Finished baskets!!

Hi guys, It is a long time since I have been on this board. But Im really looking for some inspiration.

I am running a competiton on another site, and Ive listed the prize as a pamper pack. Ive got loads of bits i.e minis (shampoo, conditioner, bath soak) But I would love to make it a bit more than it is, if you know what I mean.

I have to post it, so it can't get too big, and I really don't want to spend too much on it,

can anyone give me a bit of inspiration??

thanks in advance

I think that next week have the £5 voucher for No7 etc if you spend £5 so if you need to buy something in there you will get a £5 and maybe you could buy something in there?

Thanks Mary, I haven't done one........yet. Although I have just routed through my stacker boxes and as luck would have it have found a brown flannel, bells, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, red ribbon, soap. So I think I might have a go lol. x

SeaBee that row of reindeers look so cute - I am now persuaded that they have to be added to my to do list! :T

I can't remember who was going to make a sleepover hamper. Thanks to mumofjusttwo pointing about the M&S book bargains I was having a browse. M&S have a quiz book called 'Pyjama Party Puzzles' which might be fun to include. It is only £1 and on 3 for 2 (not one of the books with 50% off). Free postage too.

hi everyone I lurk on here all the time. love the ideas. Made some baskets for my kids for Eid last week and they loved them.

Wonder if you could help me with some ideas for a friends daughter getting married soon. I want to make the happy couple a basket I have about £25 to spend. I cant include alcohol as they are muslim.

Thank you for any help at all.

Why don't you get them a couple of latte glasses, some nice coffee or/and hot chocolate and some chocolates? You could get mini marshmallows to go in there and other little extras to go into hot chocolate?

That's what I'm intending to give my cousin and her muslim partner for Christmas

These glasses aren't cheap but they are very pretty.

and they'll leave you plenty of money to pick up a hamper to put them in, tissue paper for decoration and wrapping and the coffee and hot chocolate.
