    Ok, I've had a bit of a sort out of some of what I've gathered together for my baskets this year and have finished these so thought I'd show some pics...

    Chocolate basket for my brother & girlfriend -

    Another chocolate basket -

    Chinese basket -

    IMGP2227.jpg

    I've bought nearly everything when it's been on offer or in a sale so have saved money all over the place. I've added a New York guide to my brothers as the lucky so and so is off there in January for his birthday.

    Need to add a flannel yule log to the chinese one but I've run out of ribbon.

    Going to wrap them in gold hessian cello and pop them away, my first completely finished Xmas pressies :D

    they are fab! They look jam packed with goodies! I love the cellophane you used as well

    melon78 I am soooo jealous! we had our garage converted a few years ago into a playroom and I wish ours was as tidy as that. I love all the storage and shelving you have put in.
