    Could you tell me, are Au naturel a nationwide company - will I find one in the East Midlands?

    Many moons ago you could find small versions of Au Naturel in branches of Internationale (clothes shop). I don't know if this is still the case, it was about 7 years ago since i was last in one, i have a big Au Naturel near me now.

    There's one in Northampton, if that helps.

    I've just tried to do the same as you but it's asking me to enter my creditcard details before it tells me the amount my card will be charged. Is this what it did for you? (I don't want to enter my details to then find I'm going to get charged!!).

    Thank you :)

    Yes that's what it did for me, then it said amount to pay £0.00 because I had entered a code on the first screen.

    Didn't get an order code or anything on screen afterwards though - but presume I'll get a confirmation email or something (my order has only just gone through)!

    Plus, if it does come up as you being charged something - you can always cancel the order as it will ask you to confirm the transaction :)

    Some more nice baskets on Vertbaudet - http://www1.vertbaudet.co.uk/cgi-bin/Vertbaudet.storefront/454637b00014ce1c2753d526bac6068b/Product/View/1741078

    Find the right code, and you get them for less than £5 delivered

    Roz, thank you for that.

    I've just ordered the girlie pink ones. I'm going to use one as the hamper basket for my MIL. We've got a spending limit of £5 on BF's side of the family, so didn't really fancy spending £2 of it on the actual hamper.

    So, now my mission is to find enough stuff to fill it but not spend more than a fiver!!! There are some great ideas on the thread, but if there are any more out there, that would be great!!!

    I was in poundland today and they had some wicker baskets that are like mini washing baskets, they were great if you are doing a food hamper and need something a bit bigger.
