Basket for a hamper - where'd I get one?

JohnCleary · 03-02-2009 12:49pm #1

Hello my fellow Galway boardsies.

I'm getting a hamper made up, but need to find a basket & straw for it (Getting it made up by a friend as the person doing it will do a much better job than a shop)

Now the question is, where the fcuk would I find one? And also the straw?

It's to rest my dooms-day device in

Thanks folks

They have (or at least had recently) the exact item you are looking for in Dunnes Homewares dept. My girlfriend made up a hamper for my grandparents and it really looked the business.

There were different sizes too

Try the florist near Terryland Fruit and Veg....

I'm sure you'd get the hay stuff from them too...

hey
try cambridges on shop street. i think u can buy the baskets with straw in them in there. i know u can get hampers made up specially in there, so i presume you can just buy the basket separately. give it a try anyways!
