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

I just did some hampers with all of the gifts inside wrapped up in tissue paper. I think my other half may have taken a picture of them so i will raid his phone and then try and work out how to post them!! I like giving things wrapped in tissue paper as there is still something to unwrap and considering i was giving them to a 20 and 21 year old i thought they would like that! :j

:T :T Rainmac - lovely presents. I haven't got any little ones to give to now but my kids would have loved these when they were younger. All the kids get so much stuff for Xmas but then get bored and are looking for something to do, these will keep them busy for a good while.

NZK83 Your basket sounds great and I bet it was much appreciated and a lovely surprise.

lindauk vbmenu_register("postmenu_13456641", true); I haven't done one wrapped in tissue nor have I seen one, I think it's agreat idea as keeps the suspense going.

Please post pics - Rose kitten has posted instructions here (even I managed to follow them:rolleyes: )

thanks shellybee, was just wondering how she held everything down to keep it in place

Ok fingers crossed.

Please excuse the pics as they are taken with a mobile phone. Also i don't think these pics do the baskets justice but you get the general idea.





Oh lets hope this works.....
