Finished baskets!!

In my local Sainsburys yesterday they had a range of chocolate bars called Bloomsbury, they had bars called Girth control, Ultimate diet, snappy, emergency chocolate etc, they all had really witty comments on, The Wobbler bar says under it " Eat too many wobbler bars and you may end up going wobble, wobble, wobble".
I thought they would be great for hampers

Taking it to his house today afterwork, he's a hard one to buy for because he seems to have everything. I hope he likes it!!

I think your Grandad's hamper is fab. Love the seeds idea and the altoids. He is going to love it :j:j

BOCHOX :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:They are fantastic. Any ideas of prices? I wouldn't mind getting some of these for the brothers/sisters/ BIL/SIS's for their christmas sweety tubs

Yaaaayyy!!!

Managed to pick up a pair of pink slippers from work today for £2.50 for my girly / high school musical hamper Yes they have the football teams logo on them, but she doesnt mind football just doesnt adore them. Lol.

Had a master plan as well. If I was to get a bin (or hopefully those chalkboard boxes if I can find them...) I could pad the bottom with those giant bubble wrap things (the ones with the HUGE bubbles that are about 5 inches long). So that all the goodies can pop out the top

Need to try and find those boxes though, how many of you have found them in your local matalan? Just so I know how good a chance I have?

I have used them, think Rainmac has some, Shelley did a hamper for her nephew/son (sorry can't remember which just remember you did one) and I think bunbun had some?

I found them in my local Matalan but only just - they had placed them hanging on a rail in front of the checkout but they are not that visible especially when queuing. Very poor positioning and it was only lucky I spotted them. I filled mine with polystyrene peanuts but needed quite a lot.
They are lovely for £3 so I picked up one in each colour to make some for Xmas gifts.

I got some of the chalkboard boxes from Matalan. I got the last two blue ones - they had loads of green and orange though:D

I def want a green one and probably a pink one!

Hmm my matalan is generally useless

Someone on ebay is selling them for £8!!!

£8:eek: that's shocking

Just looked at her feedback and looks like one person has bought a green one from her and paid £6.05 + £2.95 so £9 in total that is terrible
