I'm a hat box freak lol, which gets me some funny looks from my OH who can't understand it at all
Luckily he likes candles, (luckily as he was paying :rotfl: )
They had Christmas themed square and round boxes too with red velvet finishes etc, but I was looking for things that could be used all year round (probably because I never finish a job sometimes)
For Halloween they also had some huge sticks, about 3ft long, with marshmallows threaded on to them. I didn't even look at the price because I know some of you ladies can make just about anything for much less
But they did have some eye-catching marshmallow sets where various coloured marshmallows were arranged in patterns and shapes etc - something we could all achieve I thinkso it's worth a wander round if only to nick their ideas

Whilst I remember (and the computer's not freezing up :rolleyes:
) B&M had cup cake type trays in yesterday - the ones with the gingham coloured edges. I didn't notice the price of the large tray, but the sandwich trays were £1.49 and a set of 3 matching storage tins were £2.99

Weird comment but - in High School Musical 3 (yes I've seen it already) Kelsi has a really cute shabby looking cupcake teapot on her piano at one point.

Hello everyone, been "listening in" to these forums for ages but this is my first post, so please be gentle!!
I love the ideas of hampers for gifts and have started making them up for my nieces for xmas. I managed to get bath robes off half cost a few weeks ago, have bought wash mitts and cupcake bathbombs from HB (thanks for that tip too!!). I have just received the strawberry muffin cases from Ebay and would like to make sock cupcakes with them but I am having a problem finding slipper socks cheap enough. Does anyone know where I can get them form and any more ideas for the "bathtime" theme hamper? The girls range from 3 to 11. Thanks.:o0 -
Primary have some fab slipper socks and slipper socks for £3 and under - I keep buying more as gifts (and for me too!)
Your hampers sound fab already.0
