They look fab! I wouldnt worry about wrapping them again as they are just lovely as they are.

I finally managed to get some piccys of some of my hampers. I used the lovely hat boxes from Argos (thanks mumofone). I'm not to happy with the way i've wrapped them though so I think i'll have to do it again.

Love this thread. I have started hampers, so will post pictures when I can.

Just a thought: I love the baskets but am having problems finding cheap ones. What about orange carts, you know the wooden boxes they have in fruit shops or on market stalls, I'm sure they just throw them away when they're done with them. They would be free if you asked them for some and you could just paint or spray paint them whatever colour you like and line them with tissue. This would be probably be good for the food hampers rather than the pamper hampers. I think the pamper hampers look good in the baskets.

Just an idea anyway.

I've used these for my chutneys/pickle onions/christmas pud hampers and added shredded cardboard (I had something packed in it). You can also use pet bedding..tesco have value ones they sell.
I'm sure the ones I used had satsumas in them first.
