I think you've done a grand job of lining them with tissue! I have been wondering how to conceal mine and have been thinking of big Santa bags but think the tissue is genius! Where did you find that particular style it is really lovely...

Silly question but how did you line the cellophane and get it to stay put?

Here are my attempts at hampers, I have already done four a few weeks ago but they're packed away and I didn't take any pics- oops!

I didn't really do themes for any of them apart from my partners mum which was a bathtime relaxation thing.

I just put things inside each one that I knew the recipient would enjoy/use. I have got 2 more to do yet but I'm awaiting my avon order for last little bits. Anyway......

This one is for my partners aunty:

Hi there Rosekitten

I would be going for a bold colour...dark green, red or probably gold as gold and cream always looks lovely and expensive... its a lovely hamper by the way...

Thank you everyone for your kind words about my hampers!

Pobby and Nicki1306- The tissue paper is from card factory. I think I got 8 sheets of mixtured pink/purple/white/silver patterned and plained for 99p, I bought a few of packs though and used the plain stuff to shred as padding for the bottoms of the hampers.

Unixgirluk- With great difficulty, I basically lay the tissue paper face down on top of the cellophane as I was wrapping the hampers and then as I pulled the cellophane up at the corners to wrap it, I tucked the tissue around the back of the basket. (That is an absolutey rubbish explanation- hope you get what I mean!)

05_cheeky_monkeys- The baskets were from instores about a month ago, they were on sale at the time and really cheap. They're great cos' they've got a lid on and this really makes aranging the contents of the hampers easier.

Debjk- I love your hamper- its amazing! I would love to receive on like that myself (I hope there is someone I know reading this- lol!!!)

Alison- Thanks, I really wasn't sure about the tissue but everyones really kind words on here have really boosted my confidence!

RoseKitten- That hamper looks lovely, I think a gold or silver bow would finish it off beautifully!

Thanks everybody, loving all your hampers too!

rosekitten - I did some botanics hampers and used a silver ribbon to match the silver lids on the tubs. I took some to sell at our village Xmas Fayre
