Cheapest Gift hamper Challlenge

Djalli

Hi,

Just got around to signing up after being a frequent reader for ages. Was really interested in the idea of the website myboxofdelights(co uk). I love the idea of sending a personalised gift hamper to my daughter away at university. Due to the credit crunch i've been trying to keep spending down.

Anyway, I thought it to be a good idea to set the challenge of selecting the cheapest gift combination possible for the smallest box size, without doubling up on items. It may even be useful to those trying to keep to a budget.

£24.13 was the best I could do with 6 different items.

Ginger Cookies
3 pack blueberry muffins
Lemon Curd
Recurrant Jelly
Single Blueberry Filled Muffin
Parsley, Thyme & Lemon Stuffing

BTW these weren't what I eventually sent to my daughter LOL
