    Hmmmm I think there is a hotel chocolat in town but not sure, He doesn't like dark chocky and most of the chilli chocky is actually dark. Ideally I would like milk chocky.
    I shall write down your suggestions for the chilli stuff and go shopping ;) Thankyou for your help.

    As for cooling I might put in some of the deep freeze rub ... I was thinking of maybe a couple of mini bottles of wine and a couple of bottles of beer ... originally I was going to do a beer hamper for him ... its just a little something off the kiddies for fathers day!

    Whittards do a chilli hot chocolate.

    £5, or any 3 hot chocs for £12. Yummy! They also make truffles dusted with chilli, chilli mango tea and chocolate coated coffee beans with chilli.
    The Walkers baked crisps with mango & chilli are really nice.
    I had some nice tortilla wraps last night. Discovery Chilli & Jalapeno Flour Tortilla. I *think* they were longer life ones, so should be ok in a hamper. They were from Tesco, but I'm sure most supermarkets will sell them.
    In Home Bargains they had straight to wok noodles infused with chilli for 49p. Might want to pop some loo roll in the hamper...;)
    Sounds like a fun hamper. Look forward to seeing the pics!

    Rusty, love your idea for a chilli hamper :D

    Can anyone please help, I am looking for some ice cream sundae glasses, the tall ones, knickerbocker glory I think they are called. Does anyone know of anywhere that sells them. I want 2 for an ice cream basket I would like to put together ;) I've found places online but with postage the prices are a bit scary.
    :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:

    Poundstretcher has them, and so do some morrisons, and also some instores. Are you looking for glass ones?

    Alernatively send Julie H a pm (she is on the nappy cake thread normally) as I know she buys these for her nappy cake gifts.

    :D What you doing? (just cause I am a nosey cow ;) )
