Just had a look on flower hour, and near the bottom of this link:

they suggest using approximately one metre for each 12" basket.

Thanks for that, should have plenty then.

Went to asda earlier as a friend told me about some pink polka dot fleeces they had there for my girly hampers:D
They are lovely I got two, £6 each or two for £10, more expensive than primark but they are well finished off and I liked them.



While i was there I stumbled across these, was looking for something like these last year when I did movie night hampers - I think they are great and very reasonable:



The clapperboard was £1.50 and the popcorn boxes are 8 in a pack for £1.50 so could be split. Maybe someone is looking for these this year. I now need to do a movie hamper just so I can use them:j Guess OH will be having another stocking filler:D

Now need to make my £13 spend back to remain money neutral. They were with the party invites and stuff in store.

Fab finds sophiesmum. I've got popcorn boxes for a movie hamper for my son but love that clapperboard, may have to take a trip to Asda!

Those pink fleeces are lovely too, well spotted (excuse the pun!), your pink hamper is looking soooooo good!!!

The cup and saucer's now reduced from £8 to £3 and not everyone's cuppa (excuse the pun ) but seemed reasonable price-wise

I love the mug and plate passion, and love the price

Great find sophiesmum I love the clapperboard idea and think it's only right that I make a movie night hamper too Are they the sort you can write on?

£3 each and they had larger ones at £4. You should be able to fit heaps of stuff into these Also not everyone's cuppa tea, but I liked them

I couldn't resist this because of the psychedelic colours on the outside, and pink inner. It's more than I'd normally pay for a hamper present, but I couldn't help myself It's propped open with a cute little candle set that was also £6 but which I might break up to use in 5 seperate hampers. Or plonk one of them on that cup and saucer

Nice aren't they? I don't think they're aimed at my age group (apart from the psychedelic covering lol) but would look great for someone younger I don't always find TKMaxx that cheap to be honest, but after saving on parking costs,* I felt justified buying it. Well, that's my excuse :rotfl: Didn't notice any camouflage (sp? lol) boxes, but they had some pretty pink flowered hat boxes too in all sizes.

(*I blanked out how much the diesel cost )
