    You can make a smelly themed hamper for around £6.00
    Pound land is a brilliant place to go to fill hampers. Look for 3 for 2 offers , bogof offers and half price , always look in the reduced section for bits to add. Pound land do a 5 pack of face flannels , put one in each hamper add a bar of soap , some pound deodrant ect and bobs ur uncle lol.

    I also done my mum a advent hamper , each pressie had a number 1-25 and each pressie was little things, plastic ring , soap , flannel ect. she loved it.

    Baskets can be found cheap from wilkos , matalan , ect

    Thats no problem, i have some photos? if you want to look? also , if you want to make a "fancy one" you can buy cellophane of ebay/hobby craft :). Card factory is also a really good place to go for birthday cups/glasses/teddies/large cards ect , for cheap prices

    My throat seems to be playing up again :(

    £1.20 In the sealed tin today :) if i keep this up , in 2-3 weeks ill need a new tin , whey hey x
