When I gave a hamper to my mum - she gave me the shredded plastic back to use in another hamper - how MSE is that!:money:

The one I made for my sister, she sent back the cello, bow AND the basket...I was very chuffed:D

:T It's a lovely hamper, well done. I like the cello.
Wish everyone would give me my baskets back it would make my hampers much cheaper

Here are my finished baskets, first ones I have done. There were for my sisters 18th (they are twins) Thanks for all the ideas on here, the baskets cost me £35 each to make but RRP would be a lot more as took advantage of special offers.

Scotmum - Do you have any pics of hampers with each item tissue wrapped first? Just wondered what it looked like finished.

Thanks

Not at the moment will have soon tho! mums birthday in a couple of weeks!! looks lovely, and more of a surprise, I pick a clour theme and stick to it, my mums is going to be pink, pink tissue paper, wicker basket, cello with pink spot, pink ribbon and I have a pink frame that will have a pic of my kids in and it will sit on top on dispay along with a little pink dried flower in a wee bouquet.

Will try to do pics of the items and then them in the basket and finished. Will remember to do a RRP price and actual price this time.....

Its great fun........:j

:T Scotsmum : The ones for your sisters are absolutely gorgeous. :A

I think a recurring theme for me might be... "I've still not bought any cello!" However good from a budget perspective and as some of my fellow basket makers have found - much easier to store that way too... My next person on the birthday list is November and I have a voucher for her so don't need to wrap my baskets until December. Since I'm in debt now anyway - think I may as well wait to buy the cello until closer to the time.

There is a food storecupboard challenge where you try to live off what you've got already. I'm trying to do that with presents and am having reasonable success so far!;) Just been looking through old magazines and taking all the samples out - I used to just throw them away!:eek:

Scotsmum, those baskets are really fab

Shelly, your MIL basket is great, hope she liked it. I like the swirly cello. I've got some blue swirl cello and wasn't sure if I liked it but changed my mind when it was wrapped
