Evening you creative lot :grin:

I want to do my 9 year old nephew a *gruesome* hamper. You know, typical little boy stuff, fake blood, joke stuff etc BUT cant really think of any ideas or where to get them :confused::confused:

Absolutely anything would be gratefully appreciated.

Also, my OH's step father is a little hard!! He smokes and goes to the pub - :rotfl: so I was thinking, can of ale & glass, minature wuth glass, packet of fags and lighter ~ do you think thats ok or a little uninsperational (if thats even a word ;))

Thanks in advance

    Also try independent toy shops- they sometimes have things like that near the tills. Don't forget the bloody finger - just the trick:

    A good trawl around the supermarkets after Halloween should get some good bargains for gruesome things: severed arms, masks, etc.

    If you know someone with an engraver (hand tool, or something like a Dremel), how about engraving a pint mug with his name or football club mascot (or favourite beer)? Any old 'value' supermarket glass can be transformed this way.
    I have no signature.

    Depending on how muxh you are willing to spend there is a Gruosome Science kit in the Argos Christmas catalog at £16.99, it is a bit expensive for a hamper

    As Steve-o mentioned, supermarkets will be fab this time next week!

    Saying that, even now, our Tesco has got loads of squidgy eyeballs and bits in from around 25p, so if you don't want to wait, then there are bargains around at the moment.
