    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]. :)

    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
