    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.

    I'm replying with pics as that basket is so beautiful :D Well done :T

    Thankyou Brooke. I have had a look they would be ideal, I am going to try and shop around a bit first though see if I can find any cheaper.

    Does anyone know where I can get a light up glass from? I have looked on ebay but they are £7 + postage for 2 and I only want the one lol. It is a bit of a jokey present for my MIL. Also I have been told she likes pretty lighters so need to find something like this.

    Hi Rusty dont know if this will help but I remember seeing those glasses in a local petrol station, they were about £2.99. Not sure if it was a Shell garage or BP or even if you have them where you are but worth a look if you do.
