I wrapped all my baskets last night after having received my cellophane - they look great! Thanks to all for all the helpful suggestions!

Wow girlies - your ideas are fantastic and I have loads of inspiration so thank you very much! I will be making bath bombs for my Aunty, Mum etc as part of their gifts and one of those funky goldfish soaps for my little cousin - he will adore that! He he... off to find some plastic goldfish now... what would we do without ebay, huh??

For the goldfish soap, I just found these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pack-Of-Six-Goldfish-Squirters-Pocket-money-toy_W0QQitemZ6036760684QQihZ009QQcategoryZ1039QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting which I think would be very appropriate as they will be used in water - kids will love 'em!

My cellophane came today :j :j :j :j


Although, I have ended up doing more people than I intended, so I think I am gonna need more than the 5 meters I bought :think:

Get an account with http://photobucket.com/ and then upload your pics to that (might be quicker if you resize them to make them smaller)

You can then just Copy and paste the IMG line shown at the bottom



If you are going to be putting up a lot of pictures or they are going to be full size, copy and paste the URL link and click the little globe picture that you use to put a link in, then paste the URL into that.



Now you have no excuse

I'll give it a try on Sunday night. I will not be at home this weekend :T

what brilliant ideas there have been on this thread!!

I know that boys dont usually have them but think I will make my lads one each!!

Have made bath bombs b4 so will make some of those and I also have all the ingredients (ceot the goldfish) for the bag in a soap recipie so will hunt some little fishies down and do that soon! my son will love that despite him being 21!! love the chocolate mug thing too. The thread has inspired me to think about what i would like to see in a hamper as to buying one at an inflated price and not wanting half the stuff!

Great thread, and wonderful ideas. I am not very crafty so I think making bath bombs and soaps will be a bridge to far for me but I will certainly give the hamper thing a go. I think it will be perfect for MIL. I will quiz hubby tonight on her favourite foods, will buy her a couple of books from charity shops (she loves to read) and make her a hamper full of her favourite things. She isn't the type for smellies and such so will have to stick to food and other things.

I love the look of those martha steward ice cube soaps, they look fantastic!
