My family consists of 13 relatives, then there is my son and my daughter then when I met OH there was his lot aswell which consists of another 8 so there is 25 of us including me, OH and the kiddies :eek: We only buy for 20 though

You can get another 15% discount by using the coder FF15 if that helps anyone.

Oh and I've used them before with no problems at all, the only thing you need to remember is that if you do need to return anything which is not faulty you have to pay for return postage, so please do bear this in mind.

Hi
could anybody tell me what size muffin cases to use with the face cloths.They look fab :T and i really want to give it try. Thanks.x

Rusty, your baskets look fab and so much for the £ - well done you

Mariae - the cases are from ebay - they come from Malaysia/ Hong Kong/ China (I'm sure it's one of these but can't remember which one!). To my knowledge you can't buy this kind of case in a shop. This is the seller we've used... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Baking-Frenzy_CAKE-CASES_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZ1QQfsubZ16285083QQftidZ2QQtZkm. HTH

Here's my latest basket, it's a relaxing pamper basket for a friend who's a mum. I've made some lemon bath salts and put them in a pretty glass jar from Ikea (£3?), made a flannel cupcake (40p?), put some vanilla tealights (from a massive pack from Ikea) in a cello bag (approx 20p), body puff (39p), face mask (free, had already), Winnie the Pooh little book (from a set I've split up - one book 50p), 3 glass tealight holders (Ikea 29p each), mini wooden scoop for bath salts (75p from cook shop locally), door hanger on front of wrapped present (approx £2). Basket was around 70p from a set. Homemade tag and vellum envelope (30p?). Total cost approx £9 not including cello and bow.

Pics don't really do it justice, it looks really pretty, very pleased with it
