Finished baskets!!

rusty - I have similar problems with sons and girlfriends shoeboxes to be posted. Wanted to fill them but had to think about weight...........so they've each got a flannel of some desription - girlfriend has cup cake to bulk her birthday one out a bit, sock snowman to bulk out the christmas one and son has flannel yule log which fills a gap and they all weigh next to nothing really.
Or, if you've got a spare white flannel you could roll it up a bit like a cupcake, pop some red ribbon round it, some holly in the top and you've got a christmas cake.
I know it sort of detracts from your theme a bit but can't think of anything else that is really lightweight.

Rusty, what about some shreaded tissue paper which almost hides the items but gives the impression that if you have a rummage you will find lots of nice goodies!!!

Rusty those are some gorgeous products in that hamper! I love Soap and Glory. How about wrapping each one in some coloured tissue paper- maybe decorate a couple with some ribbon? That would look lovely without adding any weight.

Hi all the baskets are looking wonderful - have just finished my first and will post picture as soon as I can. Looking for a bit of inspiration really - have decided to do a James Bond themed hamper for dh. So far have four dvd's (2 for £12.oo tesco) cocktail shaker, martini glass, mini bottle of martini, any other ideas gratefully received??

Do you think it looks too bare? I am in the process of making up a sweet boquet for her aswell so she is getting something else ... or do you think it needs more in it?

[snipped ...]

It just needs the shred and cellophaning imo Rusty nothing else as far as I can see (and very nice it is too )

The last one you've posted up is the same - might appear to look 'bare' to you as technically, it's not 'finished' is it? It'll look fine with some cellophane under the actual wrapping - imo again

Nothing to do with the fact that there are at least 5 people from the NE on this very thread :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

This is a "Hello Kitty" hamper for a friends daughter. Has pjs from Asda, shampoo and shower gel from poundland, sweets from wilkos and other Hello Kitty bits from carboots over the summer!





This is a hamper for a friend with lots of pink toiletry bits, flannel cupcake, mug and notebook set with pen in the shape of a lipstick

They both look really pretty Can I ask what age group the Hello Kitty range is aimed at please as I think my great niece would love something like that.
