coffee~bath hamper... anything else needed?

postingalwaysposting

sian thanks for that she a smoker... so i dont think i will include the matches/lighter... (i deleted message above) i have finished it all and the total is £92.73 :eek: but i dont mind (ish) that includes the basket and a dvd and a towel... i will have to get another basket and seperate them into two as it certainly wont fit into one so it will cost me another £7.99 for another basket... by then it will be over £100... needless to say thats a luxary hamper and a half... i did want to get her something else but adding it all up i think that will be her main one... i am glad that its all usable though i havent put them together yet but once they are done i will post a picture

Ems!

i think m & s possibly do bath salts not in a set - from memory - a few different colours indifferent pots all stacked up and not too expensive - really sorry if i am wrong! - i wouldn't make a special trip there based on my say so but if you are passing have a look!!

EDIT: sorry - cross posted - congrats on finishing it, it sounds fab!!

:j aww thansk researcher :j i think you have made/decided half of this :rotfl: right i am on the look out for a laundry basket now i have seen some florists have pre~made bows (on ribbon) and they just pull one end and they are made... i could prob give it a go at making my own... i think i will have to pop into hobby craft

edit ~ just found a pull bow on ebay for £5 :eek: i am going to make my own i think :rotfl:

Hi

thanks all i am sure she will i will update this thread to let you know if she did...

sophiesmum they are in my built in cupboard (same size as the airing cupboard opening into mums room) so yes they are in a safe place... i have put loads of things in front of the cupboard too so i know if people have been peaking dunno how i am going to get them downstairs (especially the bath one) as they are heavy... but we will cross that hurdle when we come to it :rotfl:
