i think that looks brilliant! well done on the wrapping.

i've ordered my festive cellophane wrap so i should be able to finish some and move them into the garage out the way. thats the only thing i've noticed with doing hampers. theres not enough storage in my house to put/hide everything lol

My bedroom was getting crowded with my hampers so when my sister visited I made her take hers, her hubbys, my nieces and my dads and stepmums presents back with her. That certainly freed up some space but then I made more (for hubbys family) so my bedroom is crowded again!! :rotfl:

my bedroom is starting to look the same way!!! thanks for the compliments on the wrapping, it took a while to figure it out but got there in the end!!

FINALLY finished the other 2 baskets :D

Have only got to get the wrapping now, which I will order online today as my local florist has no festive designs And will spruce them up with tinsel next week, so they dont look so bland.

Will more than likely re-arrange all 4 baskets before I wrap them so they look more professional but these are the last 2, they are for my sons girlfriend little brother (so he get chocs,mug & a voucher) & my sons girlfriend's basket, she has the new Leona Lewis album in the gold box and also a voucher so I kind went over budget with her lol (but I do know her better than her family)

So here they are

I wasn't going to make any hampers this year, but DD1 had given me a few smelly sets that she didn't want a few months ago and I'd bought two Christmas boxes in the sales in Jan for some unknown reason :rolleyes: and I was fed up of moving them about so decided to make little ones up, this is the one that's finished, took me 10 mins to do, the contents are split smelly sets (nowt special really) the cellophane and bows are remnants off last year and the box was 50p, so all in all it cost me 50p I never thought to take a photo of the 'before' so it's all wrapped.



The box is lovely mind you, great to keep oh and it's sitting on it's lid.

Hey all,

I've done a search and can't find this anywhere... Apologies if it has been posted before though.

I got some seagrass baskets from Argos today (reserve and pick up) - they are 3 for £14.99, but you get 3 free too on the special offer (click on the special offer link in red for details), making the total £2.50 per basket. They're really nice quality.

Here's the link (or if that's not allowed and gets deleted, go to Argos and search for Set of 3 seagrass baskets - natural):

Loving everyone's baskets. I can't wait to get mine sorted :T

All the hampers look fab, I have now just bought all the smellies etc for my mates' birthday hampers for next year from Avon (just hope the stuff keeps).
