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

Well done for remembering. I see them often & wonder if I am alone in shelf reorganisation :rotfl: .
Some pretty cool colours around too so maybe I'll repost the pic to remind people of the idea.

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:

£1 shop have those pink cowboy hats. Upturn that to use as the 'box' & once she opens the hampers she can wear the contents, hat & all.

what cracking baskets you have all done....I gave my dad his early father's day present early last week and that included a garden pot ( poundshop(£1) in it I put bulbs and flowers (poundshop £2) a bar of choc (£1..local garden centre 1/2 price) 2 pics of his granddaughters ( priceless) and 2 cans of beer. It was so nice to see him looking through it.

Will have to have a go at dh basket for children to give him now and fil basket. Will have a go at putting it on here if I get the time and can work out how to do it!

Regards,

Mr and mrs t

Your dad's pressie sounds great mr & mrs t!!! Please have a go at putting a photo on of your next one - seriously if I can work it out, anyone can do it :rotfl: Have to say if I put little pictures on that you can click on and make them bigger they often come out sideways . No idea why but everyone must get cricks in their necks looking at my photos!!! :rotfl:

Chocolate body paint? A pic of both of them in a lovely frame? You could also make up a cd of songs that are special to them, and print out a picture of them as the cd cover?

hello everyone, not sure if this is where I should be posting but thought it might be a nice idea for a basket. Vistaprint sent me an email stating all orders over €20 for the next 48 hours are sent free delivery. Had a look on the website and have decided to buy a set of; A4 letterheads (10), notepad, sticky notes, pen and rubber stamp. All of these items are free, but because I haven't spent 20 the delivery cost is €8.66. I think this is worth it though because I took some time and matched them all up (apart from the rubber stamp), the design I chose is really cute with dresses and shoes but there are loads of designs. There is also a free fridge magnet, but that isn't appropriate for what I'm planning on using this for. I'm planning on making a writing basket (does that make sense?) Will get a small shoe box, decorate it in the same colours as matching stationary set, add some stamps and plain envelopes (the matching envelopes were a bit pricy) and hopefully it'll look lovely? If anyone is interested, the web address is www.vistaprint.ie

Hi eden123, I am absolutely no expert when it comes to the old cellophane but if my sides are short I selotape them to the longer bits in order to enclose the basket. Does that make sense?
