VWCampervan that looks fantastic! Well done .... I am going to start putting together 2 baskets today, one for my children on christmas eve and the other for OH's friends children for christmas. Tired mom has kindly sent me 2 aprons from Wilkos as my local one doesn't have them so once they arrive I have another basket finished off

My youngest sisiters birthday is in a week, and I thought I would do some sort of hamper for her,

I have been looking at the ones done here and they are amazing, I dont think mine will be up to that standard but want to give it a shot,

With her being 18 and so, its easist to base it round alcohol or something like that but would like to put loads of stuff into it,

I have bought a personalised shot glass for £2 off ebay
I have bought a champange bottle charm braclet for her LOL bracelet

I am going to get her some mini bottles of wine, mini vodka bottles, and thought maybe pjyamas (cant go wrong) candles, smelly stuff

Please girls, help me out I could do with help,


I looked through about 60 pages of this thread and couldnt see anyone that has done this before,

Thanks

What about making some flavoured vodka. Apparently it's really easy to make Skittles Vodka and Mars Vodka using a dishwasher! my friend did warn me though that if you make Skittles Vodka take out the green ones or it ends up brown!

You could also put in some paracetamol for those hangovers?

What about a book of drinking games?

I made strawberry vodka with red skittles was really easy

Hello everyone, after being completely inspired by the pictures and posts on here, I decided to make 6 christmas baskets for my family and friends this christmas. I have purchased six of everything and aim to keep the total cost to £15 pp max. I am still waiting for my cup cases to arrive from eBay and also my baskets. So this morning I have attempted to put a mock up basket and cup cake together with the stuff I have so far and I think it doesn't look too bad.
The actual baskets will be shallower, hence the second picture with a towel in the bottom!!

What do you think?

The plan is to still add heart chocolate, mini bottle of wine and maybe if the budget stretches a very small book on friendship or motherhood or something, I am hoping to spend no more than a £1 on these so here's hoping.

Thanks

I just hope I have given myself enough time to do this, yeah, bath bombs sound good, I dont have a dishwasher so dont know if I can still make the flavoured vodka,

I think a little book of drinking games sounds ideal, I am just going to nip along to a few local shops and see what they have, if they have little I will head into Glasgow and see what I can get

I will keep you updated on this little project,

Thank you
