I'm trying to decide which is better to buy to cover my hampers:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5m-Roll-Santa-Snowmen-Cellophane-Christmas-Gift-Wrap-/280734896324?_trksid=p4340.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D3587563684125752333#ht_807wt_1037

or

Not necessarily those patterns, more the sizes?

I like both but personally I would go for the stars wrap knowing it would be used next year too/ for birthdays

I don't know if many of you were watching The Great British Bake Off but Jo who won it, has got a blog and this week she did a class on making a Christmas Food Hamper http://josblueaga.blogspot.com/2011/10/christmas-hamper-baking.html it includes Stollen, Truffles, Chutney, Granola, Mincemeat and Shortbread.

Hi all, have read every page of this thread and got lots of lovely ideas from you all. Whats the best way to add pictures on here? Never done it before and thought I would show you all the things I made last year and hopefully help you all in return

You need to upload photos from an online photo-sharing site or blog you cannot do it straight from your computer.

There is an icon above which is like a postcard that you click to add photos.

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy cellophane and baskets to make my hampers with? I've found some cellophane online at about £3 fro 10m but realised I probably need to get the baskets first to double check on size!!

Thanks everyone, will have a go at uploading pics tomorrow at a more 'normal' time of day!

Zcrat41 - would love to know the answer to that one myself. I bought some baskets from a local independent shop, £6 for a set of 3 large ones. Stupidly only bought the one set. Went back a few days later and sold out. Typical
