Where please do you find the actual hampers without spending a fortune?

Gift baskets with handles would also work, also rectangular cardboard boxes with handles.

I need about ten of them.

Also where do you find the florist’s transparent vinyl wrap without spending £30 a roll?

Any tips gratefully received!

I forgot an obvious one I have done - a crate (from pub) that I did 12 bottles of whisky in for my Dad - one for each month - bottles were wrapped in brown paper , festive ribbon and a tag with month on and a clue to the whisky - something daft like - March-Not A Womble ( Tobermory )

Sounds like a great present BeaLola!

Also check charity shops for cheap baskets and hampers.

I've given up buying hampers or baskets but use a cardboard box covered with recyclable Christmas paper.
