    I agree Rusty, the basket is fab and I'd love to receive one for Christmas.

    For those peeps like me who are skint try looking in charity shops for mugs etc. I bought a lovely set of 4 large mugs made by Marks & Spencer - they are pale blue with white spots and look totally unused, they cost me £2.50 for the set - so they may go in one hamper or I will split them between 4 hampers.:j

    Hi I bought them from wickes cause there was a £10 voucher kicking about ... however since then I have seen them in Woolworths for £1 each, they are a similar size but I had already bought mine (I looked everywhere for them locally, then ventured out to the next town for the first time ever and found them there! :()

  • those who are on a tight budget raid your cupboards before you buy! I have just found a pack of 6 shot glasses and a lovely mug which will be ideal to go in hampers.
