  • Got my first basket wrapped today - we only got the christmas tree up last night!

    It's for my Aunt. Here it is wrapped & unwrapped

    She's a bit difficult to buy for - I only see her about once a month and she doesn't really need or want anything - and she's not a fan of chocolate.

    Candle holders - 99p from Ikea
    Candles - £2.49
    Bubble Bath - 99p from Asda
    Unazukin - 49p from Home Bargains
    Basket - £2.50

    Total - £7.46

    I'm quite pleased with how posh this basket looks (I'm totally not artistic!) Off to wrap the next one now!

    Sammz is that a Pink Petticoat image on the tags?
  • right i've had a go at the toffee tree thingy and i dont' mind it un-wrapped, but i can't leave it like that, as all the toffees all fall over.

    a bit late in the day but I bought a
    roll of cellophane localy its 24 inches
    wide and there is 20 metres on the roll
    I have found this width easier to use
    and a lot less waste.
    it was £3 just popped it on my scales and
    reckon it would be £2.25 to post.
    they only had clear but if anyone is looking
    for a roll just get in touch.
