The whicker basket for ear-plugs and jam sandwiches would swing it for me !

It's a surprise present for my husband's birthday...do you think I'm gonna have trouble hiding it from him? I'd put it in the garage but I think he'll notice it...what do you think?

Thanks

Hang on...no one said anything about a bleedin' wicker basket. My husband defo won't want one of those. Does anyone know if I can get one without the basket?

Thanks

Yes there are different shades. I tell you what, the Chinese do some great camouflage wrapping paper, wrap it up then hide it under the bed, sweet.

You're lost and tormented ...or at least you will be.
