Ideas for a hamper of yukk!

I had the idea to make my nephew (10) a hamper of yukky things which I'm going to put it a draw string bag that has bugs printed all over it. I started out with some fun ideas, mostly from Hawkins Bazzar but it started to work out expensive so now the ideas have dried up does anyone have any ideas I could add or use instead? :confused:

Ideas so far :
SQUIDGY BODY PARTS £2.99 (HB),
SUPER SNOT £2.99 (HB),
SPIDER TILE PUZZLE £2.99 (HB),
POOING ANIMAL KEYRING 99P (HB),
GYO ALIEN £1.00 (ASDA),
WHOOPIE CUSHION,
WATER BOMBS,

REAL REINDEER POO £4.99 (HB),
or

    for the recipe in a jar you could cuot up jelly cubes and put in some plastic bugs in with the jar ... ok so not strictly a recipe but could be quite effective then he gets to make the jelly himself ;)

    I will have a think for you :)

    Homemade slime? I packaged up the component parts for my nephew for Christmas :D, so not quite a recipe in a jar, but close.
    I used this 'recipe' and printed off instructions from here

    a quick google will bring up other recipes for snot and other variations on slime.

    Recipe in a jar, lime jelly crystals/powder, worms/snakes/bugs etc jelly sweets to set in it. If you have the right size jar would just have to add warm water (jelly powder is a lot more forgiving than jelly tablet/cubes) and shake very thoroughly and would set in the jar! (mess free).
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
  • Poo Cakes?????? Some sort of chocolate brownies or similar??? Sorry Im rubbish but something chocolatey that could be called poo ???
    You can never have enough poo in a bag of yukk :)
  • I did one of these hampers for my nephew at christmas, and I put in a jar of worms in dirt - basically gummi worms in chocolate pudding mix /angel delight. All they do is add the milk and stir, and you have worms in dirt! He loved it, btw! Kids....don't you love em!

    My brother once got a toilet roll and wiped chocolate sauce on it - then packaged it up as "recycled".... :eek:

    You could add strips of paper (or even make a miniature book) of revolting facts you could find from those 'horrible histories' books or off the internet.

    Incidentally, last night I discovered that human excrement is used to induce a high in certain countries. Not the sort of thing to put in a child's hamper probably but an unusual fact if you were making one for an adult.

    celyn - your comment -now that's what I call a yukky idea LOL
