    The other one was for dd's birthday, and not sure what to use this for yet. I used it in the other picture, to hold some UR shampoo and conditioner.

    I hope she's not looking :eek: lol

    Thanks for the help D-D :)

    Edit: You didn't mean the Easter bonnet box did you? lol



    Yes lol :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Yes lol :rotfl: :rotfl:

    probably store the 4 x Easter bonnets I bought in it :o;)

    If anyone hasn't been to The Works yet, there's still some nifty stocking/basket fillers left. (And empty Easter bonnet boxes in Hornsea Freeport lol)

    Not sure what I did, but it's showing here ok. I'll put an edit in the description. Like popcorn box :D

    They are beautiful. :T:T Your dd is going to be thrilled . The popcorn boxes are lovely, may I ask where you bought those, I have never seen any.

    Thanks crystalclear :) and I've resorted to Googling for the store's name because I never spell it right ;) but it was au naturale. They're quite flimsy, but soon strengthened by the cellophane ;) They're reduced at the mo from £2.50 to £1.25 (for the pack of three)

    None in S. Wales worse luck :mad:
  • Pity you can't buy from the site, I don't have one near me either, would liked to have popped in and picked them up

    That's a shame crystalclear :( and I just looked at them again to see if they'd roll up and I could have sent you some, but they don't. Even as they are they wouldn't be cost-effective to send either.

    I'm sure they can't be exclusive to that store, so I'll have a root around and see if I spot anything similar elsewhere :) They've been mentioned a lot in different posts btw.

    Sorry to bang on about The Works again, but I picked up some black tissue paper for 10p yesterday. Only trouble is I don't know where I've put it now so can't say how many sheets were in the packet :o but it would be good as an alternative to shredding the usual brown, white, pink paper etc.

    I can't remember where you are D-D, but maybe these stores are just northern based? I had a look on ebay, but only spotted the real popcorn boxes so far.

    I'll keep looking in the stores and online - there must be 100's of these about :confused:

    My Daughters hamper as she opened it today, I forgot to take a pic before wrapping

    oh's niece is 21 in September and although we don't buy presents for her usually I feel I should for her 21st. I had planned to do a hamper for her and use loads of Boots stuff that I have already. I was going to put it in a basket but seeing yours i think I will use the S&G set box and make a pink Boots hamper. i think yours looks so pretty. i have got a few pink things (No7 GWP, 17 GWP, pink illum powder, nail varnish) but will now be on the hunt for a few more:D

    I used a bit of black in there too, so added mask, mascara and other no7 make up items. To pad it out and keep things in place I used a bath towel to line the box and a hand towel to attach the mask and give some height HTH
