Hi All

All these hamoers are looking fab. Today i am goign to get out the empty hampers and start filling them up i think. Dont know how to go about posting pictures on the computer though - may have to borrow bfs camera and get him to upload them for me later so ill aly them out ready i think.

I jaut realised though i have 3 smaller hampers, one big and two square ones. and the smaller hampers (the 3) and smaller than i remember them being - just hope now that they arent too small for allthe stuff i need to cram in them!!!

will post you a picture later on

keep up the good work on all your otehr hampers

Sam

Just in case anyone is looking for Gift Tags suitable to attach to finished hampers Wilkinsons have some nice long ones for about 59p for 8. They come with string to attach them (I put mine on the thin thread of the pullbow). They have them in various colours too.

I've just been to Wilkinsons ( I just found one near work I didn't know was there having seen someone mention their website!!!) and it had lots of littler wicker type baskets lined with calico type fabric - I got some small (25cms ish in diameter) round ones for 99p. They had longer oval ones for 99p too and bigger ones for £1.49.

I managed to get all sorts of chocolate goodies for my very first hamper in there too - Got some chocolate coins (2 for 1) a shower fuzzy thing (39p!), chocolate face mask (89p), chocolate smelling body lotion and shower gel (£1.99). Going to get some other little bits to go in but nothing heavy as I've yet to post it. I'm so excited I can't wait to make it up! :T

Speaking of posting... Any ideas how to post a round basket without it getting all un-arranged? I wasn't going to put it in celophane as it will start to get too big... any ideas?

Thanks!

I would look around for a box that it would fit in. Possibly one from your supermarket, shoe shop etc etc.
