I wrapped al my baskets tis morning and they are now under my tree in gift bags , and my preggo brain didn't remind me to photograph them first . I am really happy with how they look and hopefully everyone else will be hapy with the contents.

I did have to laugh ,my sister was telling me the other day not to expect much for christmas as they were only spending £5 on each person this year ( they are getting married in may so saving hard). when I worked it out I have spent a total of £3.75 on her lovely looking basket but I don't think I'll point that out to her .

Well I am on a tight budget this year...so tight I really don't have the funds for frilly dressing either.
So These are the 2 hampers for my sisters.



My sister has just passed her test and they have bought a new car so I thought I would put together Car care box.

It includes...
Some car air fresheners
A tin of de-icer
A de-mister pad
A dashboard thermometer
A Triplewax buffer
A lock de-icer key
A windscreen scraper




My other sister has just moved in with her boyfriend but I don't really know him very well so in this box I have...

A bottle of wine
Several sachets of cappuccino
Several sachets of coffee
Several sachets of hot Chocolate
Some candles
An Ashtray (I know they both smoke)
and a box of cigarrette papers.

I will be wrapping them later.

I also have a couple of baskets to make up for my sisters with my home made vodkas and chocolate shot galsses in but my cat has other ideas...

Busydaffodil honey, I made these myself, I have 3 of these left over from last year. If they are of any use to you just send me your address and I'll post them to you for free. They wouldn't be a plaything for a little one though as 2 of them have googaly(sp) eyes.
Genuine offer, I myself have only had good experiences from ebay but it makes my blood boil to hear about the not so good ones.

OMG I missed this! Just spotted my PM. Would REALLY love them if its not too late? How kind of you to offer them to me.
Will PM you my address.
THANK YOU!
