    Here is the box I made for my colleague:

    It includes a cafetierre, mug, pack of posh coffee, 3 packs of hotel chocolat chocolate and lots of little chocolates. Cost me about £20 - £25 :)

    Oh dear, please don't blame me :rotfl: ;)

    He wouldn't believe me anyway! :rotfl: I'll just blame the obsessive hamper making on you instead! :beer: :rotfl: :T

    He keeps protesting at the amount of stuff in the spare room (that I bought in the January sales). He doesn't realise that it's going to save him money in the long run (that's what I tell him anyway :D )

    Hi everyone, I was just browsing the Toys R Us website looking for a present for my nephew and found these, apparently they can be bought in Babies R Us as well as on the website. I'm not sure whether the Toys R Us stores will stock them though. Thought the may come in handy for hampers.
