Wow, gorgeous basket of goodies paddington! I'd absolutely love to receive that, is it for me, please say it is... :rotfl:

Oliviasmummy, I had the same problems with double flannels so gave up but single flannels were fine, are you rolling the flannel really tightly? Flannels are very forgiving, you should be able to pull and yank them to fit. Rusty is 'flannels fitting in cases' queen :A so she may have some better advice.

This is a lovely pressie for a proud dad/mum/grandparent... - a talking picture frame! I bought one a couple of months ago and think this is the same offer again... http://www.grabitnow.com/ecamp/daily. Only available today.

Rusty, wondered if this would tie into your black and white hamper - could take a pic of kiddies in their footie kits with them singing a footie song! Sorry, I'm spending your money for you... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Flannels fitting in cases queen :rotfl:that is the funiest thing I have heard ... I have smaller cases now and I can't do single ones for the life of me!!!
Oliviasmummy all I can say is that on the first page of the *does anyone know how to make this* thread I did a tutorial which hopefully will be easy enough to understand/help. Give it a try, if that doesn't work then I will try and help in a different way?

Sorry it's for my friends birthday - she pretty much singlehandedly ran my wedding a couple of months ago.

I did think about keeping it as there is a snuggly pair of pjs in the back which you can't see in the picture

Ickle, they look great! Well done! Can I ask what is in the jars at the back?

Rainmac I think we need to have a talk ..... You want a basket, I want a basket ... Maybe we should make one for each other :rotfl: would be even better when we move into live with Mary

Rosekitten - I really loved the baking hamper, gave me loads of ideas for my grandchildren for xmas. I have 3 in one family so am doing a larger hamper for them, and a smaller hamper for my other grandson. Went to Tescos like you said and they are very good value in there, Morrisons were well over £1 for each pot of decorations. Bought them a bowl, rolling pin and wooden spoon each in Wilkinsons too.

I will probably get them a hand wash too so they remember to wash their hands.

Noticed in the Wilkinsons xmas book later that they have a cooking with kids calendar for 65p so going back up this morning to get one. Also want to see if they have the mummys little helper aprons still although think I will only be getting one as they might be a bit girly and I have boys to buy for as well as one girl.

Also had a look on Amazon this morning and they have a few nice looking cook books for kids (searched Kids Cooking) and they have now made their postage free if you spend over £5. Might see how much a small laminator is and write them out some recipes too (printer is broken). It would come in useful at other times too.

Am going to do a separate hamper for their mum with a cheap food mixer and kitchen scales etc so she can help them.
