ew, been havin a tidy out upstairs and come across some old bunches of ribbon that i got last christmas from the inside market in town. they were all the odd ends so they weer only like 10p-20p each and were quite long. cos they were so cheap i got a different colour for each person to put around wrapped presents. ive still got some left so can use them this year, but thought id tell u all so u can do the same for ur baskets. im going to put them around the handles to pretty them up a bit and make em look posh!!!
