redballoon_2 · 12 October 2007 at 2:06PM

I thought we could start a thread for all the ideas for christmas/birthday etc... hampers so if anyone is stuck for inspiration they can quickly look over this thread.

I will start and list the ones I can think of so get addding your ideas as well.

Organic lover - Fill with anything organic / free range

Computer nerd - mouse mat, novelty mouse, a usb gadget from ebay like a coffee warmer

Football supporters - beer and beer mug /item of club merchandise like hat scarf/whistle, flag

Gardeners Hamper - bulbs, gloves, handcream, garden tools, apron, garden gnome/cute garden sign

Wine Lover - Holder, wine bottle candle, wine thermometer, wine charms, wine glasses

Going out or staying in - include items like a dvd, popcorn and bath things for staying in, going out - make up/perfume/jewellery/coin purse

Spendaholic - copies of martin lewis's books, a spending diary, a piggy bank!

This is my first time with making hampers and i'm struggling to find baskets. Tried Wikinsons and they haven't got any big enough or are too big. Can anyone help?

Oooh - I was in the 99p shop in Norwich today and they have some really cute baskets with handles for 99p! (obviously!) they are probably about the size of a sheet of a4 paper and tapered down so not huge.

I am going to make my sister an Artists Hamper as she loves drawing so far I have paints, pencils, sketch book, a small pack of frames and a lovely book on drawing tecniques from The Works. I think it would work well for small budding artists hampers too, you could get crayons, chalks, felt tips, colouring books etc all really cheaply

I got a pack of recipe books from book people earlier this year 8 for £5.
I'm going to split them between 3 baskets - Mum n dad, in laws, brother n wife and add foody stuffs - oils, vinegar n stuff . TK Maxx are usually good for nice oils n stuff. Might even sew a nice liner!
I'm absolutely broke this year need to try and spend as little as poss.
