Where can I find a cheap basket for a hamper?

:T I am creating a few hampers for christmas but I am struggling to find baskets/ boxes to put all the things in? Any suggestions where I can find some cheap baskets?

Many thanks!:j

They have some really nice ones with handles at the side in Wilinsons for £1.99.

Tesco and Instore are good and cheap!!!
Do a search for 'baskets' and you will find lots of threads with photos and loads of other info!!!

Charity shops are normally a good source for baskets.
I try and keep an eye out all year round for unusual ones.
Last year I bought my mum a square wicker one that had four empty compartments in it with a black twirly handle coming up from the middle from a local charity shop for 50p. Went to Boots and bought 4 lovely bath foams on BOGOF and used my points to pay.

Poundland have oval ones that can be re-used for washing baskets if you're looking for a larger basket.

For a smaller basket I've seen some today in the 99pstore that are lined & have 2 handles - a bit like a shopping basket IYSWIM. They are about 15 cm deep and about the same dimensions as a piece of a4 paper - beautiful they were I was gutted that I'd bought mine already - so gutted that I almost bought half a dozen anyway but that wouldn't have been very money saving would it

IKEA...they always have cheap little baskets although the temptation to buy lots of extra little things in there is huge!!
