Mini Pamper Kit


Using some of my charity finds the other day , I made a mini pamper kit.
The gift bag was from ebay worked out about 10p
The dove was a free sample by signing up for a news letter
The bath bomps 9p
The bath flakes 10p
= Total cost 38p

Finished item
Ribbon and gift tag from stash given to me

Pint of Socks

I started with these ingredients:

1 pair of socks  (6 pairs £1 Leeds Market)
1 Flannel 19p Wilkinsons
1 Glass (8 for £1 ) boot sale

Put it together like this :


And packaged it up with Santa Cellophane and ribbon and a distressed ink tag






Snowman Soups

I made these last year and they were that popular I`ve decided to make them again.
Its not my verse one of the girls on MSE got it for me and if its yours can you let me know so I can credit it to you
This year I`ve done some milk chocolate, white chocolate and a mix of the two.
Then I `ve put in some chocolate buttons, marshmallows and attached a stirrer (candy cane)
I then topped off with some curly ribbon and the verse

Pots Of Snow

 Today I decided to make some pots of snow. I took some jars from the £1 shop, 4 in a pack and some various ribbon from Hobbycraft




I  put double sided tape around the lid of the jar, decorated with ribbon and put the snow verse on one side and a topper on the other





I then filled with toffee bonbons

Charity Shop finds


When I go into charity shops , I usually leave empty handed, is it me or are they getting expensive, some sell books for £3 a paperback. Today I wandered into some I`ve never been before.
I found 8 baskets for 60p , 2 gold sprays 60p, A love heart pot 50p. A pack of M& S bath sachets 10 for a £1 and bathbombs 9p each.
I`m going to use these in various hampers and the 8 baskets I`m going to spray gold and use as pots og gold (fingers crossed)
