    Hogshead when I saw your hamper using a supermarket display box I thought what a great idea and today I re-arranged the contents of the notebook display box in order to create an empty one:rotfl: thanks for the idea - now I just have to fill it for ds teacher:D

    Rainmac - love the hamper. That cup cake basket is gorgeous. I spotted some pastel yellow napkins in Asda with a cupcake design on them. I think they were about £1 for 20.
  • I bought some bits for mils birthday today and saw a nice little basket in poundland so decided to make a basket :)
    Basket £1
    Pink gardening gloves and pruner £1
    Mint imperials 62p
    Petunia seed set £1
    Mug £1 (will fill with tea bags)
    lavender room spray 15p!! (avon glitch ages ago ;))
    pic of ds in frame 84p
    Will post pics when im done. Im going to add a tag saying 'nannys favourite things' and list the stuff.
    She's also got a few other little things, im rather well known now for getting our parents/my nan a biggish pressie then lots of little ones:rotfl: (me, go overboard? never!)

    Sorry Rusty, I thought the bedtime bath stuff could be used by adults too....cuz we've got sensitive skin in our house, I don't buy perfumed products anyways. But I'm glad your neighbour is feeling better!

    I like the idea of sending a hamper to each other....maybe we could be assigned a fellow poster & list the things we would put in a 'virtual' hamper for them & the others have to guess who we got:rotfl: :rotfl:

    These are an absolute bargain and make fantastic 'baskets' to fill for cooks. They are very, very heavy so no good for posting...

  • I want to do my friend a basket as a thank you present for asking me to be her maid of honour at her wedding. I thought i will give it to her on the day of her hen party. So far i have got bottle of champagne, bubbles in champagne bottle, candle. Garter, hand cuffs, willy toothbrush, willy chocolates, can anybody think what else i could add and how i can display it all.
    Thanx in advance :beer:
