    try selling them at craft fairs or tabletop sales. we have loads in our area, they do pamper evenings and people 'try' treatments for a set entrance fee. Maybe be able to sell there.

    What about in school staff rooms - maybe a small table in their staff rooms at lunch time, everyone there and they can wonder over and have a look while they are eating :) Secondary schools and colleges may be especially good - bigger staff rooms and more staff! Just give a few local schools round your area a ring and book them in :)
    Ooh good luck - I'm really excited for you, let us know how you get on :)

  • Perhaps it would help if you could tell us what was in one of the hampers for example or perhaps a picture of one of them? It may be that they could be a tad more pleasing to the eye or perhaps need to re arrange? I often make hampers for xmas and spend ages rearranging things to get them looking lovely.

    Give one to bitterwallet or someone similar for a competition prize...you'll get links and sell some if they are good.

    Check the ompetition section here for ideas...everyone uses this social networking /comps method now. IT works.
