My first ever mini pamper hamper......nothing fancy really so please be gentle with me.
The items - free (from various gift sets I received a while back):rotfl:0 -
I've not finished wrapping this one yet - will get some ribbon a little nearer Christmas [I know if I put it on now, it will get damaged].
I have put together a bathtime pamper hamper for my partner, who has begun to see the joy from just relaxing in the bath rather than always grabbing a quick shower. He also adores the Vikings and popping candy - hence the inclusion of a few of the other items.
Contents:
- Dressing gown.
- Slippers [off camera].
- 2 hair/shower gels.
- Radox muscle soak.
- Bath pillow.
- 2 Lush bathbombs.
- Vikings by Neil Oliver.
- 4 Viking rubber ducks.
- 3 flannels.
- Sponge.
- Duck 'soap on a rope'.
- Whittard's hot chocolate.
- Popping candy chocolate orange.
It proved to be a little difficult to get everything in lol... I decided to wrap up five of the items and used my duckie gift tags to write "witty" [I think they are anyway lol] hints on. Means he doesn't see everything as soon as he opens it and instead gets to open a few different things.
I didn't trust myself with cellophane and it has to travel some 60 miles, potentially in some sort of rucksack on the back of a motorcycle, so I figured wrapping it completely was the best way to do it... I wrapped the box itself, so when you open it, the entire thing is giftwrapped - rather than you ripping the giftwrap off and being left with a standard box [was money saving and reusing a standard cardboard box lol].0 -

Hi Everyone, I've really enjoyed looking through this thread and others for hamper inspiration. I love seeing everyone elses hamper pictures and reading how they've put them together.
I've posted a couple of pictures of my hampers and some costings in the hopes of jump-starting this thread and encouraging some of you to post you hamper pictures.

Most of the items were from Home Bargains, the costings might be slightly off but I tried my best:

I bought a big roll of cellophane about a year ago from a florists supply shop. It was about £4.50 for 25metres. The ribbon is just bits I've picked up here and there and wombled from gifts I've been given.
As I said at the beginning of this post, I would love to see and read about all your hampers. Please share!
Thanks
