Just finished an "orange" themed basket I have done for my cousin's 16th birthday in a few weeks time.

The inspiration came from the fact I had an orange basket in a set of 3 I got in the Pier sale earlier this year lol

In the basket there is a boots naturals bath bomb, shower gel and body scrub (bought on 3for2), a sanctuary mini bubble bath, orange bath srunchie, a peach lipsliders lipgloss, a tangerine jelly bean favoured lip balm (!), 2 small bars of Terry's choc orange and a big bar of Lindt Lindor orange choc bar.



Total spend (inc basket) was about a tenner.

Had a bit of a cellophane disaster (not my day today!) but it doesn't look too bad now i've added a big gold bow...

Bungle, I love the orange theme basket, such a different colour to go with but works so well. It looks fantastic.

I think she got it from The Works couldn't see it myself tho when I looked todya

Thanks...............I tried googling The Works as it rang a bell but can't find a web site for them and wondered if I'd got it right. Have to see if there's a branch near us.

Mine and my DD's reindeer - just need a bit of ribbon and then done.


Mixing bowl - I made 5 different versions but this is two of them, and one wrapped

savingholmes

Sorry - I resized my pictures to medium and used the image code but don't know what else can do. Really chuffed with my little reindeer.:j

This is it wrapped - missed it off before

The mixing bowls average 70-80p depending on size, then the mummy's little helper aprons 49p from Wilkos, Whisk about 41p, Spoon about 30p, sweet strands average 20p each and then cookie shape cutters split up a few sets so 75p to £1 per bowl, cake cases about 25p. Cake or cookie mix approx 70p. Spatulas - I split up a set so about 25-50p each... The gold bow - put on expertly by daughter 25p Wilkos. So approx £4-5 all inclusive. I also put angel delight equivalent in for about 21p as I thought that was something their age group 4-7 could make. In my DD's she got the luxury version - cookie mix and cake mix and a rolling pin. I also split a pack of icing writing between some of them which works out about 50p a time as it was a pack of 5 or 6. My DS asked where his was - and he is double her age!;)

Wilkos have heart shaped and star tins for £1 each. In Sainsbury's this was more like £5 although that had a few different ones in. I split winnie the pooh cookie cutters between the bowls £1.50 in the sale at Sainsburys and also got a white £1 version from Wilkos which had an actual gingerbread man shape.
