    Hi Everyone

    Lovely baskets. I have just about finished all mine that were on the go. Im trying to think of things I can put in a basket for my OH now. Hes very hard to buy for and I dont have much money. He wants some Dvds but I will wrap them up separately as he likes to have lots of things to open. Only thing I can think of at the moment is Lynx and socks. He doesnt eat sweets or chocolate (well rarely), thought may be a pint of socks but he likes lager so not sure, plus we have loads of glasses and unless its a special glass would be a waste of money. He doesnt use any other toiletries just what evers in the bathroom, hes got shelves full of stuff bought for him by relatives which never gets used. I might do some footaball beers by changing the labels but he has seen these already as I have done some for my son and OH's dad.

    Any suggestions
  • CT that hamper is fantastic!! Well done!

    Rinroo I love the boxes, where did you get them?

    Not sure if it will help anyone but Home bargains have Winnie the pooh *super sleuth* cardboard storage boxes (flatpack) for £1.69 ... I was very nearly tempted to grab a few for when our little one has her own bedroom

    Rufusdog, I am pretty much the same for my oh at the minute. You could still do the beers with footy labels, If he likes footy you could put together a football box of his favourite team, I have done this for my oh... pics below.
    you could get DVD's and then maybe a few munchy things for when he sits and watches them? get him socks and undies and PJ's if he wears them? a new Tshirt? a book? most of the above are fairly cheap and can help with the lots of presents?

    The box I did for OH

    Rusty you football hamper looks so good. I'l have to have a think what I can put in it. We have a Sports Direct in town now so will pop in there. Thanks
  • Rufusdog, thankyou. Took me a while to think about what I wanted in it but about 30 mins to buy all of it, well apart from the terramundi. I got nearly all of the other bits from 1 shop which used to be a sports direct or something. can't remember how much it all cost me but some was free (scarf) and I had a budget of £30 as it is from my 2 children to their daddy :) I know I came well in under £30

    You think you had a panic on? I can't find the stockings I made for my two boys for their first Christmases 18 and 10 years ago respectively, or the Cross Stitch Advent Calendar I made for the little one's first Christmas :eek: !
    We've never not used them - it's tradition :cry: .

    Vicky have you found them yet?
