    Was just looking through my favourites list and found a site I had saved from last year on here http://www.candigifts.co.uk/ they have some lovely things on there. Postage is quite high but you could maybe club together with someone else and split the cost. HTH

    Thanks tab1967 I have been looking for some baskets for my dd and sd who are both expecting baby boys in a couple of months, they have just what I wanted, white baskets with blue gingham.

    Just wanted to say also what an great threat this is, thank you all for inspiring me I can't wait to get started on my hampers, I have lots of ideas I just hope they turn out as good as all of yours.

    For anyone doing Gardening baskets Woolworths/BigW has reduced their gardening stuff drastcally. Not been myself but OH said there was lots of smaller items. The only thing he mentioned was a ' Paint your own Gnome' which was a £1. But he was more interested in the Garden lights etc so did not pay too much attention!

    I've just wrapped the baby basket I have done for my friend who has just had a baby girl. Here it is (all ribboned and ready to go):

    And this is it open before I sealed it so you can see all the contents.

    100_2248.jpg

    It's got the following in it:Baby bath, baby lotion, nappies, Loony Tunes bottle, Piglet Bib, Baby Wipes and Baby clothes (Sleep Suits, T-shirt, Trousers, Dress and lil socks).

    I really enjoyed this hamper so I need lots more people around me to have babies!! lol :rotfl:
