Okay, I have officially joined the hamper club!! Was so impressed by everyones efforts and though to myself "How hard can it be?!" :eek: and decided to make up a nice hamper for OH Mum. She is in her 60's and is recovering from a stroke. She has recently had fittecd a special shower instead of the bath for easy access. I thought it would be nice to get her nice shower stuff to use and so far have
white bath scrunchie
body shop lavender body wash
body shop lavender body mist
body shop bath gloves (for exfoliating)
But it's looking a bit empty still...thought about shampoo but she had a bit of skin cancer on her scalp and probably uses medicated shampoo of some sort..
Any ideas for some more pampering bits? Wanted to get fizzy foot soak so she could treat her feet but can't find any!!
Please help me hamper angels!!!:D

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research0 -
If she is recovering from a stroke how about one of those sponges on a stick or one of those long bath scrunchies with rope on each end.0

May be on the practical sie but what about non stick mats for the shower and the floor? Dunelm do some very nice ones and usually aren't very dear.
Or how about a small pretty plant for the bathroom window ledge?
Or a velcro fastening towel?The smallest deed is greater than the grandest intention ~ Anonymous0 -
Poundland had some well known brand fizzy footsoak bombs in a little tube near the healthcare section
If thats the kind of thing you're looking for. They are in a tube about 8 cm long, they are green balls inside look like mini bath bomb type thing. I think they were Scholl brand.
Edited: found the same ones on ebay to give you an idea of what it is you're looking for
