    Looooove nosing at everyone's hampers :)

    Unfortunately if you buy my grandad anything he opens it and then it just goes back in the gift bag and isn't touched again (found lots of nasty things when emptying his house this year (!) but that's a whole other story)

    Having learned our lessons (and getting underwear for his birthday, poor love :rotfl: ) - we're going for things that can be used in the house and as he adores his tea/coffee so one of his presents is going to be a tea hamper complete with:

    Big shortbread box - Wilkos - £3
    Large mug - ?
    Lots of Yorkshire Teabag Samples in a presentation box (free samples & presentation box is just a tin to keep teabags in) - £1
    Twinings Speciality Tea - Asda £1.25
    Twinings - A Moment of Calm Tea - £1.25
    Bag of sugar - £1
    Long handled tea spoons - ?
    Cake (pref something with a longish date as he is a !!!!!! for not eating things when he should) - £2

    Comes to something around a tenner-ish :)

    Hi, I just found the hampers thread - great ideas. Question is - normally Christmas presents are wrapped so surprise until the day. Do you wrap hampers in Christmas paper?
