    oh can i just be cheeky and ask where abouts the multi tool was in wilkinsons?
    thank you
    I think it was near the camping stuff... otherwise near the gardening stuff.

    Hope that helps.

    I love the basket SavingHolmes!! I would have been stingy and split the 3 baskets up for 3 hampers though mwahaha :D
    It crossed my mind....;) I do like the whole looking generous thing tho....

    I'm really chuffed - I've just got a wii fit for DS for Xmas. Had £50 in vouchers for a particular store so was really limited but got one today:j Prior to MSE I would have just opened it and used it now and got him something else for Xmas so at least I am improving!:p

    :j Also got 3 x £1.50 T shirts from Primark that are really cool. One is a skeleton playing a base guitar, one says "I'm not lazy, I'm on a break" and one says UFM - unidentified family member and has a picture of 3 stick people plus an alien! So he's pretty much sorted now. It's his birthday within a few days of Christmas though but I'm hoping to earn vouchers for that and then get him some CDs or games nearer the time.:j

    Bought these hat boxes today at QS Stores they were £2 for a set of 3, and are ideal for hampers, for little girls. Diameters of boxes are 19cm 17cm 15cm.
    I'm going to put a few pink girly things in one for my niece I think she will love it!

    They had lots of other boxes in different shapes and sizes too very reasonably priced.

    QS is a store which sells clothes and housewares mostly, the clothes are really cheap not great but the housewares are nice. Boxes, cushions, vases, pictures ornaments and bits and pieces all really cheap. I am in East Anglia and there are quite a few shops here but I don't know if they are nationwide.

    Just found their website but I can't see the hat boxes on there but you could see if there are any stores near you, using the store locator, HTH.
