1980s themed sweety hamper

NGlady2

perfect - i only found this idea today and i have go tto say I love it.

I am quite lucky that in my local in door market there is a sweet stand with any imaginable sweet going. I will only probably make one as im doing a secret santa so i will only need very small quantities. Luckily the lady on the market stand last time I spoke to her was lovely, so im thinking if I go in when shes quiet one day and speak to her very nicely she will let me have very small quantities, 25g of this and that etc especially if i let her put things in the same bags... i hope !!

im setting myself a budget of £5 including box... good luck me.

Had it suggested by a lady on another board to maybe put some nice fabric on it, to make it extra vintage looking!!

hopefully itll pull off

Poundland do the boxes, we got some from Meadowhall for my mum to put her beads in for crafts.

Am doing really well with the sweety hamper - keep picking up bits and bobs to add to it. Thining of his favourites when we were growing up. I got a 5 pck of curlywurlys for 99p from Morrisons.

SAw in BHS today silly priced 'retro' sweet stuff. Agree with above poster - much cheaper to make own!
