What bargains have you got for your 2008 hampers so far?

earth mother - thanks for that. Typical...........bought mini eggs for retro sweet boxes for granchildren and they're all done.
Umm..........wonder if I could do one for one of the lads I look after........he's such admired the finished boxes so it's a thought.

Spent this morning decanting cheap bubble bath(free as it was given to me) into two wine bottles to see how it looked..............printed out vintage bathroom for one label and wacky chap covered in bubbles for the other.........they look really good. Got a mess with the small whisky bottle I was doing.The funnel I'd bought was okay for the wine bottles but too small for the whisky one and I nearly covered the kitchen table in bubble bath ..............lol Have to get a smaller funner. Found nice blue label for that one as its a cllear bottle and the bath foam is blue. I'm well pleased with them.............whole cost to me is just the price of the funnel..........OH drinks the wine anyway................lol

So far have enough goodies for:

Ex foster girl
Youngest son
MIL's birthday and Mums Day
Friends birthday
Baby Grandsons birthday

Loads more stuff but I've yet to sort out what is for who.............lol

I went into Wilkinsons at the weekend.
They usually have a couple of basket type things with 1/2 price bits in, but normally nothing really good.

Well they had some really nice Double duvet sets with two pillows that were £7.50 reduced to £3.75. :T

They had big spots on one side and stripes on the other side.

I got a purple set, the spots/stripes are in three different purpley colours.

They also had blue and brown colour sets.:)
