Yep, pink theme it is ... I definitely need to get some pink paper but have rearranged like you suggested - it looks better already. Thanks for the advice :T

That looks lovely and I love the silver basket idea. Phuff to you other half! :rotfl:

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks these would have been useful but nowhere in the Glasgow/East Kilbride/Clydebank/Braehead area have them in stock.

In fact the nearest store that has them is Dundee.

Unfortunately a bit far from me

That looks fantastic - I would love to get that. Don't listen to your OH - he doesn't know what he is talking about.

BabyElephant, it looks fab now, I did one of these for charity last week and picked up a hand towl and flannel reduced in Tesco - I wasn't restricted by colour though and the reduced ones were a mint green (I was going to get peach but couldn't bring myself to pay more when I saw the mint ones reduced ) this moneysaving lark is taking over my life - anyway the colour looked great....sorry for the waffle...I would be over the moon to receive it anyway and i only hope mine look as good.

On that subject, I really need to get my stuff out and sort my baskets out soon, but I did get some little organisers to do the retro sweetie boxes (on another thread) so I am doing ok...

Can't wait to see more pictures!!

I've been looking on ebay for ideas for hampers and I cam across this seller!

Her hampers are gorgeous and its given me some great ideas. This is my favourite one but if you look at her other item, she has some other great ones.

Before anyone asks, its not me, lol! Although she does live very near me, i'm almost tempted to ask her if she'll let me come round and give me some hamper wrapping lessons!

PinkButterfly, there are some great ones on there, quite a good idea for a business really, I would have thought they would go down well at Christmas fairs...
