Where can I buy.....

[razamakaz]

cheap baskets, a roll of cellophane and some pretty ribbons cheap? My friend and me are making gift baskets for the xmas fairs coming up from October.

Is there a good online site (or high street shop) I can get these from?

There are a couple of sellers of fancy cellophane in the other place, Raz - might look good?

I have looked but they only sell a certain length cut off from a roll from what I can see - would prefer a full roll

I can get the cellophane by the roll - there is at least 50 metres on it from the wholesalers Raz, but it might cost a bit to send due to the weight... I will weigh the one I have got (only used about 3 metres), might not be too bad by parcel post, I can't remember how much it is per roll off the top of my head, only a few quid (if that).

The curling ribbons I can get for you at £1.17 for 500 metre roll... and in just about every colour imaginable.

Baskets... what shape, size are you after... I have millions of em and if I don't have what you are after, the wholesalers will (they don't weigh much either) They start at something like 48p for a decent sized one depending on materials.

If you want the coloured straw stuff to line the baskets I can also get that - can't remember price of that though as I Haven't bought any for ages - hardly weighs a thing. If you wanted coloured tissue rather than straw stuff, it is £2.48 +vat for 48 LARGE sheets. (They come on rolls). Might even be cheaper on t'other side... haven't checked in a while.

Plain plastic carrier bags are £1.59 + vat per pack of 100 if you need any of them.

I will be going to wholesalers tomorrow hopefully, if not, maybe Thursday, so if you want me to price anything up for you, just let me know.

I don't charge commission, although Ribbet Red works wunders

Ancient Wisdom sell that kind of thing quite cheap but you have to put in minimum order of £100
