Hello everyone! Loving the baskets, have been collecting bits and pieces through the year from local shops/car boots etc and am now ready to start packing up, only prob is everyone recommends flowerhour on ebay. i agree their stuff is lovely and great value, unfortunately they only ship to uk. Anyone used another seller they thought had good service? Have been stung by some ebay sellers in the past, not for any big money, but hate waiting on products that never arrive (iykwim)

Rainmac they are lovely!!!! I love the nappy cake it looks really professional and love the sixpence idea.
Where did you get your jar from for the bathsalts (on the left of the pic in creamy yellow colour? I presume they are bathsalts) its lovely. Well done

Thank you, that means an awful lot when you are a professional nappy cake maker!!! The bath salts jar is from Ikea, it's this one...



Called Sagolik, £1.99 for 0.5l size. I've used these for all my bath salts as I love the jar.

Well done on your work - they look fab!
Do you mind me asking what Lemon Oil did you use for the bath salts?

Brilliant glidergirl - wish I'd had a go at one of these when baby grandson was born last year but I'd probably have mucked it up..............lol

I decided as my Dad can be pretty grumpy that I would make him a 'cheerful' hamper. I went into The Works and they has some stressbuster little teddies. One is an elephant and when you squeeze its hand it plays 'always look on the bright side of life". I had to get it, and at £1.99 it wasn't bad.

I also found a Jeremy Hardy double cassette in poundland called "How to be happy" and have a free copy of "Is it just me or is everything great"

They sound just the sort of things for my OH.................he can be a right grump at times....................lol

I think my Dad is going through a male menopause

In all my little baskets I would like to make sure there is something home-made or crafty. For my girl friends that is going to be a mix CD of our fave music and I will do covers on the computer for the CD case. I think for Dad I might do a minibook of "reasons to be cheerful". I think I am going to give him a small bottle of whisky too as he is a bit of a fan!

Right ladies I need inspiration!!

At work (football team) we have a £1 sale and Ive bought about 7 items which Im keeping back for my neice who adores the football team. Going to make her a football basket for christmas Also one of the items is an autograph book which Ive got signed by the team. Sorted!

BUT!

My other neice hates football and I have no idea what to do for her. Seeing as Im giving her sister a basket with lots of little things I want to do the same for her. She likes art, hair and make up stuff, most things pink and high school musical. BUT Ive made her a drawing hamper for her birthday (got some professional drawing pencils cheap:D) so I dont know if the art thing would be a good idea again.

Anyone got any ideas? I know Ill probably end up spending more than normal but Im happy to do this as her sisters present will be super special (thanks to the signed book) so I want hers to be super special aswell.

Help

Oh shes only 8 so I dont really want to get her makeup as Im one of the 'shes too young!!' brigade, lol. I did think about jewellry making stuff, but normally would buy one big kit. BUT want lots of little things instead.
