    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
    Aggie



    Have just ordered my cello wrap from flower hour - hope that was the right one, lol !

    I got my cello from Flowerhour, its fab, and my cupcake cases were from baking Frenzy (Ebay) like these ones:

    HTH!
  • Thanks Pidge that really helps, I don't think I have enough tea in the house to get me through reading all the posts again to find the seller :rotfl:
    Cheers

    No hampers today but have been sorting out stuff to give to my Mums friend and her niece who's very good to my Mum. I get them something from Mum and something from me

    This year - from Mum they've each got a silvery colour box of smellies
    cost £1.50 each - unwanted pressies at charity shop
    From me
    Mums friend has Lavender bath crystals with a wooden scoop and lavender soap..............60p in all (unwanted gifts at charity shop)
    Mums friends niece has some bath pearls, four pink and blue candles and a flannel cupcake. candles were freebies I'd been given, bath pearls were 50p

    Just a little token something to say Thanks to them.
    Put them in little Christmas boxes I got from boot fair (hard to cost of them as they were £3 for about 7), tied them with ribbon so now thats another lot ready.

    Cost in total £4.65.
    Mary

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

    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 :confused:

    But clever Rainmac can do single ones and I cam completely hopeless at them!!!!

    Right so following on from pictures I put up the other night for my step mum ... it had to be small as I have to post it so a hamper was out of the question. Instead I used a show box and have now arranged it and completed it. Thankyou for all of the suggestions to individually wrap, add tissuepaper/tinsel etc I am now happy with it.
    The ribbon was one of the designs from interflora 25p a metre ;) not the widest they do but I thought it was right for the box, just a shame I can't tie pretty bows!

    Here are the pics.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    Coffee hamper:

    Coffee (obviously!)
    The Boots cappucino set, taken apart (can't put picture as Boots.com is down), it has two big cups, an electric milk frother, stencil for chocolate and chocolate shaker
    Baileys - either the £5 Asda one or a minature
    If it's a Baileys minature, then also a Cointreau and a Whiskey minature
    Dark chocolate Lindt sweets scattered in the hamper
    Cream and coffee coloured sock cupcake

    Any other ideas to add? I thought a cheap cafetiere? Any ideas what else I could use instead of a hamper (gave the same person a cheer up hamper a few weeks ago y'see)

    Lian that sounds Fab, how about a pack of biscuits to go with it?

    You could present it all on a tea tray? I did this with my fairtrade hamper see below.
