Method:

1. 

   Step 1: Fill your hamper basket

   1. Source a large wicker basket which can also be used afterwards, so that the person receiving has double use! Wicker baskets actually make great magazine storage in case you didn't know... 2. Go for a size which measures L-35cm x W-25cm x H-20cm minimum. You want it to be quite deep and roomy to fit all the padding and products. 3. Arrange shredded paper and glittering stars as a filler.

2. 

   Step 2: Place products strategically

   4. It's all about appearances! Lay out your products in a neat, clear layout, so that each product is front facing. Be creative and play around with angles and positions. 5. Sprinkle left-over sequins, glitters, foil confetti and shredded tissue to nestle the products into place.

3. 

   Step 3. Cello-tape where necessary

   6. For any awkward items which won't sit in place, use double-sided scotch tape to stick the items down. 7. Then, roll out your sheet of cellophane. Along the width edge, place a piece of double-sided tape and slowly move your hamper on top of this. This creates the perfect way to start wrapping your cellophane around the box, starting from the underneath, bringing it out over the top.

   Step 4: Cellophane to decorate

   8. Cover the hamper basket and the products with the sheet of cellophane, ensuring it is securely cello-taped underneath. Keep all overlapping and tape to the bottom of the basket, so that the products all look neat, in place, and pretty!

   Step 5: Add your bows, ribbons and anything else required!

   9. Decorate your hamper to your chosen person's taste. You really can't go wrong with sparkly gold if you're a little bit stuck! Use a chunky ribbon to wrap around the sides of the box and secure with a bow. 10. Thread through a gift tag and position to the front, near the bow. Make sure to pen together a nice personal message.

   Step 6: Get ready to gift!

   10. Snip away at any loose ends, and use this last stage to embellish however you please. You could use shiny thin ribbon made into spirals with your scissors to tuck into the gold ribbon, 11. Hand over to the lucky recipient!
