My best friend gave birth to a beautiful daughter at the weekend and I put together this hamper for her and her partner and the baby I made the hamper up mainly of neutral coloured things and then added some pink stuff once I found out it was a girl.

Hi, I'm a very long timer lurker,and now first time poster!
I'm currently putting together a new baby hamper for a friend who's due in October, and yours is gorgeous!
any chance you could give us a breakdown of what you've popped in there, and where its from. Obviously the stuff like huggies is obvious, but the babygros (I'm guessing that's what is by the cups) and things. It would be wonderful if you could.
Congrats on a beautiful hamper too!:T

I love those cups where did you get them ? :j

Finally popped in to Sainsburys last night for these mugs. They are now clearance for 49p, but scanned at 47p. Ours only had one or two left. Just in case any one was interested, seem to have killed this thread tho!

Who's the Mummy Mug - £1.49 Sainsburys
Who's the Daddy Mug - £1.49 Sainsburys
My Mummy is Gorgeous Just Like me and Daddy is Perfect just like me (set of 2 baby grows from Primark £2.00)
Yummy Mummy Socks - £1.00 Tesco (these were on sale around mother's day)
Baby On Board Sign £1.xx Tesco
Disney Feeding Bowl x 2 - 99p each from 99p stores
Mini Mode set of 5 bibs - 2.50 reduced from £5.00 in January sales

Just a quick one from me, MIL called last night and asked if I could make up an old age hamper for her uncles 70th birthday which is sat! I had to get it done and in the post today!!! The box was a little big but at such short notice there wasn't time to do anything else!

I just came across this carry case on halfcost for £1 and thought it might be a fun alternative to a basket for a hamper. I thought it might be good if you are putting a small hamper together for children (or grown ups!) especially for craft baskets.

This site is brilliant, does anyone know any other similar ones? Some real bargains there :j
