My extremely thrifty hampers (with pics)

Your hampers look really great, would never of thought of a gift like this. A friend of mine wrapped her parcels in brown paper last year with different coloured ribbons, which I'v seen for 99p a reel. It sounds a bit naff but they looked really kewl, designeresqe like! Probably cheap too. No need for gift tags either just writeyour message on the paper.

Hiya all

I think it was on this thread someone posted about a shop called something like 'Bargain City'. I've tried searching it, googling it with no luck. Can anyone remember the name, please? I got the impression it was a bit like pound-stretcher. Thanks.

Hi
I'm still going for this idea.
I've had loads of success today buying baskets-:j

Tesco have a set of 2 that are lined for £3.49 (i think)
I also got some in a large Wilkinson store-they had loads in all different sizes.

I am going to take photos when I've finished, I just have to learn how to post them!!! Would it be an idea to have a thread just for photos??!!

Another idea, don't know if anyone has said this already but cotton wool balls in the hamper with smellies would look like snow and tie in with the contents!

P.S Just put them together and they look fab!!!! Just need to hunt down my cellophane.........
