Looks fab and very expensive - well done!!! If you were my sister I'd be giving you a HUGE hug after receiving the hamper and then I'd rip the cello off and go for the Flakes - yum, yum, yum...!

vwcampervan - I am guessing that the extra bag of marshmallows followed 5 mini choc bars into your tum :rofl

Great hamper though.

Inspired by this thread and all of your fabulous pictures I have decided to do a pink hamper for my sister for xmas, ( I'm too late for her birthday). I thought I'd get loads of soap and glory items, perhaps some Ted Baker toiletries they are pink and are BOGOF in Boots at the minute. I went to Asda today and have already picked up some things, some gorgeous slipper socks (they are really like shoes) for £3 and a reduced hello kitty vest (was £6 now £3), and matching knickers (were £3 now £1.50). I also picked up a few sweets. I am quite excited about getting it all together.
For my mother-in-law, a green/earthy hamper as she loves Boots' botanics range (already got loads of this), and for my mum a sort of Cath Kidston inspired one as I have already got her a tin of Cath Kidson toiletries. Wish me luck, I can't wait to get started on the hunt!
