    Well I am in my element ... I have just made up a marmite hamper for OH ... couldn't get the marmite chedder cheeses yet as I cannot keep the hamper in the fridge without him knowing and I can't wrap it yet either cause I have run out of cellophane :(
    (please excuse the mess in the picture I have taken over the dining room whilst OH is on his last week of working away!
    What do you think?

    Did you see the Martmite cookery book? The Book People have it for £2.99 at the moment (search for free delivery code-there's usually one floating around!), and I think I saw this book in the Works too. They do a Heinz tomato ketchup one & a HP one if that helps anyone. Sorry-am pretty much much done with my shopping now, so I'm being a bad influence on everybody else. No-one wants to come out with me at the moment...:rolleyes:

    Rustyflange - that is GENIUS! Now I know what I can do for my sis, who luuuuurves Marmite!! There may still be some marmite with Guiness kicking around in the shops - if not, try ebay!

    98jdougl - Ed Monkton is fab! I have about 15 of his mugs - love it! David is very well dressed but has his own kind of style......he's interested in fashion design etc......Just thought that may be a good angle but otherwise he's getting a pamper hamper!
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    Really easy to find, I did my homework yesterday then bought all that today.
    the rice creckers, biscuits and crackerbread type stuff were in morrisons near the cream crackers, as were the breadsticks. Pots of marmite can be found near the jams and then the pack of walkers were 35p from my local shop, if you can't find these I can pick you up some and pop over with them but it will cost you a cuppa ;)
    At the moment they do a limited edition champagne marmite aswell ... I am still debating about buying that. Tescos sell the cheese near the babybels in the fridges and you should be able to find everything at a tescos :)
