Finished baskets!!

RustyFlange

Thanks Mel. Thats what it is called

Savingholmes thankyou will have a look next time I am in. I am desperate to get these wrapped then I can tick them off the list. Have decided to take a couple of things out of the baskets and then they can be off each other. i.e for my son off his sister and for my daughter off her brother

Gives me more money to spend on different things lol

Hi guys,
I have just spent the best part of a day looking thru the AMAZING hampers/boxes/bags etc that ppl have made!! Now i have been good getting things in the sales and so on and am just about ready to rock n roll!! I need a favour tho- anyone know of any good ideas for male pressies! And by this i mean not beer/choccuies or car things! I nee dsome mens fillers and also some family fillers- hampers for the aunty/uncle/cousins are all going as one family hamper.
So any ideas would be most appreciated! Bear in mind I am in Northern Ireland and we dont have Home bargains over here

Done not a lot today as youngest has been at home all morning coughing.........went off to his mums about 2pm and away till 6pm. Then phone call from older one -reverse charge :eek: phoned him back as he was in a state of panic -something about a number he needed from the tax office for his employer. They won't give it to me so he's got to phone them tonight.He's frightened he won't get paid without the number.............then soc.worker phoned ..............only just got chance to log on.........:eek:
Been trying to finish off door hangers and didn't get very far with young lad prying and poking about...............:mad:

is it me or is it easy to get addicted to finding things to put in hampers!! ive been shopping today and didnt end up even looking for me was too busy looking for hamper things! got some really nice fleecy pjs for my nephew (£3 primark!!) to fill the bottom of his hamper so can just put little goodies on top now and ended up buying loads of those comfy bed socks so i can make everyone sock muffins for christmas! think im addicted now- not sure if thats a good or bad thing hee hee :-p

Hi everyone, been a while since I been on here, I have been busy over on the competitions board. Looks like I have some catching up to do with all the ideas and pics.

Anyway....I found a bargain today in my local pound shop, tall mugs for 50p each so I thought they would make good Xmas gifts for sons teachers and scout leaders, I have 7 to do. I tried one out today and want an opinon on which you think looks best....top fanned out or top tucked in??

Contents are: Honeycomb toblerone, twirl, galaxy hot choc sachet and a cappucino sachet. After buying everything for 7 I costed them at £2 each:j Will be putting them into Xmas gift bags I got in tescos after Xmas for 10p each

So here they are....




So which looks best??

I'm probably stating the obvious here, but it's only the really expensive hampers that come in hampers IYSWIM. MrS show them on the shelves in the gorgeous wicker baskets, but they are packaged in a bog-standard cardboard box :cool: Just didn't want folk to think they were anything other than a box of groceries...

ShellyBee- i think both look really lovely but i think the 1st one with the top tucked in looks a bit better only as it makes it look fuller but both are really really good!! - another idea i might pinch :-)

BigMummaF

I think both are very good Shellybee but not being a girlie-girl myself, I prefer the innie Me muvva was convinced I would be wearing white bike-leathers with a veil on a skid-lid to my wedding--not quite, but mine was definately understated compared to my sister's dress

Shellybee

Thanks I think I prefer the innie too...now I got 6 more to do, but I just found out my OH has helped himself to a frickin Toblerone grrrrrrrr!!!!!!

hope his teeth fall out Love those fruit & nut ones especially - drool, drool

Anyway Shellybee, I prefer the one on the right - I like the cello fanning out but they both look fab - anyone would be happy to receive either one
