    Hi inkedkitten, welcome to the madhouse :D People get their baskets from all over the place but you could try: pound shops, Home Bargains, Ikea, Tesco, Asda, Au Naturele, Wilkos...

    What's your fave flavour? Mine is cookie dough but also partial to Chunky Monkey - I love the mini chocolate banana shapes!

    3tabbycats -

    Pompoms - HB have a craft set for 5op currently. Asda have craft sets from £3 which include pompoms - I nicked all the tiny ones and then put the rest back still to give away - oops! The works sell pompoms I think even Wilkos does...

    Rusty lovely as ever and fantastic value! Great shopping!

    No probs Mary, we'll bring a tub for you too if you promise not to start any more crafty things before we get to yours that we have to finish ;)

    Rusty fantastic ideas for presents, they'll get hours of use from those. You've set everything out so lovely in the pink cases they look just smashing. Either/or would make great birthday presents for childrens parties too.

    I'd maybe try Asda and Wilkinson's first and go from there ;) Happy hunting!

    Ooohhh, forgot to mention Matalan, my nearest one is rubbish for baskets but other people on this thread find lovely ones in there.
