Some great ideas here for an indian theme basket

would love to use the tandoor as a basket full of stuff,i guess a large terracotta flower pot filled with straw would look nice instead

Has anyone evrmade those marshmallow/flump characters?(assorted sweets on a kebab stick)

Also the chocolate bouquets is ther a tutorial anywhere

and finally i dont want to splash out on cupcake cases as only need a couple could i cut a ring from cardboard instead?

if anyone is looking for scented candles, Sainsbury have loads of different votives, wax filled glasses & sets of candles reduced. Different sizes and prices but I got a gardenia wax filled glass for £1.66 comes with gold filigree pattern on the glass and smells gorgeous as does the pink lemonade & mint which is £1.33 for the votive and £2.66 for the candle.

there were too many to remember the prices and they've also got tall, conical candles in red or cream reduced (perfect for Christmas) - they have them in other colours but not in sale. can't remember how much they were though

Hi there

I have been reading this thread for a while now just lurking. All ur baskets look fab. I have decided to make some gift hampers at xmas but that just seems so far away I wanna make one now lol

Anyway my best friend from school is getting married on the 9th and I thought I could make her and new hubby a basket so I can use my new cello and pull bows! I just need some ideas of what I can put in it really as I already have brought the argos vouchers that they wanted. I dont wanna spend a lot at all and I dunno how much I can get to the shops as I'm not well at the mo.

Any idea's greatly appriciated, joking/rude ones etc r also welcome

made a small present:rotfl:
