Thank you very much

THe cellophane is fab though, I got it from ebay they are little pink leaves and it looks so much better in real life - rubbish camera

Theres loads of variety out there i didnt realise how much!!!

It's a lot better than I thought, because funnily enough, I've got a basket open with the supplier that I use ....and they're selling that one at the moment! (cheap lol)

I've just added it to the basket lol, and gold leaves are good too I made the mistake of getting too much that said 'Seasons Greetings' on it so I opted for polka dots, and stars. The stars one's lovely, but I was literally seeing stars at the end of the Christmas hampers

You've done really well

THank you Yes they loved them. So now i think I might go a bit basket crazy

the bows were really easy to do too, took me a minute to work out how they work though

Was thinking about a garden hamper for my SIL birthday present - loads of nice pink gardening tools

I ruined a couple of bows thinking they were harder to do than they were

As for gifts, I've bought in the Boots sale, vandalised all the gift sets lol, and just generally rearranged them into different boxes That way people don't look at them and think 'Boots 75% off sale' ...i hope!

I almost got a stapler as i thought the marking were where you stapled them together - the shame!!!!

But it was just a matter of giving them a pull so sussed it in the end LOL

I just had a thought, I am going to do a doggy hamper for my 'Granddog' ( long story!) as I always buy christmas gifts for my DD1's dog. I have already sent for a free sample of biogegradeable poo bags! and I am going to see what else I can get for free and wrap them all in a small doggie bed or something any ideas appreciated:)
