Finished baskets!!

RustyFlange

Well I finally got round to printing out a picture of the children to put in the frame for my grans basket. Then I wrapped it.

Total of approx £7 spent. Value approx £15 ish.


The brown underneath the hamper is a pair of fleecey pj's for my gran as she feels the cold and I simply wrapped them in parcel paper just so the colours didn't clash with the basket.

Approx 33 nappies (for her age probably size 4 or 4+?) you don't need anything to stick the tiers together as they just sit nicely on top of each other if you make each tier with slightly less nappies.

Rainmac/Rusty sorry for butting in just wanted to say, my little one is almost 12mths - he is in 5+ pampers! :eek: Maybe my little one just has a big bum like mummy :rotfl: But it might be worth seeing if you can sneak a peek at the size in mums changing bag? Bigger ones would be fine but if too small they wouldn't be of any use

I haven't posted my hampers yet this year but hope to do so soon, still making and gathering all my fab little bits for them :j

Thanks for that. I agree some are in bigger sizes ... my daughter is quite chubby and has 4+ but mainly cause she never stops drinking and we need it to hold more. However they are slightly too big for her. she is 16 months. I should have thought of
that as my mates little boy who is 18 months is in 5+ and has been since he was 8 months old :eek:

Maybe sneaking a peek in nappy bag is a good idea ... I can picture Detective rainmac trying to sneek into a nappy bag :rotfl:

can i ask for ideas again please

dads 60th coming up wanted to make something along the lines of maybe 60 things
not sure what to do though any ideas
thanks

I know when people get to 60 and over they have pretty much everything. So the scrapbook ideas great, how about putting a picture in for every year or decade ( every year might be to much) of his life. Then adding (writing about) key moments of what have happened. Like the year you were born and other things like that and adding pictures to match. :rotfl:

Oh and also the racing Grannies and Grandads are amazing little gifts to add to hampers. My Nana and Grandad love them. HTH..x

Another reply....
As a little add in to the toolbox hamper how about toffee pack with a little hammer into brake it up. There so sweet and would be prefect for a little treat.

I cant send the exact link because my computers playing up. I know its on 24studio.co.uk under sweets and treats. But you may be able to find it cheaper.

Being a 60 plus my son is always at a loss so he''s now in the process of compiling a series of dvd's - photos with music of him and his brother, me and OH ..........the one I got for mums day was of places we'd been...........I think the next one is 'faces'.........so it'll build up to a nice little collection and he had some photographs that he'd taken himself and I'd not seen. The rest were mine but they all looked so different how he'd done them.

Rusty - super hamper and what a lovely idea to put a photo on the side of it..............well done:T

I'll be on the case with the nappies . My son is 20 months and wears size 5 Pampers so I was going to get size 4 or 4+ but think it's best to check what she wears now - good plan. I'll don my sunglasses and see what I can find out!!! Listed a free star earlier, thanks for that Rusty, great idea
