    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

    59p for a big bag???? Wow!

    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.

    Why don't you take the JL ones back (I think you can take delivery items back to a store) and buy the santas from Boots?

    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?

    Home Bargains had red silicone muffin trays (6 hole I think) for £1.99.

    Love your Greek theme idea, really fab :D

  • This is a Baby basket I have done for my step Daughter, her baby is due in 2 weeks, I hope she likes it.

    There are several things inside the basket too which you cant see, I have really enjoyed shopping for this and putting it all together, I have another one exactly the same to finish wrapping for my dd who is due in 7 weeks, it's all sooo exciting.

    I don't think my cello is up to the standard I have seen on here but I did my best there was so much of it! I just did it all up once and didn't mess with it.

    Cake cases most of us use these from this seller: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Baking-Frenzy you cannot buy them big enough for flannels in the UK. Also the best flannels to use are the cheapy ones (25p) ish from Wilkos and places like that, they all fold up lovely.

    Reindeer flannel link for you also: http://www.kckpl.lib.ks.us/ys/CRAFTS/Ratrein.htm
