    For the Spanish hamper, The Works have really gorgeous Tapas books in for 2.99 at the moment. It's this one which is 12.99 in WH Smiths!

    Other than that...tapas bowls (small terracotta bowls), some Spanish pimento chilli powder, paella rice, perhaps a gift voucher for La Tasca or other tapas restaurant.

    I get them from here, have had about 200 from them so far, I also use their air pockets :)


    Thanks - but what size/type do you get? How do you post them? How much do boxes and postage cost? Sorry to ask so many questions, new baby in family and I have made a babycake but need to get it to Devon (cheaply:rolleyes: )

    Hi depends on the dimensions of your nappy cake. I have been able to post them before in Wine boxes from M&S

    Postage on most of the orders is free, I use double wall boxes in size 18x12x12 inches. However I have also used single wall boxes. The more you buy the cheaper they are if that makes sense.

    Your best bet is to measure your cake and work out the dimensions!

    Hope this helps.

    Also weigh the cake as my 3 tiers weigh 2.3kg so courier is the cheapest option for me as I am generally in for it to be collected etc.

    I really hope you get them :( OH ordered some business cards for me which were free, he paid over £8 postage to get them to me within 5 or 7 days. 12 days later still nothing so I called them and had a nightmare trying to get a refund out of them. 18 days later I finally managed to get a refund and 24 days later they did eventually turn up but I am not convinced they were my first order as the dates on the box were different as was the order number.

    Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. I have had at least 4 orders from them and I always choose the longest delivery time and they arrive well before it. My most recent stuff arrived this week, I was really excited! The business cards I ordered for a friend arrived and they are really well made, the rubber stamps are great (I have a 'handmade by me' stamp for the back of all my cards) and I have a load of cards and postcards, magnets large and small and a sticker for in my car. Maybe it is as I placed a large order, or perhaps they aren't so good once things actually go wrong
