Great hamper JaneLiz!! Be warned tho it is seriously addictive!! :T

Haven't posted for a while so hi everyone :wave:

Its my nephews 17th birthday next week so need to get his hamper made up to be delivered on Saturday. I have pretty much got the contents sorted but need help with some ideas of what kind of container to use!! Basically the hamper is a holiday/travel themed one as he is going on his first holiday abroad without 'adults' and with his girlfriend next month so decided to use that as my theme. So far I have the following:

Luggage Strap & matching Luggage Tags - black/white chequered design £2
Luggage Strap & matching luggage Tags - for his girlfriend so pink £3
Black Passport Holder - Boots Clearance - £1
Piz Buin 1 Day Long Sachets x4 - Superdrug clearance 10p each
Gillette Aftershave Balm - Boots Clearance £1
Lynx Bullet deodorant bodyspray x4 - £2.93
Sleeping Set - earplugs & eyemask - 0.99p
Travel Game - TicTacToe - £1 (says its ages 4 & up) LOL!
Fold up Flying Disc - £2
Small photo album x2 - 51p each - will decorate
Total spend so far: approx £15

what would be a good container do you think?

TIA

then i put money in the box for his tattoo
Box was from Ikea think it was £3.89 for 2.

I also made a "Daddies feel better box" which is for his work van he works outside and quite often catches a cold so i thought it would be useful...

*Airwaves
*Sore throat soothers
*Paraceptamol *SP*:o
*Antiseptic Hand gel (so his hands are germ free when he eats his lunch)

I'm so happy My parents loved their anniversary present and said it's nice for someone to put so much thought into it because it's very rare anyone does!

I know we have commented on how lovely these are before but I dont think they have ever been this cheap before?

Ideal for making hampers.
