Finished baskets!!

earthmother

There are some great hampers on here - just wish my thanks button was working. They've given me some ideas for christmas ones I'm building up - have the 'base' items but not the little bits that fill them up.



As regards photo resizing, as said, you can do that in Photobucket - click 'edit' just above the picture in question, then the drop-down 'resize' menu. 'Message board' will fill but not stretch the page, 'webmail' is the next size down - will still given detail on most.

You won't need to repost - they'll alter for everyone as they refresh the pages.

All the baskets are really good and very professional looking. Thank you to everyone who has posted photos for sharing them with us, it's given me some great inspiration. I want to make my own but haven't started any of them yet! I'm going to pop down to the shops tomorrow and see what little goodies I can find

Thanks for all your kind comments:T
My baskets came from various places The blue/white gingham ones i got from Home bargains £4.99 for a set of 3
The Chocolate bin in the first pic was Matalan for £5 bit more than iwanted to pay but couldnt find any the right size locally
The coffee and choc basket was from Wilkos if i recall was £1.99

The seagrass lidded baskets and also the glittery parcel boxes came from JTF wholesale following a chance conversation with a colleague whose wife is a card holder.Havent as yet met her but told her husband i was after baskets /price etc and they very kindly brought me these.Seagrass set of 4 was about £7 or £8 the same ones or similar were in Instore.The glitter boxes were about £11 for 3

The baskets for the JD hamper are the ones posted on here from argos
Still got a couple more to do so will post more pics once finished.Just hope i dont make a hash of the wrapping:rolleyes:

after reading all the posts in this thread, i am doing hampers for almost everyone lol
I am doing a breakfast in bed one and am looking for a toast rack .. does anyone know of any low cost places to find one ?
Asda dont do them, the village shops here dont have one, and the lady in the hardware/diy/homewares etc shop asked in the warehouse and he said no one does toast racks anymore .. someone somewhere has to do them surely lolololol
Thanks for any help you can give

Thanks to all those posting pics of their finished baskets-its inspired me to crack on & start thinking about doing some ready for xmas!
I have done them in the past & they are always a pleasure to give, especially when you've made an effort to collect things they enjoy!
Baskets are sometimes hard to get hold of cheaply-so I sometimes cover a shallow box with 'nice' plain co ordinating paper instead.
I always cover the whole thing with clear cellophane & gather it up at the top with some matching ribbon curling the ends-looks lovely & you dont even notice if you've only used a box at the base!(or wrap individual items in cellophane it really makes such a difference)
Throw in some sparkly 'confetti' ie stars, hearts etc. depending on the occasion great fun!!
Oooh I'm all giddy now off to jot down some ideas!thanks again!
