    That is so kind of you :A but I wouldn't want to put you to all that trouble.

    I'm asking lots of questions about where to buy things as I haven't been here long and every time someone posts their basket I think I'd like to do one like that. I am not very creative so am borrowing everyone's ideas. I am amazed at the talent and ideas. I keep thinking who could I give that one to, each one is so nice I would want to keep them all..
    Also, I am naturally nosey ;)
    Once again thank you so much for your offer it's really appreciated, and shows what a lovely thread this is..

    Wow its lovely, where did you get the basket?
    Hi there, i just thought you may like to ask in your local charity shops for baskets. They normally have loads and sell them very cheaply. Ive had several from 20p upwards. They make great presents, and you are also helping your local charity shop. Hope this helps,

    I always need reminding of charity shops, after reading Mary's posts I always think I must pop in the charity shop and then I head straight for Boots and forget al about them lol

    Thanks for the reminder again

    Well, my Christmas Hampers went down such a storm I'm going again this year and doing Birthdays too.

    First one is next week and have done a book lovers hamper with a book toke, book cover, fancy bookmark and the obligitory mug and not choccy sachets :p

    BIL will be getting a *Chilli* hamper next month and I've not though to much about the other yet other than OH's Bro & SIL for xmas ~ next year they are going on a NY, Las Vegas, Mexican, Hawaii super holiday, I was thinking of doing 4 mini hampers each with a guide book and:
    NY ~ scarves & lip balm
    LV ~ some kind of poker/roulette game
    M ~ bottle of Tequila
    H ~ after sun, etc

    What do you think?

    Will post a pic of the book hamper later :D
