Finished baskets!!

I have bought my cellophane rolls, cellophane bags, tissue paper and pull bows from this seller for the past few years:

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/nickschicks/

The postage is capped at £4.95 so good value if you are buying a lot of stuff at once. She delivers within 48 hours.

I have bought some lovely tangerine and royal blue coloured tissue paper for my DSs hampers this year.
I am also making some kids gardening hampers for a school gardening comp, so I ordered some green cellophane for those.

Natbag I love that afternoon tea hamper- it looks lovely. Can't believe that basket is a Value one- it looks expensive.

Emactatty that Yorkshire tea hamper is lovely. As a sit here supping my giant cuppa I'm thinking how much I would love something like that.

Sophiesmum that is a gorgeous hamper too. Lucky you on the free mugs. I always think that the Sheridans licquor looks so cool....

Day off for me today and as I am still convelescing (sp) a bit after the Great South Run on sunday I might have a day pottering with hampers/ gifts etc. Will post any successes.

Also after pink car wash stuff asdas is expensive

Sophiesmum do you use a lot less paper wrapping underneath rather than scrunching on top??
