Could do with some ideas please people...

I am doing a Spanish themed basket for MIL, so far I have a bottle of Sangria my friend bought back for me and a Spanish recipe book, but am stuck now.

Thanks

I'm not sure if this has already been posted but in Aldi at the moment they have loads of Spanish food stuff in at the moment. Most of would have a long shelf life I would imagine

I ordered these and got my delivery of them soon after and I have to admit I wished I hadnt got these as I think the Santa's in Boots (they also have a little bag of chocolate balls) are nicer and are also on 3 for 2 so only £12 for three.

They are nice but I think the ones from Boots are nicer.

savinghomes - thats brilliant ............looks really good :T

Your hampers look fantastic and have given me some much needed inspiration.

For my mother I've decided on a Greek theme - Mama Mia DVD, Boots Mediterranean body wash, Olives and a cook book all in a bright dish/bowl.

For friend who likes cooking I have a brown sugar candle and Silver Balls cake decorations and thought I would get a muffin baking tray. Anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced one?

Ooooh socks! I forgot to buy NUFC socks!!!!! will sort it this week and then repack it all with the terramundi and forgot to make the black and white flannels as a beer in the glass lol ... oh dear!

My friend seemed happier today, I picked her up and took her shopping and I believe she is having a quiet weekend with her phone off this weekend just her and the baby ... so I will pop over tomorrow before I go to work to make sure she is ok

:rotfl: I thought socks were the first thing we all thought of Rusty

Good to hear that your friend seems more upbeat, and sincerely hope that she feels happier every day As mentioned, PND can be a nightmare

Talking of nightmares (but on a much less serious note) has anyone ever successfully wrapped a rigid square box with the fan effect on the top? I had a 'mare of a job trying to wrap one last night. It took about 4 hours too :rotfl: and I'll have to take it to bits today. It's that bad lol.

Talking of boxes, these are the flock-effect boxes I mentioned that are 79p in B&M:



but the red ones looked much more Christmassy, iykwim?

Lastly, a question (which I normally wouldn't ask but I'm a bit pushed for time ) but can anyone please direct me to the reindeer thread? I wanted to cover up some soaps that weren't too expensive, but more than usual - Boots Mediterranean and Expert etc, as they're quite dull in appearrance, or clinical looking - if that makes sense?

Thanks in advance

Sorry I have snipped your post ...

Lidl do a big bag of sweety burgers which you could use as a filler?
Look like these

They are £1.75 for a big bag ... could do well to fill the gaps? or even fill up a couple of wine glasses with them?
I will have more of a think but for some reason I read america and thought burger. Maybe I should go and find something to eat lol

If you have a home bargains near you, i think that these are about £0.59.

They also have fast food sweets too - i.e. chips, hot dogs, pizza etc for the same price.

Hope this helps
