Thanks Sugar I'm glad you like them. It's wrapped with some opaque cellophane I got from www.flowerhour.co.uk. Like a shimmery colour somewhere between gold and silver (really hard to explain) with a little 'seasons greetings' motif on it. Just tried to find it on their website but they don't seem to have it any more! They do have loads and loads of other gorgeous designs though and not too expensive at all. They were cheaper than my local florist metre for metre, even including delivery and the quality is lovely.

Your wrapping is beautiful!

There's some here on ebay for those of you looking for something similar:

I'm sure it will be fine. Be careful to use strong paper though as you pull it up it may tear. If you are quick you should be able to order some cellophane in time and use that in case you end up in a disaster.

The good thing about the cellophane is you can be quite rough with it and it doesn't tear!

Well, I posted in this thread some time back but was too late to do Xmas Baskets. I did say that I was now organising baskets for Easter.
So far I have purchased the clear film off ebay and the £1.49 cotton lined baskets from Wilkinsons.
Sadly, I have now encountered a problem. I purchased 3 qty knitted ducks off ebay. Purchased them on 21st Nov and have yet to recieve them. I emailed seller who ignored my emails until I requested sellers details off ebay. She then told me they would be posted the end of that week (approx day 9). Listing said 2-3 days delivery. No contact since.
Nothing arrived so yesterday I opened a case in paypal. Today I recieved an email saying shes annoyed at paypal case and that its not an emergency cos Easter is a long was away. She said they were posted on monday (day 11) but again nothing has arrived. Its now day 15!
Its not a great deal of money...but the hassle is ruining my basket experience!
Heres a pic of the little fellows though.
