    P.s forgot to say but talking about cupcakes has reminded me did anyone watch Supernanny tonight? The mother on there had a huge ceramic cupcake in her kitchen - it was lush!!! Where can I get one of those?

    P.P.S it was quite large about the size of a small bread bin x

    Shelly3774, hi :)

    You've just saved me a headache as I need to make a hamper pronto ish ;) and really didn't fancy making another one with bath and toiletry items. It's lovely (as are all of those that have been posted btw :)) so thanks for posting it x

    Just a quick link to the Grabbit board, looks like a good offer in certain places:

    Funnily enough, I think that barring the chocolates (they don't last very long here :o;) ) I've got all of the other contents. I love the colours you've used btw - so I'll have to look in the swag bag for some similar coloured cellophane :)

    Thanks again x

    If anyone is doing a bbq/beer hamper, I picked up a budweiser marinade and budweiser bbq sauce from Farmfoods earlier this week - 2 for £1.50.

    Shelley, that hamper is fab :T Even more fab given you had such a short timescale ;) It would be soooooooooooo expensive to buy something similar in a shop. Love your tag :D

    I saw Supernanny but missed the cupcake :p My boys can be naughty and seem to enjoy causing me stress but no where near as bad as the kiddies on Supernanny last night.
