How about lining the hamper with a lovely bath towel?

what about one of those frother things?

And a nutmeg?

A minature irish whiskey for irish coffee (or tia maria, baileys etc)?

(The frother thingy is excellent, I think I got mine for £1.00 and I've used it loads)

Chocolate covered coffee beans?

I'm on a roll now!

What about some of those chocolate-covered spoons (or you can buy ready made chocolate stirrers in M&S)

Also, in the bath one, how about a glossy magazine or girly book to be read while relaxing in the bath?
