    Love the Top Gear hamper - I'm doing one for my hubby for crimbo - yours looks fab & was just wondering where you got the black & white paper from - or is it tea towels!! I've got everything else I need but that finishes yours off a treat!! :D

    My best friend gave me a chocolate themed hamper this Christmas. I was thrilled with it! :j It contained some Quality Street (including a purple one-my fave!), some rum truffles, chocolate scented socks, a chocolate face mask, chocolate coloured flannel, chocolate bath fizzers,
    a handbag mirror that looks like a chocolate bar, some fab reindeer slippers (to wear when I eat the chocolate?) and it was all inside a chocolate coloured handbag. Hope this hamper idea catches on with my friends and family! Loving receiving a hamper as much I enjoy putting them together.

    Will keep up with this post with great interest!!!

    GC = £150.58/£250
  • Hey everybody
    Its my friends 14th birthday soon, and I want to do her a '14 things for your 14th birthday' hamper, but I've never made hampers before, so need a bit of help.
    I think I'm going to get the 101 running songs CD because she likes to go jogging.
    She's very healthy so I don't want to give her to many sweetie-type things although I think a choc bar will be one of them...
    Just need some suggestions really?
    Thanks
    xx
