Hello all.

I decided to make 2 gardening hampers.. for children

1 boy
1 girl

So far each one has childrens gardening gloves and a blue/pink shaped water spray bottle.. i was thinking of a packet of seeds and maybe a small plastic flower pot?

i have loads of kids in my family so i dont even know when/who i will give them to

the gloves were 25p each in a asda sale and the spray bottles 25p in asda sale x

Hi junoir_ j,
In Home Bargains last week I saw some pottery head type things that grows "hair" out of the top. They looked quite funny and I bet kids would love them.

I am doing a French themed foodie hamper for chef DS2. So far have got:-

Elizabeth David's "French Provincial Cooking" from Amazon, £9.74, used vouchers and as bought other stuff the book only cost £2.11 !

Picked up some French stuff in a nice deli, Wild Boar Terrine £2.95, Beurre de Homard £2.95 and some French honey £3.69.

Plan to add smoked garlic (from a French supplier online once I know the cost! ) and French cheeses nearer the time.

Have also got him a lovely Balsamic vinegar which isn't French but Scottish but we use it and it's lovely.

Also a bottle of something suitably French - he doesn't drink red wine so thought maybe Calvados or just a decent white wine.

Wild Boar Terrine £2.95, Beurre de Homard £2.95 Sorry to sound stupid but what is that? Is it something I can buy now if the BBE date is after christmas? I was hoping to buy stuff which can make a meal, as the indian hamper is going to be able to get a meal out of it, and the french hamper is for my godfathera nd the indian one for my godmother - their fave cuisines!
