shaz_mum_of_2 That looks lovely I think your nana will love it.

Lilmrsmullen Your hampers are great I love the ice bucket, it would be perfect for my brothers present but I don't have B&M or home bargains near me I don't want to use a basket so I am stuck for ideas at the moment!

Keep a look out for anywhere selling off summer picnic stock - you might bve able to pick up an ice bucket that way.

Ikea also do a stainless steel (looking!) ice bucket with tongs, if you have one near you...

Just put together my nieces sleepover hampers, they are aged 10 and 12 years and very girly girly:D

I have only posted one lot of pics but have two of everything and have made two hampers. The baskets are basic laundry baskets from asda £2.97 each but plenty big enough. Doesn't look very big in the picture but is about 2ft wide and about 12" deep:D .
Have bought all the bits for both hampers through year in sales, bogofs etc except for the two fleees which I got from asda the other night 2 for £10.





put together but not wrapped - have made two of these identical:D





Basically they contain:
pyjamas, slipper socks, socks, undies, fleece,pop up laundry hamper,,sweeties,cream bath, shampoo, body spray,nail polishes, make up set, hair brushes set,bath bombs, sponges, scrunchie,novelty soap,duck nail brush,padded photo framehair bands, bobbles, teddy bear, marshmallows,manicure set, hand and naiil lotion, cotton balls, nail polish remover, tissues, and lots of other stuff. It is all PINK as they are very pink girlies:rotfl:
Including the fleece and baskets they have cost about £18 each:j but if they were bought full price would be about £40 ish.
Will add another picture once they are wrapped.

Have now wrapped one - just need to make a nice personalised tag for it now.
