Whittards do! I got a selection of 9 flavours for £6-it was BOGOF, so split the cost with a friend. They have different advent offers on the website at the moment.

Hiya - wonder if you ladies can help me - for my nephews (age 5 and 3) I am doing pirate themed hampers and would really like to use something that looks like pirates treasure chests as their hamper(s) - I've looked on ebay but nothing much doing and the ones that are on there seem to be mainly small (just for putting party favours in!) - can anyone advise if they've seen anything suitable? thanks in advance...

Not sure about the chest shape thing, but how about a sea grass baskett with lid on.

I typed in storage chest on Ebay and it brought up some very nice ones, tried to post link but it did not work.

All the hampers are looking great, the pictures only thread have some fantastic hampers on there.

Jintyb - Sorry about your cat!

I was at my friends this afternoon, she was making coffee when the bottom of her glass coffee pot shattered sending hot coffee all over the place, and I mean literally everywhere.
We kind of decided not to buy each other anything this year as money is tight for us both, but she has had a pants year so thought i'd do her a hamper but it has to be on the cheap.

So far I have come up with..

A new cafetiere
Wine fund saving egg/money box found in Birthdays
A box of toffifees - her faves

She has loads of coffee/ coffee realted bits due to being a coffee fan, but with no coffee maker as its broke lol hence the cafetiere..

What else could I add?

Coffee!!! I saw some packs of Douwe Eggberts (sp?) half price in Tesco, bought it down to about £1.39 a pack I think.

A mug? Xmas ones in Poundstretcher 59p.

Re: woolies bargains got my Dad a lovely mug he has coffee to go with it. Might just wrap with cello. He doesn`t take sugar or like so what can I put with it ??

I think that sounds enough for your dad's pressie. You could add some chocolate or biscuits?

Thank you bunbun, the little pots were 39p each from a shop in our little town called money spinner. It's a family run business and I think it's just a one off shop. Sorry I can't be anymore help.
