I am making gift baskets for christmas... When I am done and ready to wrap the baskets I want to use cellophane. how do I get it tight around the baskets? Almost like shrinking it? Can I use a blow dryer? Or Do I have to buy the real thing? Any help or suggestions are welcome!

You have to use the special "shrink wrap" style of cellowrap to make that work and it's really not that expensive. I think a roll runs around $4 and if I'm recalling correctly, I managed to wrap about 8 small food baskets with that. Of course, what we do for dinner auctions at our school is to buy clear cellowrap with a bit of an holiday image on it and wrap the items that way. For a 12 x 12 items (for example) you cut a sheet that measures 24 x 24. Place the item in the middle of the cellowrap, gather up the sides and bunch them in the middle above the item, and then tie up with a pretty holiday ribbon. I personally think this is much more decorative then using shrink wrap :)
