    A Chocolate Pamper Hamper, done for a 40th birthday

    It all started with the mug - £1.20 in a charity shop but brand new - and grew from there. I'd only planned to fill the mug originally, lol.

    DSCF0037.jpg


    With that, there are;
    12 assorted hot chocolate sachets
    a mini whisk (from a Wilkinsons 2 pack)
    A pot of Cadburys chocolate curls
    A 2 pack of posh chocolate biscuits
    A bag of Aero bubbles
    a Wispa Bar
    2 large bars of Aero
    2 mini packs of Maltesers
    Next Chocolate bath bombs
    Designer 'Triple Choc' bath duck
    DSCF0038.jpg
    3 Egyptian cotton flannels
    Bath net
    Manicure set
    2 Mills & Boon books (free offer)

    Almost everything was bought on some kind of offer or deal, so including the hatbox, tissue and card, it's a grand total of £24.90 - with an rrp of £49.82
