    I use a needle and cotton and put a few stitches around the top or sometimes I just lay it in and it stays down with the things I put in them

    In my mums - mascara, photoframe whaich i'm going to get aston to help decorate (bought a pack of 3 for £1 in wilkies) chocolates, not sure what else yet.

    Nans, candles, ounce of tobbacco - i know it's not a very normal present but i always buy her a pouch on her birthday and at xmas, some body sprays and photo frame.

    Sisters, at the moment just photo frame, not really sure what else to get as she dont wear make up, dont use anything in the bath due to eczema so am a bit stuck!

    Theres another post on here with loads of ideas for hampers, where to get baskets, what to fill them with and how to decorate them. You'll be reading it for hours but loads of inspiration!

    If youve got a shredder then just put any old paper through it and it makes nice packaging (I take coloured paper to work and use the shredder there!)

    Such a simple idea yet it'd never even crossed my mind!! Thank you. :beer:
    How long til pay day? :eek:
