    I am making my friend a "fence judging hamper" (as we judge horses jumping fences at cross country events together) she is throughly disorganised and has to borrow a flask on cold days and got sunburnt at one event this summer.
    So hamper gonna contain: Flask, hot choc, fleece blanket, sun cream, fly repellant, pens & pencils, British Eventing Rule book, big bar choc, tea bags and ..... I want to get some individual milks/sugars ... any ideas where to buy these from? I haven't the first clue!

    I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who suggested the colouring pages, it was really helpful and I've just printed off loads to make into a little book. Hopefully it will look nice with the other bits I have for my niece. I also found a few thomas colouring sheets in the pound shop that came in a pack with some crayons and some stickers, so I got those to go with them, although I'll just put them as part of the book.

    Just bought this for my brother - not Marmite themed in the slightest but he'll love it!

    Hehehe :D

    Oh, and just wanted to say, I just popped into the Works and the Marmite cookbooks are £3.99 in Manchester - however they're £2.99 here:

    He's funky lillian and thankyou for the code/link :D Will order one this afternoon I think :)

    I am now thinking that as I so far have marmite goodies and beer I might just do him a munchies and beer hamper as I am spending loads on his CBT course and he has a sphering day aswell as a stocking so This could be the route to go down instead. I am doing him a pot of gold and a sweet box aswell which could all go in with that ... do you think thats silly? I could possibly buy a Blu ray dvd aswell and make it into a extra huge movie hamper?

    Oooh also I have just been clearing out the garage and came across a smellies gift set I recieved off my sil last year is it wrong to think about putting that in a hamper with some real ale, shortbread thorntons and then this smelly set to make up a gift set for the kids great gandma and grandad? I have only met them a handful of times but I felt awful when last christmas I recieved a gift card from them for £20 (only met them once before) so this year they are on the list. do you think that would work ok?

    All of the new hampers look just great ladies, I keep popping in and looking at your lovely pics. I also put a thank you in the hamper pics only thread to let you know I appreciate all the ideas and that you post the pics for us to look at.
    Hope all is going well and your all on top of things - it's looming really fast now.
    Well we're nearly sorted here, I just have to do this candle for my SIL, a retro type sweet box for my son and an ice cream hamper for him also then I'm finished.
    My DD leaves on Monday - backpacking round a lot of the world, back late February. We're going out to celebrate (mmm doesn't feel like the right word to me LOL) on Saturday and it will be my 42nd birthday too, so I'm sure I'll be :beer: or 2.

    EDIT: I think that's a perfect idea Rusty
