    Chocoholic box for my friend for putting 4 of us up at her house on our upcoming Christmas night out :j
    Started off with the cup & saucer bought for £1 in charity shop, then the box which I think matches well and just loads of chocolate and hot chocolate sachets.

    Pictures are a bit dark, don't know what happened :o

    Here is my OH's Rugby Hamper (not yet wrapped)

    walesvsamoa.jpg

    Contents:
    British Lions Shirt
    WRU t-shirt
    WRU slippers
    WRU book
    WRU DVD
    British Lions keyring
    WRU car air freshener
    WRU Penguin

    Cost approx £50 but would have cost more than double that if I'd bought everything full price.
  • This is my DD's Christmas eve hamper. It contains dressing gown (on the bottom), pj's, slippers, body lotion, toothbrush, santa plate, santa mug with hot chocolate, sweets, popcorn, pens, Santa Buddies DVD, bubble bath and a hot water bottle with cover. I still have to wrap it in cello.

    Night in at the Movies hamper.
    Cost very little, DVD box half price in WH Smith and £20 HMV vouchers earned from surveys.
    Other bits bought mostly in Lidl on offer.
    Retro sweetie box also didn't cost much to do - box I think £1.99 online (bought 4) and sweets from Poundland.
