£100 Hamper / Basket for 22 y/o girlfriend

Hi guys,

Me and the other half have a budget of £100 to spend on each other I thought that doing a hamper for her might be a nice idea.

The only problem is I am rubbish at knowing what presents to buy at the best of times and was hoping some of you guys could give me some ideas. I am definitely going to include some chocolates but other than that I don't have many ideas.

Perhaps I should go and have another browse round the shopping centres etc to try and get more ideas.

Anyway any ideas / advice from you guys will be gratefully received.

Thanks for reading.

    Molton Brown shower stuff/ body stuff. Lovely photo frame with a photo of you two in it. Book/magazines she reads. Massage oil with homemade voucher for a massage from you (but you have to come good on your promise - my husband did this for me three years ago. I am still waiting!). Funky scarf? Funky t-shirt?
  • Lush stuff, a pretty necklace or bracelet, big box of choccies, a classic DVD like Dirty Dancing or Top Gun, bottle of champers, a new CD, some nice body lotion?
    You could then fill it up by a photo of you two in a frame, make her a CD of songs that mean stuff to you and promise vouchers
  • Take her away for a night somewhere nice. Who doesn't like a night in a hotel?!
  • Thanks for all the ideas guys. I think I'll definitely go into Lush and get her some bits as she often drags me in there!!!

    At least now when I go to do her present shopping I won't just be wandering around looking lost.

    Cheers.

    Why not check the thread on here about the L'Occitane gift set for under £20 delivered? it is seriously pricey normally (we have one of the shops here at the outlet village and it's not cheap!) £18 and she won't know it was not £45 ;)
    Candles... nice ones - us girls LOVE candles. A voucher for the local salon for a manicure or haircut? Bottle of sparkly (there are some on 1/2 price offer at Tesco right now so about £5-6) and maybe a small piece of jewellery :)

    they are delivering up to December 20th which is handy for any last minute emergencies!
  • What about books and CDs? There always seems to be room in the budget for a bit of pampaering but books and CDs can be a bit of a luxury sometimes!

    Why not compile a CD of your favourite tunes or put together a photo album of some of your best snaps too?
  • Lush stuff
    Supersoft dressing gown frm marks & spencers
    Pair of PJ's from Primark
    Scented candles
    Box of choccies
    Manicure kit
    make-up brushes
    A cute little teddy bear
    Some nice undies - make sure you get her size right first though, lol!!
    Spa bath lights - http://www.prezzybox.com/products/index.aspx?pid=3780
    A nice necklace from Accesorize
    A bottle of Asti - nicer than champagne and only a fiver!

    I hope this helps xx
