    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.

    Thankyou for the kind comments, and to everyone else.

    Didn't think about the birthday presents!!
    Have just found the playdoh kit I picked up cheap aswell so just have a perfect sized gap for that to fit in. :D

  • Well I got my !!! in gear tonight and put together my friend's 'Lovely bag of lovely lady things for a lovely lady....' . Quite pleased with how it's turned out actually- added a few goodies from my stash. Just need to print a mocked up newspaper front page and add that (i'm going to scroll it rather than get an A4 frame). Here's the pics:

    The unwrapped contents

    Just need to print a pretty label too.

    Tesco had some Disney princess stuff in last week and the one near me is only a small one - don't remember what there was or how much as had DD with me and she is so not girly so couldn't stop and look :o
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    The Works had Disney princess stationery stuff in last week. All items were about £1 but you got quite a bit for £1 in some of the sets ;)

    I_am_mad, I replied on the other thread. the cups were from poundstretcher 50% off so £1 each. Also have matching egg cups £1 for a box of 2 these are tucked inside the cup. Also in my hampers which you can't see are disney princess scrapa foil type pictures these were down to 25p.
    The cones I shamelessly borrowed the idea from Rainmac (she is the one full of fantastic ideas so all thanks to her) there is a seperate thread called snowman soup.
    Hope this helps.
    Tams :)

    I am sensing that you are desperate for Ben & Jerry's natbag ;)

    Yep, how did you guess?! LOL! I'm 38 weeks pregnant and Ben & Jerry's goes down a treat right now! ;) My favourite is Caramel Chew Chew, DH's is Phish Food. Yummy!
    Hiya, Im new to this bit and was wondering where's the best places to buy baskets....I've looked through about 50 pages but I can't find where to buy baskets!

    For anyone needing larger baskets, Wilkinson has sets of two large ivory baskets with a gorgeous black and ivory Damask fabric inside for £5. They were half price and much better value than buying them individually at £4.

    Home Bargains have some lovely jigsaws for 99p, as do Morrisons at £2.49 BOGOF. Debenhams also has some dolls with charm bracelets for £5, with a discount and free delivery code for online, see the Grabbit Now forum.
