If you have any amazon boxes you can make a nice hamper as those boxes the flaps fold inward neatly and are strong. If you use tape to stick the flaps down, wrap the box in christmas paper, add tissue paper to line the box and the wrap in cellophane and a ribbon it looks nicely presently though the box will not be used for other purposes after.

Also perfect for storing newborns

Especially this time of the year when there's never any room at the inn.

it really is good quality, I bought 2 and my wife sent me back in to buy 4 more!!

Length: 400mm
Width: 290mm

Really nice idea thank you.

Lovely idea!

Wow, for £5 that looks like good quality, with the heart too it's perfect for hampers for Xmas. I find some are priced too high for rubbish quality. Heat

Love this box.

I might make a special trip to Waitrose for one of these. Could make a food / useful things hamper for my daughter as she is just moving out as she (they) have a new house of their own.

Could put dry food non perishable's and things like light bulbs, safety pins, screw driver etc in it.

Good fined.

Selling of their old fruit and veg crates for £5 genius :smile:

Good deal if the crates are good quality and can be used for many different things.

yes that's what we thought, my brother is moving house in January

Also thought it would be great when any of our friends have a baby, be nice to fill up with gifts for mum and baby

I want one for a nest for pet rabbits, thanks

I have done 2 hampers with these and they look fantastic :smiley::smile:

Great for putting presents in a hamper for any occasion :smiley: heat added and well done for your 1st deal :laughing:

Love these

Just what I want for christmas - a crate full of straw

Thanks Optimushulk - will check out my local tomorrow. Made my first hamper last year - worked out much cheaper, with better quality, tailored, products. :innocent:

Got these last year - excellent little boxes, used them for homemade xmas hampers for the daughters
Will have to try to get some more

Unavailable for ordering :disappointed:

These are really nice - I saw them last week and thought they were an excellent idea.

Also perfect for storing newborns

gutted oos :disappointed:

I noticed this the other day and was going to share. Pipped to the post! :wink:

Make your own :-) for £1

£3.50 at my waitrose

Had these last year also for £5, made a really nice box for a hamper. It also included some shredded paper that looked like straw

I think these are nice for storage or a pet bed, but will cost quite a bit to use to make a hamper by the time you buy the stuff to put in the hamper, cellophane and ribbon to decorate it will all mount up. I think it would make a nice family food hamper though because you could shop around spending somewhere between £5 and £10 and it will be cheaper than individual gifts and more functional.

REALLY, people actually pay £5 for that!!

This item is currently unavailable for ordering.

:smile: £1 seems reasonable tbh

Wow super. I wonder if they'll have them in stock - local Waitrose in Oadby is a half-hour drive... :confused:

do you live in the 50's or something?

wooden crates indeed.

I know some of you wouldnt be seen dead in a HomeBargains, but if you have one near you and spend a couple of pounds more, you can get one of these in a small, medium or large.



Price online is for a bulk buy of 12 but I think they're about £7 each instore for large, very good value and well made for the price.

Old HUKD link from a few years ago at the same price

I got mine on ocado, crate and shred for £7, not sure if any left that was a few weeks ago

Does it say if it is sustainable wood?

These look lovely - shame no Waitrose near me.

anyone looking for something like these, b &m do a decent wicker style one which comes with hay, bow and clear plastic type wrap and a tag, £5 i think

I've been in Home Bargains today - they are selling very similiar crates in 3 sizes, the smallest one is approx 6" x 10" (ideal size for rabbit hay rack, bought 2 for Guinea Pigs), price £2.99 which is a lot less than the fiver I paid in Store 21 for one three weeks ago. Middle size is £3.99, largest size is £4.99. I'm guessing largest one is maybe 14" x 18" but thats just a guess. Nice and strong, grey coloured, wooden.

But these are wooden, no?
Anyway Dunelm Mills are pretty good for gift boxes too.

I was going to get this one but the Waitrose one is bigger.ikea

Bought 2 of these in store but they didn't come with any straw? Just a gift-tag?

Just picked up 4, couldn't resist. Thanks op

Waitrose in Eldon Square has these in they had the bags of straw but only about 10 bags of straw to about 50 crates so can see how people are saying they didn't get the straw. Also the crate was not as shown the sides were on an angle not straight like the pic shows. But still nice.

http://www.waitrose.com/shop/DisplayProductFlyout?productId=455538 this is what you actually get,looks different to the one shown ie slanted sides and no straw, that is extra.
