hi everyone, ive decided to make all my xmas presents this year and would love to do some hampers as ive made them in the past. someone said about a movie hamper which would be a great idea for my sister and her 6 kids and also another family of 7 i know, i was thinking of doing the hampers in big bowl that pop corn could be put in after, also either a big bag of pop corn or a bag of popping corn with instructions, im not sure about putting in a dvd as in not sure of what they already have, i could really do with as mant suggestions as possible please so i can start to get things started, thanks in advance x.

Hi Betterlife, Places like Blockbuster etc do gift vouchers/cards so you could get one of these and put it in there. Also some big bags of sweets to share, popcorn in various varietys, even the stuff you have to make yourself so they get the fun of hearing it go POP! ... have a look on the *finished baskets* thread as there are hundreds of ideas on there.

thankyou rustyflange thats a great idea about blockbusters giftvoucher never thought of that, i must checkout if they have one close enough to them, i normally do homemade popcorn myself and agree that its far nicer than buying it as its great fun to make. you also get far much.x

Hi you can get a book of Blockbuster vouchers with Clubcard deals and if they don't have a popcorn maker you could always put in the microwave variety.

Betterlife the other way to do it is get them some kind of free trial to love film they normally do 2 weeks or sometimes a month .. just remember to cancel it all afterwards.

RustyFlange thank you so much for adding the pic, I wasn't able to!!;)

And thank you everyone else, I really enjoyed making it and yes definately will be making more for christmas. Have to keep sharp eye out for goodies that don't cost the earth!!:T :T

Don't forget any freebies you can find online to I recently did a basket for a friends baby and hadn't sent it until I got the newborn huggies nappies free online, which were a bonus to add in with the basket of things I'd bought for baby
