    D4WNO why not print your own on the PC?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    for anyone who is looking for wicker baskets, a new morissons opened near us, and they had a home section in, and they have some great small baskets for 99p

    i got a good one for £2.99 with a lid on for my sisters hamper.
  • Instore as well still selling them for 99p though they are meant as bread baskets though just take the lining out as not attached.
    All baskets looking great:D

    Ok How do i make the photos smaller! I uploaded them to Photo Basket!


    You can edit the size in photobucket. Go to edit/resize and select the message board one I think it is and it should be a better size

    Just a quickie....Whittards are doing "hamper" type gift sets - guess someone in their marketing department has been reading this thread lol!

    They're all in a cardboard box with lid with tissue paper, varying prices - generally a mug + either coaster to match or tin/packet of hot choc mix/tea/coffee....£5.50 up to about £7-8.

    I was very MSE - bought the mug & coaster for my best mate for £4 so will make into a chocolate hamper with some hot choc sachets, a mini whisk & marshmallows - for around £5.50! :D

    Forgot to add, DF's parents are getting a tea-time hamper...2 mugs & teatowels from some battered Boots bargain NT sets, a washable basket from Wilkies, 2 crossword books, 2 packets of tea from Whittards (they've got a sale on so prices are quite good) & a packet of cookies from M&S - MIL is diabetic, so was ages looking for the lowest sugar content, must have looked at every packet of biscuits in M&S today!

    Just got to lay it out & cellophane it for the weekend...they're going to BIL's for Chrimbo, and BIL is visiting on Sat (for footie match) & is collecting their pressie & his daughter's 21st pressie so they don't get damaged.

    Whittards also had bath tub tea bags (£1.75), eye bag tea bags (£1.50) & foot soother tea bags (1.75) for pamper hampers...

    All these baskets are fantastic and have really inspired me! Where do you get the cellophane from? I used to work in a florist/bridal shop and sometimes used theirs but am stuck where to find it now. Cheers!
