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

Ruby - I think it looks gorgeous - nice to see you in this section. The works had cute animals quote books in for £2 - the doggy fashion book I bought was 99p so keep an eye out for bargains. With the towel's pink colour behind it looks fab - you could always put tinsel shred in or do what another poster did and put some pink or coloured paper through a shredder to line your basket....:T

I really liked the plastic dish you put your cupcake thing in - it looked like an icecream dish - I thought it was gorgeous....

Are you still looking for ideas? What about magic reindeer dust?

Mix porrige oats and glitter.

The smell of the oats attracts the deer and the glitter guides santas sleigh.

There is a ditty to put on the bag but sorry I cant remember it! Maybe someone on here will know?

I had a bit of a dilemma this week it was my lovely Bampy's birthday (sorry thats a Welsh saying for Grandad) and all he wanted was money. I put some money in his card but the night before I thought about doing a little hamper of his favourite things. I rushed down to Asda and filled it with a fishing magazine, 2 large bars of his favourite chocolate, Fairtrade coffee for his new gadget (a coffee machine) and his very favourite thing of all a pack of dougnuts (!!!). He was so pleased so I'd like to say thanks to everyone for the inspiration.
I wasn't able to arrange it as well as I wanted but needless to say it didn't stay wrapped wrong he was busting a gut to get at the doughnuts LOL xx
