Finished baskets!!

Georgiabay

I've read all through this fantastic thread tonight and have been really inspired by everyones ideas and photos.
I'm definately going to give this a go and can't wait to go to town and look for baskets or anything else I can use as a container ( loved the idea of using a fruit bowl).
Well I'm off to bed now at last, though I probably won't get to sleep for thinking about what I can put in them!

Had to come back again.

kaja86 ........ could you tell me what TPS is?

Also lots of people have mentioned getting stuff from Boots cheap. Is this in the sales or some other way?

Boots have lots of offers over year and points.
have a look on the boots thread for ideas. There are ways to maximise points and vouchers to get lots of goodies free or very cheap and get points too.

Some people use the pigsback site to save for boots vouchers too.
Think this is link

oh wow!!!! all those boxes look great!! i've started putting bits in mine but would like to get some finishing touches. i got the hat boxes from argos and used the smallest one for my mum's friend as she very kindly asked me to do a box for her
i do like the idea of christmas themed wrap so will have a look on ebay for that.

thank you all for your suggestions and sharing your pics, if i knew how to do them i would share mine when i've finished lol

Sophiesmum - they look great! Thanks for sharing

Actually I love all the baskets on here- need to get a little more for my hampers but will then be posting pics on here as my arrangements is slightly, erm, lacking in inspiration!

Well after my disaster wrapping two baskets with cellophane (looked AWFUL), and ended up using the entire roll I had bought, I am going to see what the third looks like wrapped in.....cling film! :eek:
It might be easier, as long as it doesn't look cheap!
Will give it a go and post a pic tomorrow to get some opinions.
I am hoping that if I dress it up with some ribbons and bows I might get away with it! :rotfl:
