Thank you needmoney for getting a piccie up -never had problems before but couldnt get a thumbnail up today!

I got a roll from local market for a £1. Seen in post offices too. The paper is much stronger thna most wrapping paper so has been a joy to use!

Thanks I love that look, nostalgic, reminds me of old fashioned cosy Christmases :beer:

Might have been already answered, but there's 74 pages, so i'll ask anyway, where abouts do you get the cellophane from?

All the baskets look amazing! I'll try and post a pic of mine once i'm able to wrap it.

Lots of people buy theres on ebay, I got mine from flourhour ebay shop and I know lots of other people did too.

Other than that, your local florist will have some too.

Looking forward to seeing the hampers!

Rosekitten - those baskets look absolutely gorgeous. I'd feel so spoilt and special if I got something like that . I shall try and keep pics of your hampers in mind for next year so I can try and copy them.
I venture on to the Boots thread now and them and know it's a brilliant thing. However, I must say I get completely overwhelmed and lost because there are so many contributions. I know there is the front page but any other advice on keeping on top of it? How often do you check this thread?!
Thanks
