Rusty how much do the tesco bags cost?

Thats a good idea to put the gift inside a reusable bag like that

Someone posted a link to this site somewhere, may be on this thread. Company sell reusable jute bags with fab slogans on them. Including some Xmas ones! I think they are £3.50 each + p&p (which I don't think is much). I'm thinking of ordering one or two of the chocolate ones for chocolate hampers and a couple of the Xmas ones.

Sorry for completely butting in but they are £3.50 each. Can be quite hard to find them

The cath kidson bags are 3.00 each saw them yesterday.My local tesco had hessian ones that just had a small ladybird in the bottom corner too they were either 1.00 or 1.20 can't remember which.
More lovely hampers ladies. love the organza bags too very lushious looking.

Some great ideas there for my son's hamper - thanks so much. I've never posted photos before but will definitely post this one - if someone can tell me how to do it! I have a digital camera but the uploading bit sounds tricky!!

Hi


Anyway, my reason for posting is that I've found a website that does decent sized Organza bags for putting 'stuff' in that just doesn't look quite right in a basket......http://www.islepac.co.uk/
Have a look - http://s372.photobucket.com/albums/oo168/katerinababa/
I've also put on there a couple of baskets full of Boots free goodies that I did for a couple of local charities.

Have checked out the site, loving the organza bags, but have to phone in my order as I live outside the UK, so will have to wait till Monday. Your pictures are fabulous, anyone would love to receive them, can I be cheeky and ask about the contents of the baskets, and how much the organza bag and contents cost altogether please?

Just to say I've bought three bags from here and they are great. The service is quick and the bags are really sturdy and great quality. I got 'Mums are Good', 'Nans are good' and 'Girls are Good'.

Katerinababa I love those Time Delay bags. I've acquired quite a few Time Delay bits with the tillspits so might half-inch that idea. Just got to decide which colour bags to go for....

Have actually just given my inlaws a 'basket' belated bday present it was actually a plastic window box filled with goodies I did remember to take a photo and will try and upload it when I'm home!

Thought I'd share some bits I've been collecting for my Chinese hamper for the outlaws Xmas present. I bought this book for £4.99 (used a free p&p code on voucher board). Got a wok from Wilkos for £2.50 this week. Have bought soy sauce, oyster sauce, jar of chinese 5 spice, couple of small tins of veg like water chestnuts from Tesco (been on offer due to Olympics), jasmine rice (on offer), green tea with jasmine (on offer), 2 bottles Tiger beer (£3 for two offer in Tesco).

Need to buy fortune cookies, prawn crackers and chopsticks and then I think I will be done! Oh and some kind of oil, sesame maybe?

I have got an oriental cross stitch (free gift with a magazine) I am hoping to get done and framed to add to the basket, along with a 'menu/list' of everything in the basket.

Is there anything I could/should add?

Home Bargains have got Fortune Cookies at the moment, can't remember the price, but it won't be much.
