Wonderful - well done on your sale

Your OH's hamper will be great - are you gonna put in one of the retro sweety boxes that others are talking about on here -they sound great and I am sure will go well with your "take you back to childhood" hamper

Thanks I'm so proud, actually, profit was only £1.99 forgot the FVFee! But hurrah!

For OH's basket, I will put some retro sweeties in he is such a big baby, but I did this

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=376073

for him on valentines day which kind of 'did' the retro sweet thing, up to now for his vintage/night in hamper I have :

• Teenage mutant hero turtle comics (ebay)
• Star wars magic flannel (boots)
• Popcorn boxes
• Drinks holders like at cinema (c/o cousin who works at cinema)
• Big mug from truprint @ £1.99
• Hot chocolate
• Large bag of crisps

etc....!! all ideas welcome of course ! vintage sweets are going in there too!

Love the valentine retro sweet hamper Jamtart6 its gorgeous - I bet he was absolutely thrilled with it.

You have inspired me and I am gonna now try and get hold of one of the baskets from poundstretcher with a hindged lid that I have been reading about on this thread and do my OH a sweety hamper, filled with his favourite chocolate bars, nibbles, sweeties etc Or I may just cover a shoe box in simpsons christmas wrapping paper because he loves the simpsons and put it all in that - think that might go down a bit better for him actually than a basket.

Will let you know how I get on.

Good luck everyone with your sales

thanks for the lovely comments Jamtart6 & Sally Savings

Sally Savings what a great idea about the skydiving I am sure your daughter will be thrilled.

I have tried to come up with a poem for you have a look attell me what u think

"It is with love at christmas that we give this gift to thee
to show you how much we care and how trendy we can be

So instead of all the ususal sorts of gifts
we have come up with something that is personal just for you
Your really gonna love this because its something you can do

For a few minutes for one day gravity will not kick in
For you will feel the wind around your body, hair and skin

So if by now you have not guessed
just what it is we have for you to do

We will let you into a little secret

SkyDiving our darling daughter is is what we have for you.

Enjoy"

Not sure if this sounds right have re written it a few times so please feel free to swap change, throw in bin etc

Let me know what you think

Vicky

Thank you....that is just perfect

I'm sure they'll think thats great, it makes the gift so much more special with a poem

I'm really pleased, thank you again Vicky

Well done on the beginning of many sales Jamtart

Umm I have to admit I have not actually listed anything at the moment
But I will!!!
I was going to start last night but my daughter needed the computer for homework....so hopefully listing tonight and the weekend.

jamtart6

Good luck!! yay i have 3 more items with bids and a few watchers altho that means absolutely nothing!!

Sally Savings You are most welcome - so pleased that you liked the little poem - you never know someone else might come up with something better - buts its a start. I am 150% sure that your daughters will be delighted with it - its such a thoughful idea.

Good luck Sally Savings with getting organised and getting things listed.

Jamtart6 - I think you are on a roll - hope you make loads of profit - It always used to get me excited when I had watchers but now I dont tend to get as excite as sometimes I really do get the impression that its other sellers that are watching to see what your items go for, not potential buyers.

Good news I have been out to hospital for checkup today and I have just got back in and have sold 1 item
Sale of Unwanted Disney dvd (I collect them and got 2 of the same for my birthday) After Fees £ 7.46
I am delighted :j :j :j

Anyway off to list a load of books - darling OH gave me a load of DVD's to sell to go towards my challenge so I listed a few of them last night, will list a few more later too.

Good luck everyone - keep up the good work
