baskets

Thank you, I had a poundland, but it closed down. We do have Tescos and Morrisons so I will check both as well as the other places mentioned and the other thread thank you all very very much.

Can you try a wanted ad on Freecycle for baskets?

not sure if you would consider making your own basket? I made some by folding old magazine sheets into strips then weaving them together, and if I pay some attention to what sort of main colours the strips are, I could weave in some sort of design too. didn't look too shabby or blue peter to be honest. besides, if your gift receiver is a recycling sort of person (or you are), he/she will appreciate the extra effort and favour you are doing for a green cause

I live in Inverness, which is a city but doesn't have any Wilkinsons. We have plenty of charity shops and I will check those tomorrow. Will also check the florists. I might be able to find a more appropiate container with it being so many months to Christmas. Thanks.

Try Matalan -that's where I got my baskets last year. Also you have Tescos so thay might be worth trying

Went into one of the charity shops and she knew nothing about baskets. Tried the florist and they said they had lots for £1.99 Went to Au Naturale, and they had lots, but they were £4.00 upwards and weren't as nice. Got a belt buckle for my best friend's one and some books for my daughter in law's one.
