My friends wrapped hamper and some cheap boxes available in ASDA. Pics of both

Afternoon everyone. Here is my friends wrapped birthday hamper.

Finally got it wrapped when i got correct sized organza bags!

Hope she likes it.

While at asda yesterday i got these

These were reduced from £12 to £6. £2 a box was good value. They also had round seagrass ones for the same price but they didn't seem very sturdy.

    Is that a poem in the back of the first one?

  • Yes i thought it would be nice to add a personal poem from me to her. I asked on here and some kind soul gave me this link...

    http://www.poemsource.com/birthday-poems.html

    and i used this one
    Birthday Blessings
    Instead of counting candles,
    Or tallying the years,
    Contemplate your blessings,
    As your birthday nears.
    Consider special people
    Who love you, and who care,
    And others who’ve enriched your life
    Just by being there.
    Think about the memories
    Passing years can never mar,
    Experiences great and small
    That have made you who you are.
    Another year is a happy gift,
    So cut your cake, and say,
    "Instead of counting birthdays,
    I count blessings every day!"
    I also made up a movie night out hamper for her and her son and made this poem up.
    Here's a gift from me to you
    Chosen and given with lots of love too
    Loads of treats in here for you
    Lots of fantasic things to do

    A trip to the cinema for both of you
    And some tickets for a movie or two
    Please enjoy with lots of fun
    Special times for you and your son.
    If anyone has any suggestions to make it better .... any suggestions welcome!
