RustyFlange - how about heart-shaped handwarmers/pocket-warmers? YKWIM! Red fabric with rice inside that he can pop in the microwave/on top of a radiator - then you can tell him that your heart will always keep him warm.

How cheesy is that

I think he would find that very cheesy not sure wether he would go for it or not to be honest ...

Love the underwear idea .... wonder if I can find a jokey thong or something to match the silver one I put in his stocking :rotfl:

Where would I get rose petals from? I was thinking of littering the basket once finished with some of that confetti that is little hearts etc ... rose petals may be a better idea!

Did a quick search on Ebay and lots available there. Item no 330297020947 is 100 red rose petals for 99p plus 85p for postage on buy it now.

They had red rose petals in Hobbycraft last year for Valentines day

Thanks all


Not sure if it can help anyone or not but nettos has the champagne marmite in at the moment and it is only £1.99, I was desperately looking for some of this for OH's marmite hamper I did him for christmas however the only place I could find it was ebay ... this is for the bigger tube aswell ... I just grabbed some for OH's valentine hamper (has a slight bit of red on the label)

I am thinking of making my OH a chinese food hamper for his birthday. I have seen an electric wok advertised in Lidl and wondered if anyone has ever used one before. Oh loves using his wok so would he be disppointed with an electric one (can you tell I am not the chef in our house!!)?
if I do decide to make it I will def be pinching ideas from your's rainmac:rotfl:

No probs bunbun, pinch away The outlaws seemed to like their chinese basket of stuff at xmas but we called in last weekend and the basket was still sitting on their coffee table with all the items in it :rolleyes: :mad: Will need some ideas for presents that take no effort for them this year

Rusty, love your ideas of a red hamper for your OH for Valentines. My OH's birthday is day before Valentines Day and since having kiddies we have tended to not do Valentines pressies at all. Maybe we will this year...

that is so annoying rainmac:mad: maybe they just like it so much they don't want to take it apart:rotfl:
any views on the electric wok (don't want to get it if it will be a waste of time/money)
OH has just been reading over my shoulder:eek: ?

I too think it is a fab idea. I made heart shaped chocs last year so may look at doing a hamper this year ( I knew I should have bought all the heart stuff when it was reduced in Asda last year:rotfl: ).

Tell me about it but that's typically them I'm afraid :rolleyes:. They have a couple of other presents that people have bought for them that are unopened in their living room too. I just think it's a bit rude and ungrateful but maybe that's just me being ultra sensitive.

I don't know anyone who has an electric wok to be honest so can't help with that one, sorry.

Thanks Rainmac ... I just hope I can pull it off .... he doesn't *do* valentines day ... although last year suprised me with a bunch of flowers ... he picked them up from tescos on his way to my house from him working in essex (approx 120 miles at the time) so that was quite sweet bless him ... I just like to do a little something ... its very expensive though as his birthday is exactly 1 month and 1 day after christmas then valentines day not long after!!!

Bunbun I have no ideas about the electric woks ... OH has a massive wok which was cheap as chips and he has had it for years ... he says he will never get rid of it as it is so good!
