What to use as Hamper boxes?

3KIDSNOMONEY

not sure, but sometimes the £1 shops and 99p shops stock a lot of the same items. Or alternatively, you could try wilkos, etc. for a similar item, but may cost more.

I got 8 x "bread baskets" on ebay for around £10 inc p&p. They are around baskets that have a diameter of 12". They are a very good size for £1.25 each. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll find out the sellers name for you.

Poundland in Croydon are selling chrome fruit bowls criss cross design that could be used rather than a basket as these often get thrown away/float around wondering what to use them for.

dont know how to put photo in sorry but this is what they look like

There are some nice rattan boxes and baskets in lidl at the moment - not cheap but really really nice.

I'm getting some jute bags from Unicorn Co-op grocers in Chorlton (Manchester). They're jutexpo.com bags - unicorn sell them with cool slogans on for £1.95. They are really really strong and useful - so thought they'd be handy hampers - gonna but some nice organic wine/beer/nuts/chocolate etc in them from unicorn as well as other bits and pieces.

For those that are having problems with the code for the baskets, you need to phone them up.

Mine didnt get delivered, and weirly enough they had no record of me :rolleyes: the order email means nothing, if you get a delivery dispach then it means it has been ordered.

Just phone them up, say you ordered something but have had no word about delivery, then ask them to order it for you, tell them you dont want a credit account, give them the order number, then the code and they will sort it for you.

The email I received yesterday stated that my items were ready for dispatch but didn't say when they'd be dispatched.

I want to start my hamper buying but won't until they arrive, as one of my hampers has a £5 limit and I want to make sure I've got a free hamper before I spend £5 on the contents

tesco had some clear plastic ones with handles for £1.29 and the handles are either green or pink, so I shall report back when they are filled with craft things.

They usually despatch pretty quickly - 2-3 days tops by courier

I really need to start being more patient . Came home from work today and there they were sat inside my recycling box waiting for me (glad the binmen had been before the courier!).

Personally, I wouldn't pay £6.99 for them, but excellent for a freebie.

Many thanks to the OP.

Now off to find the bargains to fill them....
