Is the age 8 cousin the right pic? I'd love to see that basket, the others look great!:)

I have changed the links so they are right now.

I am actually using a different one for my little cousin, a pink one, but the one Ihave shown it in, is £3.50 from instore (or pound strecher dependant on where you live)

The chocolate coloured box, and the wine style box are from au naturel £1.50 for the chocolate one, and 50p for the little wine one we have used to put chocs in.

well that's your next target then for xmas 2007 - finding dirt cheap hampers to put it all in :rotfl:

Really good idea, love the personal touch

No no - leave them on (as long as they're not the reduced ones) Then it'll look like you've spent a lot more than you actually have!

Fab hampers by the way - i've only done a few bits of shopping, you've spurred be on to get on with the rest.

Ho Ho Ho

Hi iwanttosave
i am gobsmacked at the hampers, i have just dragged Mr.S away from Afterlife to look at tham, he was also amazed when he stopped huffing about being disturbed. I will nominate this for post of the month, if someone tells me how to do it. You are brill.

Well if they have helped one person I will be very happy.

Money is really tight this year, hence the hampers, and if people are finding it tough like me, they can see that xmas can be done on a budget. Esp for those that lost out on the farepack vouchers.

I know, the hampers cost more than the prezzies themselves on some :rotfl:
