Finished Mother's Day Basket
BabyKat
Posts: 416 Forumite
After looking at all the baskets i decided to give one to my mum for mother's day.
All in all it probably cost me about £5 as most of the stuff i had at home anyway.
I put in some smellies, sweets 2 bottles of taster wine and some cards i had made and she loved it
And this is the homemade card i made her too

Had to resort the the usual florists order this year for MIL as she lives so far away. Would love to have done a basket for her but wasn't sure how it could be posted without everything falling about once it was transported. I know you can mark boxes 'this way up' but it just wants a bit of a tip and the whole display would be spoiled. Are there any solutions to this ?Mary

Those shrink to fit bags would sort this for you
pop your completed basket into a bag or cut it
into two pieces use one piece to cover it completly
and then use a hair dryer to heat the plastic
that shrinks down over to hold everything in place.
It doesent stick to the items in the baskets just
bends to the shape of the contents so they cannot
move about.
Then either just stick a bow on it to decorate
or use regular cellophane over it to decorate.
