    I've been so impressed with all your baskets I'm planning on making Pamper ones for my female relations for xmas but in the meantime my little sisters moving into her first home with her boyfriend and I wanted to make them a hamper filled with all the little things you forget to buy when you get your first home, so far I've come up with:

    Bottle opener/Corkscrew
    Tin opener
    Pizza cutter

    As you can see I'm not doing to well, if anyone can add anything to this list that would be great.
    Thanks

    Hi bebebelle, If you scroll further down I gave lots of different ideas to put in it, and also sugested a washing up bowl as the actually basket. (more practical than a basket.

    If you can't find it I will dig it out but it is only a few posts down from that one!

    Here is a coffee/hot choc basket for OH's mum - going to try and get some of the mini whisks and nice teaspoons to add to it. The cups both say Coffee on them.

    Shaz - that basket is lovely. It looks a lot more expensive than £2.

    might need a bit of padding in the bottom....
