After recent inspiration from here we are doing mini hampers of all different sorts for our christmas fayre in November.I asked a local charity shop to save us any baskets that came in and we picked up 27 assorted sized baskets for 10p each ...bargain!!! Apparently they usually throw them out as no one wants them. Just gave them a hose down with the shower head and they are now drying off on newspaper. Already have lots of donated goodies so won't have to buy much to finish them, and they should make a few quid:j

please can you tell me which charity shop it was-thanks!

Hi all

Got a brochure today in work with some lovely garden items (not sure if good price as dont buy them myself) but i thought they might give people some ideas for doing gardeners hampers

www.ablegardener.co.uk

Thanks! Just had a look at that website and it has certainly given me a few ideas for a hamper for MIL. :T

It is my ex-MIL's birthday at the beginning of November, so inspired by all the hamper threads, I decided to do her a "Purple Pamper Hamper" for the kids to give her:

I bought 3 metres of plain cellophane from my local florist. She charged me £1.00 a metre (which I thought was a bit expensive). When she cut it she did it on the surface where she prepares flowers so it's covered in tiny bits of plant/flowers/dirt/dust. :mad:

Thanks. I spend a lot of time in charity shops and you can find some real bargains.

I showed your 'Car Care Hamper' to my 8 year old daughter, and said we could do something like that for her dad. She laughed....definitely not at your hamper (which looks fab), but because my ex (her dad) doesn't "care" for his car at all :rotfl:
