    Hmmm. Germany is, perhaps, a little too far to travel.
    I shall keep a look out for them in places a little nearer.
    Hopefully someone on here will be able to point me in the right direction.

    Here are my attempts which I created after reading this inspiring thread. They are Italian themed hampers for my mum and MIL.

    Just have to wrap them in cellophane now which I am dreading slightly - looks really difficult!

    They look great, well done!
    The cellophane part is trial and error but I am sure you will soon get the hang of it. Just make sure you have an extra pair of hands nearby to give you a hand the first couple of times until you work it out. I am sure you will be fine!!!
