Excellent idea with the fudge and there are little boxes at 80p in Au Naturel that the sweets will look cool in.

Thanks! I had been wondering what I was going to do with the fudge... :beer:

Anyone any good ideas on how best to present jam? I'm a bit stumped...

And if anyone wants these recipes, please let me know. Got them out of one of my recent cookery magazine Christmas specials - ginger fudge, and Christmas pudding vodka!

I'm looking round for nice (small, maybe something like 0.5litre) bottles to package the vodka in too - so any ideas would be great!

Thanks again to everyone.

What fantabulous baskets. In one of my magazines there is an article about different hampers to buy - all of them are ridiculously expensive, however, I have got some tips: use shredded paper to pack the items in the hamper as this holds things better than scrunched up tissue paper. Also I pinched a tip from Lakeland as they have a hamper in a re-usable shopping bag (it contains chocolate, fudge, jam etc).

:rotfl::rotfl:I got my OH to do it as I just sat and stared at mine for a while though as AG explained that is what you do,though be very careful pulling it as a couple of mine ripped also sometimes material stuck together.
Good luck:T
