I am usually pretty good at finding baskets and other things to do my hapmers in but does anyone have any suggestions what I can use for my step-dads gift. He is only getting a couple of novels and a couple of decent bottles of beer, and maybe a glass if I can find a nice one but I want to present them nicer. Any suggestions welcome - the baskets I have are all the wrong size!

My local Morrisons have a set of three stacked wicker hampers with fabric lining for £3.99 - perfect for these presents! (Loads there - all stacked up)

How about a wooden crate (not thick wood lol) that the fruit/veg come in? I've picked up small ones at tesco and lidls with satsumas in or larger ones at lidls and the market.
I just fill with strips of cardboard, animal bedding (cheap in tesco) or shredded brown paper. The bottles nestle in really nicely I just then wrap in cellophene tieing with rustic twine and a brown luggage label.

Thanks for that but I think they will be too big for the small number of items that are going in the present.
