Spot on Emzy. Brother won a hamper from Marks and Spencer last week in a raffle (gave to me ..
). Was done just as you describe .. looked gorgeous. Did have lots of curly type straw to rest the items on (no idea where you would get this from), tissue paper would do though. It was put in a lovely black straw tray, which you can have if you wish Bernie ... can't see that I would have any use for it in the future.
Also, did you watch Corrie tonight? Norris had fictionally won one from Harrods and done up similarly although the bow was not as elaborate.
