I must say that lots of the contents are bargains. Even the more expensive looking items. The champneys stuff was one third off and the Boots cream I used my voucher and the champagne was 70p direct from France (my friend went on a booze cruise!)

Kaja your baskets are excellent and full of ideas for mine now! Where did you get the baskets from? I am struggling to find any being in a small town and I was away yesterday and still didnt have any luck!

Awww, they look superb!


I've been busy hunting out bargains to fill up my baskets/hampers etc and am hoping my bf has caught onto all my hints and is making me one for Xmas too!

A big THANK YOU to everybody on here for all hte inspiration - i was dreading this year due to have very little money but have managed to but together some presents i'm really chuffed with thanks to all the wonderful tips on here!

kaja - they look lovely! I would echo what the person said about wrapping the marshmallows in cellophane, or failing that.. Asda are selling some small boxes of chocolates, including belgian seashell chocolates for £1, which, wrapped up in cellophane with some ribbon tied around the top and curled, *really* looks the business.. i did this for my nan's present!

well done though, your basket looks better than mine!!!

I bought the same baskets in Morrisons, I think they were about £6.99 for three.

Well done on the baskets, what really shines through is how much thought you've put into them. The recipients are going to be thrilled to bits!

I have also finished mine and I'm really pleased with the finished products, lots of thanks for the ideas on here.

Only one disaster. I had bought some really fancy bottles containing cooking oil and despite them being corked and sealed they leaked slightly onto some baseball caps and socks. A lesson learnt and now I have extra cooking oil in my cupboard!
