Hi all, has anyone spotted any cheap lager/beer ice buckets?

We have a BHS nearby and they have some with a few beers but their £12.00, don't really want to pay that much for one :rolleyes:. Wanted to put a few snacks drinks and dvds into it and make a big night in hamper.

Many thanks
Aggie

Hi Aggie, I was after one too and ended up getting one from ebay, it cost me approx £4. They had loads of different ones. Try having a wee look there.

As usual, all these hampers are looking fantastic. I'd be so happy to receive one when it's obvious so much thought has gone into it.

I've decided to make some home made treats and present them hamper-style in a festive tin. I'm sure there were lots of tins around last year but this year I can only find these at M&S

Anyone seen any christmas tins on their travels?

For you guys in Northumberland I was in Ashington yesterday in Al's Bargain Store and they sell cello and pull bows and tissue and crepe paper. I got 2 rolls of cello (1 plain 1 dotty) about 4 metres for just over a quid each and the big pull bows were 30-40p each. I was dead pleased with that as I was going to do an online order with my friend and split the postage.

Thanks for that Kandipandi ... I need to go to Ashington aswell now ... Where in Northumberland are you? I am in Blyth

Wow lots of fantastic hampers, I love the disney cars one on the top of this page! It looks great my son went through a mad crazy phase and would have loved that. If you are still looking for a car you can usually pick up the die cast ones in asda for just over £1 each and they are the disney cars cars if that makes sense!
