junior_j your dad sounds like he has the same tastes as my OH (prob roughly the same age too:eek: ). how about a hamper with beer, snacks, nuts, guitar magazine (OH buys classic rock!), beer glass.

passion8 great basket - love the sewing basket. keep forgetting to look in Home Bargains!

rusty - I would do lots of little hampers. saying that i think I am putting all OH's things in one:rotfl: however...I don't think you can get too many hampers and lots of themed ones are nice (does that make sense!!)

Thankyou bunbun, I think I will see if I can put it together as a movie night hamper then, I have most of the bits in anyway so will be fairly easy to do I reckon
Thanks for the help

rainmac - OH getting better by the day........still hobbling but swelling's gone down though he's still suffering pain with it but not as much.

Super hampers all of you.........Just had an e mail that threw me into a panic !! Friend of mine is sending her OH round tonight to deliver her stuff to me and collect what I've got her.............it's all there............just haven't wrapped it up yet and got builder coming this afternoon:eek:

Hello every one

All hampers are looking fab as always !

But i am about at a standstill with presents.

My mum has

A stylophone ,
A new turban bath head towel

Those are her proper ones for the moment

Then i have done her a stocking with smellies

My dad i have brought nothing for , was going to buy him a memory card for the camera my mum is getting him but he will order a bigger one for cheaper from work on CpC or some thing so that would be a waste of time and money , he always gets loads of smellies for christmas , he doesnt need no shirts or anything,

My only thought was a pair of jeans , some socks and 4 cans of stella , but thats so original and boring , yet my mum has a retro toy from child hood along with smellies , and im also buying her dawn frenches dear fatty as she has said she wants that too lol..

Grr,.

If you think your dad would like it as a pressie please PM me yoour email address and I'll send you a copy. Also done my dad a ball of life as here... http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=1928. How about a pot of gold... http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1283835&highlight=pot+of+gold

yes 3 :rolleyes: the NUFC footy one from the kiddies, a marmite one from me and then thought about this movie night one! ... I am sorted for OH ... just need to work my extra shift next tuesday to put an extra £20 to his cash so he can book his motorbike course

Hadn't thought of a bowl ... I wonder if bought box of popcorn would be better than the microwaveable ones ... now you have me thinking again I think I need to go shopping again what a damn shame!

Home Bargains have big boxes of cinema popcorn. I prefer the ready made stuff cos I always burn the microwave popcorn:rotfl:
