1973 themes hamper?

A little bit odd this - hubby is totally mad on Life on Mars, and for Christmas I want to make him a "1973" hamper. He already wears wide collared shirts, velvet jackets and his dream is to own a Mk III Cortina

Can anyone suggest some things I could put in the hamper? Sadly, they don't make party sevens anymoe or I'd get him one

I always find the best way to find bits and bobs for a certain year is to type in the year to ebay - see what sort of stuff it brings up and you should get loads of ideas.

I was born in 1973 but I'm not sure he'd want me in a hamper

Yeah me too, but there is no way I'd fit.....!

On my 30th I was given a bag of sweets from the era - Curly Wurlys, Metal Mickeys etc (can't think of any more....must be this age addled brain.....!!!)

Let us no how you get on!

I think he would kill me :rotfl:

Thanks for all the tips guys - I've found a model Cortina for him, I bought him the workshop manual for a wedding present, saying that's the closest he will get for a while
