    sophiesmum they are gorgeous hampers. Jam packed with goodies :-)

    I like your baskets where did you get those please .
  • Oh boy, I have been putting off looking onthis thread until I can do it at home as at work the pictures don't come up and I seem to have missed loads. Every time I come on here I find more things I want to incorporate! I think the one for my Dad is pretty much done now, aside from the 'reasons to be cheerful' mini maze book, and cutting out the facts for the 365 facts in a jar. Everyone else's needs a little more work but I am going gradually and spending a lot of time in Home Bargains :)
    Big hugs to all!

    I'm currently sitting wrapped in a lovely soft fluffy rose pink throw which my son got me for Christmas last year from Primark. It's at least double size and cost £7, but I'm certain they do single sizes for £5ish and also have other styles of blankets for around £3 if this helps.

    Oh and although just a dipper to this thread, loving all the pics.

    Oh again, if anyone needs baskets Morrisons have seagrass baskets with closing lids in 3 different sizes starting from £1.99 going up to £3.99 and they were lovely.

    Smallest basket was around 8 maybe 9 inches long by 5 inches wide, and 4 /5 inches tall, and well the bigger ones were maybe a couple of inches bigger in each direction.

    They also had lined rectangular baskets and linnen bins but I can't remember how much they were - sorry.....
