Finished baskets!!

NemoToad

Thank you Maria. I think if this basket is a success and I want to make anymore I'll use ebay, but as I'm giving this one on Saturday (I've been very late in organising it) I'll have to try the few remaining shops! Those heart baskets are lovely though!

Thanks Chris as well, they sound nice and it will make the detour to Morrisons worth it, if they at least sell baskets in some stores. Ours is quite big and has a home section so hopefully they'll be okay!

I'll post pictures later if this is a success!

I thought I'd share my bits and pieces that I bought the other day for my novelty hampers.

Where did you get the 3d puzzles from? What are the yellow men? Dare I ask about the miracle fish?

Hi, my children loved these little yellow men, they had great fun in Evesham with them, taking photos of them all over the place. Cheapest things are always the most fun.

I am thinking now.. what about a little hamper for kids so they can do this take your man around the world idea? of.. a lunch box as the base with a flask, a note pad and cool pen and a disposable camera with one of those little men and a poem.. something like.. and don't laugh at me please!!:
