In the basket on the left I put a teddy which is holding a heart with "MUM" on it, body wash, body lotion, bath scrunchie, wash mitt ,a flower for decoration and 3 bars of normal family soap which I rewrapped using 3 coloured tissue paper and then tied them together with a bow.
In the basket on the right I put identical items but instead of body wash and body lotion I put in body spray.

The square basket was from Ikea - £2.49 for 4. I worked out that the smallest basket was 25p, next one worked out 50p, then 75p and the largest basket £1. I used the 75p one. The basket with the hoop handle I bought from a charity shop. I bought 2 for 75p.
I am glad you liked them.0 -
I am sure you mother and mother in law will love these. Well done.When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile0

Hi Purdy
I loved the baskets you made up for Mothering Sunday and it has given me the idea to make some up for my kids for Easter.
I was just wondering where you got the paper and ribbons that are wrapped around the baskets?0
