Hello there, thanks to your wonderful threads I am making a selection of HM goodies for some xmas pressies but I cannot find an apprioriate box/hamper etc to put them in? It will be a selection of truffles/fudge/shortbread/peppermint creams/mince pies. Anyone found any?

Hi,
Poundland sell a sqaure fabric box (they flatpack), in pink and blue.
I used them last year to make a few hampers.

the best hamper i had from a good friend was a laundry basket. it had a couple of towels in at the bottom, slippers, chocs,bubble bath, shampoo, smellies, hair brush, candles and bottle of wine. she had it gift wrapped at the local florist. great hamper and really useful laundry basket after:T

for what your suggesting in putting in the hamper how about using a tray with sides

Then get it wrapped in the clear sellophane at a florist

Do you have a farm shop near you? My local ones sells the old fashioned wooden baskets. Lined with a bit of tissue paper and ribbon wound round the handles it could look lovely. They come in different sizes and are really reasonably priced.

I've just bought some very cheap christmas cake and mince pie boxes from a company called The Craft Company (Google it), boxes start from 40p with postage at £2.50.

I've also spent ages trawling the internet for the cheapest lidded hamper for my own homemade gifts this year and the best deal I thought was on the JamJarShop.
