    Sorry to butt into your thread pixie, but has anyone seen pink gingham lined wicker baskets anywhere please?

    I lined some of mine this year with either a tea towel, a hand towel or flannels.

    Morrisons are selling "special purchase" baskets for £1.99, 2 for £3 in their sale.

    They are more portrait than landscape, and look like they will hold a couple of bottles or upright things.

    Tesco have some seagrass baskets on special offer - 7-xx for 3 baskets that fit inside each other. They are also doing a seagrass basket advertised as a CD holder for 2-xx - quite nice ones but I currently have baskets coming out of my ears - any various other places !:eek::D
    I was going to take over the world but got distracted by something sparkly.......

    I'm hunting for a nice hamper basket myself at the moment... Have a wedding to attend soon :S and I want to do a special hamper for them - picked up 2 bottles of bucks fizz with luxury truffles from tesco in their post X-mas sale at 1/2 price so they're going in :) I'll find some nice posh chocs too as the bride will be able to pig out a little ;) we're both aiming to loose a stone in the next 8 weeks for her to fit in the dress and me to look less fat ;)

    Just to let you know that I bought my baskets for hampers from InStore for £3. The smaller one was about £2.50 and they went up in size and in price. They had pink ones and brown ones. :D
