Mulled Wine Hamper
full-time-mum
Posts: 1,962 Forumite
I want to make my sister a mulled wine hamper for her birthday.
I've got Red Wine and some mulled wine sachet things (from the after Xmas sales). I thought I could put in an orange and a lemon and a recipe card but then I got stuck.
Anyone got any other (not too expensive) suggestions?

I bought a mulled wine set for someone as a xmas present (I know, I know, I should have made my own!). Anyway, it had two of those glass mug things in there (you know the sort that are like a glass but in a metal holder with metal handle). You could also add a nice bottle stopper and maybe some shortbread (I think shortbread tastes delicious with mulled wine but that might just be me!)0

I thought about glasses but can't find any.
Shortbread is a good idea - I could make some of that.7 Angel Bears for LovingHands Autumn Challenge. 10 KYSTGYSES. 3 and 3/4 (ran out of wool) small blanket/large square, 2 premie blankets, 2 Angel Claire Bodywarmers0 -
You can buy a pair of Irish Coffee glasses online here
Or there are loads on eBay - search under Coffee Glasses.
I often use them for mulled wine - they are like glass mugs only shaped more elegantly, with a handle.
You could include one of these nutmeg graters that also stores the nutmeg.
You could also get some mulled wine or spice scented candles - you see them in supermarkets as well as homeware stores.0 -
Ikea used to have mulled wine glasses - the bottom half is cork covered and it looks a bit like a half pint tumbler - I don't know how much they were, but in our house they can't have been very much!
Ahhh - found them!

They are called Parol and they are £1.49 each

They are certainly different - unfortunately, I'm not that close to IKEA but next time I go I will certainly look with a view to stocking up for next Xmas.7 Angel Bears for LovingHands Autumn Challenge. 10 KYSTGYSES. 3 and 3/4 (ran out of wool) small blanket/large square, 2 premie blankets, 2 Angel Claire Bodywarmers0 -
things like a bag of cloves and some cinamon sticks always taste great in mulled wine - and usually they work out cheaper than the ready-made bags. cinamon sticks with some ribbon round them also look quite expensive!:happyhear0
