Finished baskets!!

savingholmes

Hi I only used 1 flannel in my cup cakes - you can leave them as they are but perhaps top with something or you can gently pull up the middle to give a more icing swirl appearance. Wilkos are doing in peach and clear, and lilac and clear 10 bath pearls for £1, they are also selling about 6 heart shaped bath fizz things similar to what Ruby made also for about £1 which you could use for a topper if you wanted... I also considered candles...
This shows what I mean by the swirl, I only used one flannel tho! Cases courtesy of Rainmac!

sammr85, I think they look great :T (look very similar to the ones I've done). I can only do one flannel ones, clever Rusty can do double flannels but I can't squeeze two in one case

That basket does look very inviting savingholmes.:T rainmac I got me a Baileys for £5.00 I am going to allow myself a little bit over ice at christmas one small drink since May won`t make any difference I think. If not i might put a spot in my coffee i do love Baileys latte !:D

which could be a good gift coffee/ mini baileys/ nice latte glass.


My 1.00 DVD came today so nearly finished FIl hamper when the second dvd comes.

I tried in vain to get a ruby millie mirror they are out of stock at warehouse too !. I did get a ruby mille mini nail file/polish/buffer for 1.00 instead of £6.00.

ooo well maybe I did buy the right cases and I'm just not clever enough for 2 lol

Well I have now done 8 seperate flannel cakes instead of 4 doubles, and i have packed them in a cellophane bag just need to get my ribbon and elastic bands. I will take pics as soon as I get my christmas bag out of storage as no doubt theres some in there (OH will kill me if I buy more wen its not needed like wrapping paper) *rollseyes*

Hiya
Would someone please be kind enough to post the link for the cupcake cases. I'm sure it was an ebay seller, might be muddled though.:o

Many thanks

Hi all

Hampers look great! :-)

Just have a quick question - I have finished 6 hampers that I have finished for Xmas - they are all full of various things that I know the people like. Question is - My OH thinks I should wrap all the individual items before wrapping the basket in cellophane. What do you think? Will this ruin the effect.? His reasoning is that they will then have bits to unwrap.

Please help!

I would say its personal choice, but I think that it defeats the purpose of having a hamper.

If it was a box that was not left open I would prob wrap items up individually, but not for a hamper, part of it's charm is that you get the lovely display.
If you dont want the recipients to see what is inside you can put tissue inside the cello before you wrap it (see the pictures thred for ideas).
Just my opinion.

This is what I'm going to do. I'll wrap all the bits in coordinating papers/ribbons, the cellpahne with a coordinating bow. Hopefully it will look quite effective. We always deliver gifts on xmas eve so dont want them to be able to see what they've got and take away the surprise.
The exception is the food hampers I'm making which I'll leave open.
