Hi Jamtart6 :j
I got the little baths in Matalan a couple of days ago.
You get 3 for £15, they are slightly different sizes (I still have the small one spare)
They have these white ones and some cute little cream ones also with different writting on the sides (The bathroom specialist - or something similar)

Hope this helps

Hiya! Well it was going to be my Mums but I got hardly any help on the gardening board so I abandoned all hope. My latest idea (which I AM going to do!!) is my "Cruise in a box" which is on a thread on the board, I am feeling really inspired with it and looking forward to trying it out!!! It is great as it has also incorporated some of the presents I have already bought. (details on that post - ive waffled loads on it!!)

i am LOVING this thread, just want to say thanks everyone for all the fab ideas, all my family and friends are going to be getting themed hampers/baskets this year!

i was just wondering if you are all planning on giving them to the recipients just wrapped in cellophane with a bow on, or if you are actually going to wrap them up in xmas paper too? i normally deliver my pressies a couple of days before xmas so i'm thinking otherwise they will be able to see what the gift is rather than waiting until xmas day, but then if it is covered up the contents might all move around out of place!

also, where did you find the cheapest place to get cellophane from was? (sorry if this has already been covered, i am still working my way through the 15 pages!) i am thinking prob ebay but any other ideas?

Thanks

How about wrapping in tissue paper underneath the cellophane?

Anic

When I done mine last year I tried the tissue underneath but personally I thought it took away from the overall effect as it seemed to defeat the purpose of wrapping in cellophane.

I then tried wrapping over the top of the cellophane but thought the same. I eventually bought various gift bags from the pound shop to put them in.

They had loads of different sizes right up to a "humungus" size which was the perfect size for my large "Big Night In at the Movies" Hamper.
