Christmas hamper ideas - Old style

 

We had a storm blow over last night, we woke this morning to very blustery cold rainy weather, yuk!  Although the weather is horrid, I still have been out all afternoon Christmas shopping. This year I have decided that everyone is going to receive a hamper.  I have come up with a couple of different ideas and each person will receive a personalised hamper. I have been to Dunelm Mill and bought the baskets, £2.00 each and then went to our local supermarket and purchased the contents! They are not finished yet as I need to buy some celeophane and tinsel to decorate each one.
