Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we could put into a fun hamper for my BIL who will be 50 next month. He is a real sport so won't take offence at "cheeky" items.

Cheers:beer:

    Hi

    We made a beer hamper for BIL, however all the beer had the word OLD in the title, Old Specked Hen, Old Peculiar, it is amazing how many there are!

    Cats.

    Sanatogen (got mum some phylosan when she turned 40 - can you still get that??) a set of thermals and some cod liver oil. If it is someone who can see the funny side! Maybe a bottle of tonic wine (if you can still get that!)
    Or else things which would have been popular in their childhood. Spam? Some of the cadburys chocolate you can get in a retro wrapper.

    Some very unkind friends :D:D gave all sorts of age related things....

    Things for aching joints, corns, bunions,
    a hairnet,
    walking stick badge
    cod liver oil
    magnifier (gets used alot!!!)






    they might have laughed loud and hard but they are all sitting on the shelf waiting for use (in about 40 years!!!).
