Finished baskets!!

li'l_p

Mine were a HUGE success. OH's Mum loved hers and said that she could see a lot of thought had gone into it. I had included framed pic of us together in it and she was made up.

My Mum was delighted with hers. The spa lights have gone down as well as I thought, and my Mum has duly set up her bath with the bath pillow and spa lights ready for when she has a pamper.

I am definitely more determined to make a the effort throughout the year to pick up stuff for next Xmas!

My grandma and mum 'in law' were both really, really happy with their 'winter warmers' baskets, and oohing over 'how much thought must have gone into these'... goes to show you don't need to spend huge amounts to give people great gifts... mine amounted to £10 each all in!

These are all FAB! I am inspired and now can't wait to have a go for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Father's Day (see what you have all turned me in to?!)

Anyhoo I was soo blown away by them all that I was showing my mum the photos too and we got chatting about how mum would make my papa one, and how he had such daft tastes so it could never been a themed hamper no matter how she tried, hee hee. Yesterday was our second Christmas without him, but we can't even start to miss him yet because there are still so many silly stories about him to get through...........

I'm doing a manicure hamper this year which I'm going to fill with a manicure set (freebie from Fairy), Rimmel nail polish (another freebie) and a load of stuff I've got for free or just pennies from Tesco with various coupons :j

Hey, we got the same idea....but I extended it to pampering hamper. I got the manicure set from Fairy, Rimmel nail polish, wilkinson razor, dove shower gel (from pigsback) and a few more samples (and all these items comes from the freebie board:j)

I remember looking on websites for gift baskets for newborns and thought I could make them myself for what they are charging!
Its a great Idea and they always have lotsa baskets like that at au naturale!
