Finished Baskets - Part 2

curiouscrafter · 17 February 2011 at 3:26PM

Hello,
I am new to MSE
I have been looking through this thread, it is great, I just wondered if there is a new one I should be following?
I have purchased a lovely basket today from TKMaxx (they had some lovely decorations too) for putting all my easter bits in for the kids (5 & 2 years). I am hoping to put together a kind of Easter half term survival basket, including :-

Easter themed DVD
Some easter egg cups for decorating
Bulbs for planting in the garden
Ingredients for easter cakes
Craft bits and pieces from the £1 shop
Homemade vouchers for walks at the local parks etc

Any other ideas would be gratefully recieved

I'm new to this forum so hello to all. I've been looking at the hamper picture thread and wow they are all gorgeous! I'm so sorry to ask but I seen it so many times on the picture thread and I'm intrigued: what is snowman soup and where do I get it??!!

Tracy, check this thread for (hopefully) all your questions to be answered! It's basically all the components for hot chocolate in a bag with marshmallows (eyes/nose/buttons) etc

Don't forget the candy cane as a stirrer attached to the bag

Can I ask - where does everyone get the shredded paper to pad out the baskets? Is there somewhere online which sells it fairly cheap?

Probably quite a bit too late - but I got mine from The Works - huge bag for 99p of gold lametta type. Got some green and red from Card Warehouse for the same price and I remember seeing some in B&M's too last Christmas but I can't remember the price.

hi guys,

for the first time this year I am thinking about making hampers (need to get my butt in gear!:eek:)

Any help would be appreciated:)
