I've being reading this forum for a while now and have decided to make my mum a "holiday hamper" for her birthday i have got her a swimsuit, some vest tops and a pair of shorts from the sale. I've also picked up a travel alarm clock, mini fan, flight socks and a puzzle book. I'm going to get some sweets for the plane but after that i am stuck for ideas now. She already has a passport holder and luggage straps.

thanks in advance

Flip flops
Sarong
Hair ties (although she may not have long hair)

Tea Poem:

Although the miles divide us,
Its easier to be,
Together in our thinking,
As we made a cup of tea,
So lets both put the kettle on,
And make ouselves a brew,
And while you drink and think of me,
I'll drink and think of you. x

Ok guys wish me luck going to try and upload the pics of my first hampers. They were made with lots of inspiration from all of you so I thank you all very much!! The recipients loved them too so looks like everyone will be getting hampers this year for birthdays!!

The first one is a boys nights in hamper which I made for my hamper - if it works the first pic is unwrapped.



the second is my brothers hamper wrapped!



and the third is a movie night hamper I made for my best friends birthday!

I love this, but it's a little pricey...

Also have a look on http://www.cross-stitching.com/ as I know the magazines have printed things like this in the past.
