I got samples from Clipper for a hamper but they say "Free Sample" all over them - really annoyed! Ah well, they're free, I'll just have to drink them myself

I was pleased with the redbush ones as they have nothing about them being a sample. I just had a thought, we are staying in a b&b this weekend, I think I will take my own tea bags and keep the ones in our room for the hamper!

I knew someone who discovered on moving day that the previous owners had taken the light switches!! :eek:

This happened to me they also took every socket cover leaving the wires hanging and the dado rail from each room!!!

I can't believe people would do that! Some people take money saving to the extreme hehe

Thanks for adding to the list RustyFlange, I forgot loo rolls when I moved into my first house so I'll deff be putting that in the hamper!:cheesy:

Forget the cardboard box toi put the hamper in ... you could be even more MSE and buy them a washing up bowl and tie a ribbon round it

Haven't thought of anymore as yet

does anyone know where I can get any tea samples for my tea hamper? I have just recieved some from redbush today. Also any ideas of what else I can put in my tea hamper would be great.

No idea about the tea samples, but saw a book on the bookpeople website for €4 about how to read tea leaves, looks quite cute and quirky? If interested, the web addy is http://www.thebookpeople.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10051_47524_100_500020__category_
(hope I've done that right!)

Put together a car wash bucket of goodies for my dad's birthday...



Only got a pic of it wrapped as forgot to take one before I started with the cello!

The bucket contains: car shampoo, car sponges x 2, car wash brush, interior wipes, demister pad, insect/tar remover spray, wheel cleaner spray, car air freshner & big bottle screen wash. All bits come from either Tesco or Wilkinsons and cost under £12 altogether plus wrapping. The tag is a wooden door hanger I made for his study door (works quite well as a tag!)

Not a freebie but the Twinings fruit tea bags that come in variety packs are indivicually wrapped. From memory you get five individually wrapped tea bags of four different flavours in each pack, so you could use one or two of each flavour per hamper and that way a box would do severaly hampers. I think they cost about a pound a box.

Hope that helps.

A garlic press is always handy, clothes pegs too. My son is moving out for the 1st time in a couple of weeks and I was thinking of doing him a little hamper of kitchen cupboard basics like salt, pepper, herbs, vinegar etc.
