Hi
Sorry me again - just looking for some general advice and ideas - I am thinking of doing my sort of FIL a hamper for Christmas and he loves coffee so I am going with that theme - I usually spend about £30 - 35 on him. So far for the hamper I am going to include a coffee plant (if I can get one in winter!!!!!), some dark chocolate covered coffee beans, which I will make myself then wrap up the rest of the beans as they are, two cups and saucers/maybe espresso cups but other than that I am stumped! That will only come to £20 max - it doesn't have to come to the full amount but I want it to look substantial so any ideas would be gratefully received!

Hi I'm making a coffee hamper for my OH for Christmas, so far I've got-

Giant mug
Some 10p sachets of Options coffee we have at work - latte and cappucino
Some cappucino flavoured coffee wafers in a tin
Chocolate covered esspresso beans
A jar of high caffeine coffee
Some ground coffee to go into his caffetiere
Some homemade coffee truffles or something

Also doing a cocktail hamper for my brother's girlfriend with

Two martini glasses
Funky ice cube tray
Some small bottles of homemade flavoured vodka - blackberry, toffee and cola cube
Some mini alcohol bottles, maybe archers, tequila etc
Jar of cocktail cherries
Maybe some fancy swizzle sticks

And a nice food hamper for my OHs parents, not decided exactly what's going in that yet though!

Thanks in advance!

That sounds awesome Just a couple of ideas...?

The FB group is a bit quiet, what can we do to get it going again?
Maybe a group challenge or task. Pick one item to make and we can all post our pics etc?
