Finished baskets!!

The top one is the one I have been looking for!!! local shops stock all of them bar that one and can't order it in. Terramundi let you order then email to say they don't have it!

Will have to wait til pay day before I can buy it. Thanks,

Would rather spend the extra £2 for a proper one than trying to do my own I think. Great idea for someone who is crafty enough though!

Thankyou ... I hope he does I shocked myself at the RRP to be honest :eek:
I planned to spend £30 off the children so a hamper was a good way to do it. i;m booking him a CBT course which is £100 and doing him a stocking and then have a few little bits for him to unwrap on the day but I said I would only spend £170 in total from me and the children so I am on budget nicely. (last year was £300 ) but then I found this board!

He will love it if theres money and a lottery ticket in it LOL:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Men are funny creatures aren't they? My hubby always leaves little piles of money around and it does my head in. I bought him a coin tray but thats always overflowing:mad::mad:
I'm going to make the Pots of gold for all the male members of the family x;)

He's so difficult to buy for Shelley (apart from being a strange creature too :rotfl: ) because at his age (lol), he's used to getting the usual things. I'll think of a bigger present nearer Christmas, but he's semi-retiring soon, so a gift like that might make us both look at the pennies more

Can't wait to start it now - it reminds me of rainmac's cups simple but not easy iyswim? :rotfl: but very effective looking.

Thank you so much for posting the website add up for those baskets I'd bought two of these type before:

http://www.candigifts.co.uk/items/product-range/wicker-baskets~trays/wicker-packing-trays/polyrattan-oval-detail.htm

but forgotten where from. I've searched all over the usual shops, and seem to remember paying slightly less for two, but the price was hiked up when fuel and parking charges are taken into consideration, so those are a good price too, imo.

It didn't help that I'd forgotten what the name of them was either lol, and was too embarrassed to ask but those oval ones are probably the best size and shape of basket that I've ever used. They hold a surprisingly large amount of items if packed carefully, have no sharp bits, but better still, I can play about with them better as they're the type you don't really need a table to work at with. Just plonk them on your knee sort of thing

Rusty - those are really lovely nappy cakes. Thanks for posting them up

Rusty, your nappy cakes are gorgeous and that Newcastle hamper is fantastic, you've put so much thought and effort into it and it really shows! Well done you :T

So far my OH hamper consists of a mixture of homemade and bought stuff:
snowman soup
mug saying 'daddy cool'
USB mug warmer (to use at work)
talking picture frame - need a lovely pic of the boys and get them to add a xmas message!
365 facts in a jar
t-shirt from play.com sale for £5
Tiger Woods wii game
Brain Trainer desk calendar
terramundi jar
handprints on a canvas with poem - got canvas and paint, just need to get the boys to do the handprints!
pot of gold - need to buy lottery ticket or scratch card
The Tales of Beedle the Bard, JK Rowling - preordered this from play.com
Think that's it?

Also doing him a stocking (first time ever) with bits and bobs in including:
ball of life - need to buy tennis ball
chocolate coins
puzzles x 2
pack playing cards with 50 things you should have done before having children!

Loving gathering all my bits together :j

Wow your OH Is as spoilt as mine!!! Love the idea of the talking frame and also the canvas, I might have to steal that idea if you don't mind as it is OH's birthday in January so I need to start getting bits for that aswell as finish off christmas :eek:
