    Been to IKEA today and could not believe the range and amount of baskets everywhere!! I bought some kilner jars from there for 99p each 0.5l. I've had a quick flick through this thread but wondering now if it was on another thread about the chocolate cake or similar with recipe in one of these jars. If anyone has time to kindly point me in the right direction I would be very happy? Thanks very much :).

    What about a nice fluffy towel at the bottom and then you can pack everything else on top

    QS is a cheapy sort of clothes and home ware shop I have seen them in alot of towns so there could be one near you it is bit like a poundstretcher come instore come beewize, I think all these shops do the boxes cheap aswell.
    Do an internet search of any of these stores and you should be able to find a local store locator.


    Thanks for that , there is one local to me in my local town didn`t realise that they do home stuff doh!!!!!

    I`m be there tomorrow.

    Thanks

  • gorgeous!! can i ask what the ghost and anna sui things are and where you got them from and prices please :) x

    The boxes were from a card shop, a cheap one called G&T cards. :D

    The Ghost/anna Sui are perfume samples, i got these from friends on my forum who i swap with and some of them i have been given at the perfume counters in boots, i didnt pay money for any of them ;)

  • Hi everyone :wave:

    I bought these baskets today in Ikea http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20107161

    they're £5.99 here, but in store they were reduced to £1.50 each so i snapped up a fair few. I don't know if this is just my local store or if the reduction is nationwide.

    I hope it helps someone!
