Finished baskets!!

Wow there are some fab hampers in this thread. I made 2 last year for my grandparents and they absolutely loved them ( My nanna was in tears! ) so I've decided I'm going to make some again this year. I loved going out and buying bits and pieces for them and think its a lovely personal thing to do. Just bought some cellophane off ebay ( I never even thought of checking there last year so ended up spending a fortune on a silly little amount ). Now going to see if I can find some reasonably priced baskets... anyone know a good place to start?

Thanks !

Rusty, how about this sort of 12x12 paper to wrap a box for your OH pressie...



I googled black & white stripe scrapbook paper and this one is from http://cutencrafty.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2950&source=googleps

hello everyone I have not posted on this thread before but read everyday. I love all the excellent baskets its really inspired me to have a go myself.

for all those that are doing kids baskets I've been in woolworths today and they have a lot of crafty stuff for kids at half price, I bought

set of fluffy top pencils 6 pk £1.00
pk of 10 small play dough £1.50
2pk of safety scissors 75p

but they had lots of other stuff cross stitch and all sorts. I also picked up some good bargins in primark.

Thanks for this, I am doing a crafty box for my OH's friends children (suggested by Rainmac) and these will be fantastic to add in. Also thinking about 2 little make your own wand and tiara kits from ELC

been to woolworths today
they had the sweet boxes with compartment for a £1 only yellow though
they also had for anyone doing a kids gardening hamper a kids little set of kneeling pad, mini fork, mini trowel and some other mini tool (cant remember what it was now) reduced to a £1
also had kids gardening gloves reduced to 25p

couldnt find any other bargains
