Finished baskets!!

RustyFlange

Just a quick idea, ... if you go to Home Bargains they always seen to have the Dr Who action figures and various other things fairly cheap ... Maybe get them all a packet of characters each to start the box off?

What a fab basket Rusty, you are always so clever putting things together

rainmac

Sorry, Rusty forgot to say where did you get your basket, it's lovely!

RustyFlange

Oooh look at me with my small pictures lol

Thanks Bunbun & Rainmac, he loved it, sat for ages trawling through it all ... mother in law moaned that he was pompus enough without having a lord or baron title lol

Rainmac I got the baskets from Au Naturele they were supposed to be £9.99 for 3, that was the smallest one, I used the largest on my partners hamper for fathers day and still have a middle one left. They were reduced to £6.99 but even at £10 they are a great strong basket which holds a lot of weight and a fantastic size

have just got in from lidls borehamwood and they have a stand with 79p stuff on it, including rolls of 500x70cm transparent foil, at first i thought it might be like a thick acetate but it turns out its actually quite thin and perfect for hampers, which i will be putting the first of together tonight for my cousins birthday, big pink mug with hot hoc sachets, mini marshmallows (from a set i broke up) a few choc bars and a pink relaxing eye mask thingy from superdrug (on sale of course) total spend prob about £4, just need soem ribbon to tie up top and a bow.

Hi Rain ... I saw them containers but thought they were quite expensive for what they are

However things you could put in are .... a movie rental voucher (from blockbusters maybe? or a free trial with Love film?) some popcorn (obviously) a couple of 500ml bottles of pop, some minstrels/maltesers/revels (bigger bags to share) bag of nachos? Dependant on how fast you need to wrap it and give it you could also put in a couple of small tubs of ben and jerrys which you can buy from asda

Just a couple of ideas ...
