They're just great
Well done I'm sure they'll be most appreciated. Spookily close with the budgets too!
I've done two this year for the first time and have got the hamper bug now.
Getting quite excited about next year before I've even finished this one!

This is my 3rd year doing hampers, I thought I wouldnt this year because its been done before but the family love it and it works out good value. for 10 people (8 adults 2 kids) I have worked out the whole budget will be about £160 at the most working out £16 a head - so pleased

They look lovely x. The prices you've put is what they are full price rather than what you've paid, is that right? Look forward to seeing the rest.

No, this is what I paid. Maybe more than some people would be comfortable with, but I started them in September and have picked up bits and pieces here and there so haven't really noticed any big expenditure really. Quite happy with the amounts. If I had bigger baskets I would have spent more easily.

Wow these are lovely! I'm sure the recipients will be very pleased with them as I'm sure I would be

What size baskets have you used? I've been looking online for some but i'm clueless as to what size to buy. Your baskets look an ideal size
