    Apologies if this has been resolved and if it's on the wrong thread but was someone looking for 'lager top' sweets? Just found a site that seems fairly reasonable; http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/lager-tops-p-1087.html

    HTH and sorry if this has been sorted!

    think a lot of people get the bows from florists or ebay (possibly the flower hour seller- i haven't got any yet so not sure)

    Sophiesmum, those sleepover hampers (am sure it was you that did them) are sooo awesome, looks like it will take them ages just to look through it all and looks really really expensive.
    I hope mine turnout anywhere as nice hehe

    Sorry for the bad quality - it's the Madhur Jaffrey ultimate curry bible. It's £10 in WHSmith instore so going to use the £5 off voucher that popped up on here a few days ago.

    Some good hamper ideas here (but HOW expensive?!)

    Anyone have any ideas what to use as the "hamper"?

    No, hers is far better! Just got some good bargains in the PAFC sale and ran with a theme. The Newcastle United one is fab! Very striking with the all black and white too.
