Meanwhile, tagging a loved one, someone else said: "For my burr basket, the sugar scrub."
A burr basket is a winter-themed gift hamper filled with cosy items and treats for a loved one.
Just like the viral Halloween boo baskets, the festive gift has become a huge trend on TikTok - and offers up a cute alternative to traditional Christmas stockings.
The burr basket hashtag already has 437 million views on the social media platform, while burr basket ideas has a further 134 million views.
Burr baskets can be made using bargain buys from stores like Primark, B&M and Home Bargains. You can also pick up a basket for as little as £1.30 while you're there.
To fill up your festive hamper, grab some cosy socks, hot chocolate mix, scented candles and a Christmas-themed blanket.
You can also pop in a mug, snacks and festive lotions or body sprays.
Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.
- They "sell a lot of items" - Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They "do very little advertising"
- While their clothes offer the "latest trends", they "don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels".
- And lastly, they try to be "as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores". This includes things like asking "suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf".
