Rusty .. ive looked on ebay at the terramundis! .. which seller did you get the great service from?
Id rather use a seller through word of mouth

Thanks

Hi Piratess

This is the link to the one I bought
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=110267638199

I bought and paid for it on the 10th and it arrived this morning. Postage is very very reasonable and the seller is very helpful. He stocks all different ones as you will see and they work out cheaper from him than from shops etc.

Hope you find something you like.
Tams

I do drink herbal teas but I would LOVE a cup of tea with milk:rotfl:

Could you not use soya? or some of that tea powder stuff? would that not be any good? I feel sorry for you as I don't function without a nice cuppa first thing on a morning!

Thankyou once again for all of the lovely comments

Hi Everyone,

After reading through the whole thread, and loved every second of it, I have decided that Hampers are definitely the way forward for presents… All of the ones on here are amazing!:T Well done everyone!

I was wondering if anyone could give me a few ideas of what to get for my OH… He is so difficult to buy for. He is mad about motorbikes but works with them 6 days a week, so anything that he needs bike wise he gets from work. He likes boats, cars and planes (anything with an engine really!) He is useless when it comes to money, but all in all, I would be totally lost without him!:o

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Maria and the imps love the hampers you have certainly been busy!

Passion8 Thank you so much for the lovely comments, I think I was just lucky the first time I put the cello and bow on it looked ok so i left it, I was so tempted to fiddle with it, but remembered someones advice on here a while ago saying just do it dont fiddle with it! I’m now glad I didn’t. I have yet to do my dd basket I’m hoping it will turn out as nice.

Does he like movies, maybe you could buy him some new movies and some other bits and pieces that you could enjoy together for a nice night in?

Thankyou ... if he breaks it then I will break him :eek: however there is a way to open them use a claw hammer on the top and prise it off, that way it can be opened without smashing then just superglue back together ... this does work as my dad and step mum did this with the one I got them for their wedding

Lovely hampers earth mother, bet they went down a treat!

If you've got the patience you can also hold the terramundi upside down and poke the coins back out through the hole with a flat bladed knife;) No breakage involved:D

Also forgot to say was yes I have done this before!!
