Secret Santa £5 Hamper

My secret Santa limit at work this year is £5, but I'm happy to go up to £7 for this. I've seen a wicker basket with a lid in Morrisons for £1.99 so unless I see something cheaper or more value for money, I will get that. I have lots of cellophane and ribbon at home and access to a colour laser printer at work 
So I need £5 worth of stuff for inside the hamper. All my colleagues are female, from a variety of ages and religions. Most have children, but some do not.
It would be nice if everything in the hamper had a theme or all the same colour or something.
HELP!!!!

Could you choose a colour that's also associated with a smell, like orange, rose or lavender, and pick lots of toiletries that colour/smell?
You could probably get shower or bath gel, co-ordinating sponge or wash mitt, soap etc.

Go to your local supermarket and look for the cheap toiletries that are on special. home bargains is really good for this. Buy a bar of galaxy "mistletoe kisses" about 39p. In primark there is a mug that is pink and says "beauty queen" on it for £1 and its boxed and looks gorgeous. Pop in a few sachets of hot chocolate. Buy some nice candles you can get really cheap value ones from most supermarkets for about 40p in a holder. Put in a little note saying they have worked so hard all year and this isto give them a pamper treat they deserve.
