Nice hamper Sarah

where did you get the box from?
Thanks

Hi threelittlepigs

The box is the bottom half of a Beautilicious Candy Apple Detox Box I got as an xmas prezzie last year & 'think' the person got it from either Home Bargains or off the market stalls?

thanks rusty I still have a bit of time to look around before Christmas:rotfl: I didn't think about JO but thought the journal was too good to miss and the cookbook goes with it. will have a look in Sainsburys. I have seen JO stuff in Home Bargains too.
glad it went well this afternoon and hope the solicitor sorts it all out - and fast!

No probs I have to admit I love his stuff ... I spent about £40 last year in sainsburys just on JO stuff it was all on 3 for 2 so was worth around £70 we have used loads over the course of a year and I have topped bits up from ebay etc it seems all home bargains apart from my local one do JO stuff. and as you said you now have a theme

I'm trying to put together a hamper for my aunty. She's off to St Lucia on Nov 6th, for 5 months and so she'll be away over Christmas.

My aunty just loves flip flops, so I've picked up some of them to put in and also I found a flip-flop shaped photo frame in Wilkos to include. I thought about putting some suncreams in and also thought about getting the family (my mum and my other aunts) to record messages to put on a CD for her.

I did think with her travelling, it might be better for me to put the hamper together in a beach bag or something - not sure where I'll be able to find a beach bag now.

I'm just not sure what else to put in and I was just wondering if anyone could please help me with ideas.

Thanks in advance
Katie

St.Lucia? 6 months? - put me in there please:D
