year (family photos to suit each month - birthday celebrations, new year party, christmas dinner etc) and they were really popular - family showed them off to all their visitors and had them on display in their kitchens. Bonus was they were really cheap to make!

cheers. i shall wait for the "constantly closing down then re-openig 2 days later under a new sports name that is closing down" shop to re-open as a sports direct.......... failing that i have a hunch there is one at meadowhell :eek:

Yep, there is one at meadowhell. Not sure where you are, but there is also one at Drakehouse retail park,near crystal peaks, which is less painful than meadowhell if you live anywhere near that side of sheffield!
