thanks for that.. something like the last item on the second page but bigger and more to it if that makes any sense lol

just something that looks more like you could keep it on display etc..

Argos do a wicker sewing box, don't know how to do a link, but it's 021/5644, doesn't have anything in it but you could easily buy bits and pieces depending on what sort of sewing she likes to do. The ready filled ones often have things in that you don't really use ot that are not very good quality.

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4601948.htm is 16.99, but I like the wicker one for 19.99 better, it's prettier.

this is half price form Woolies-

I agree with OP about buying one ready filled, the thread quaity tends to be no use for machine sewing.

John Lewis usually have some lovely sewing boxes too.

Netto have one on offer soon that opens up and has lots of cottons and things inside. It was in the leaflet for either this week or next. Sorry can't be more specific but the leaflets upstairs and I don't want to wake the house up looking for it.
