Re individual tagged tea bags, home bargains currently have some (forget make) but impressive looking assam and earl grey. BBE oct 08, but doubt they will go off before xmas, so I am planning to re-package them in cello bags, tightly tied with ribbon, for hampers.

Sorry guys for posting this on here but my candy bouquet thread was closed so I thought it would be better to post it on here. I've made my first candy bouquet tonight for my Mum's birthday. Do you think it is ok? I've fussed over it all night



I was going to fill it more but I thought it might look too cheap if I did that x

Shelley I love the sweet bouquet - I would love to receive something like this...

Asda have kitten and dog lunch bags now 75p originally £3.
I got 2 heavy glass vase for £1 each and chocolate smelling pot pourri £2.50 which I then split between the 2 vases. I have now cellophane wrapped them and I am really chuffed! £2.25 each but I think it looks fab!

Hi Rusty, Your hampers look fantastic! I was just wondering please could I ask where you got the blue and pink baskets.

I've been looking at everyone's hampers/baskets and they all look really great, I've been inspired and I am going to try and make some hampers as christmas presents for my family.

The two baskets you have, would be perfect for my niece and nephew.

Thanks Katie
