So far for my Christmas Hampers I have made...

MrsTinks

Hello? Can we please return to the subject

I believe there is a board called Ebay (etc) on here which might be better suited for discussions about sellers

Can we bring this thread back on track and not digress into a thread about one particular Ebay seller please?

Thank you!!

I just thought other people should know what she is like. I did not intend to take this thread off the topic, but people seem to be interested as it's to do with cellowrap, a major essential to making hampers

Sorry :lipsrseal

I got the base soap from https://www.meltandpoursupplies.com they aren't the cheapest though (they add VAT and £6 p&p on at the end) but I was doing a fairly big order.

Just do a search for melt and pour soap and you should find something - I think it is usually around £3 a kilo which makes a decent amount of soap to be going on with.

Hope this helps.

And you just add your own fragrance and colour yourself? I only need a little for 5 people.

They're fab - how big are they?

Erm I'm not very good at measuring sizes (comes from being wrongly told for years what 12inches looks like by various men :rotfl: :lipsrseal

The candles are about (and this is a very rough guesstimate) 3in x 3in? Various "flavours" (white chocolate etc) and shapes of cake were available!!

I really want to eat them as they smell so real!

I wanna make this, they are so fab :j I am just trying to see if I can find somewhere that does cheaper delivery than £6.


Oh for chocolate candles, they have some fab ones in poundstrecher, cor they smelt good :drool:

lightisfading

From what i've seen £5or6 p+p is pretty normal for base soap, it's heavy stuff! Best to get a bunch of stuff in one go and combine postage

I've bought from sellers 'craftwise40' and 'bathbombbiz' on ebay, about a fiver postage for both. I think royal mail or parcelfarce or whoever it is charge the same for anything between 1kg and 12kg.

Hi
This is my first post I have been lurking the site for a while, but thanks to this thread in particular I have decided to make my own cake/puddings/chocs/peppermint creams etc to save on money this xmas, i have done the cake and puds and had a practice on peppermint creams (which was a total disaster) and had a go at chili truffles and some baileys truffles today - both delicious
Just like to say thanks to everyone, I am going to now try and set myself budget for nov shopping challenge and join the £2 savers club etc
If I come up with any ideas I will post them too - thanks
