We've had the 24hr bug too - going around DS' nursery, plus he's had a bad chest infection - lost his voice too, never known the house so quiet!!!

Princess - I hope you and your family are better soon xxx

Hi, Just catching up on this thread and loving the hamper ideas. Just wondering whether we could somehow start a list of hamper ideas, ones that people are making up for family members. I would love to do some original ones but a bit slowon the ideas at the mo!!!

Is it possible to make a list in a thread that's fairly easy to read rather than having to go through the whole thing?
Thanks and festive wishes to all !!!!!

Can I add a few ideas?
Driving hamper-I did one with a road map, wind up torch, L plates, air freshener, furry dice, sat nag, ice scraper, disposable gloves and hand warmers.

Stationary hamper-Pen, writing stuff, address book, address labels, box to store it all in

Cozy night in hamper-Mug, hot chocolate, fleece throw, PJ's, hot water bottle.

Gardening hamper-I did one for my friend containing a gnome radio, pin handled tools, keyring, book, mug/coaster set, all in a canvas gardening bag.

Sex & the City hamper-My best friend loves this so I put in a CD of the music from the show, a cosmopolitan cocktail drink, SATC game, cocktail book and a bar of Galaxy with SATC compitition on.

Shopaholic hamper-Did this my mum last year and had great fun finding this for it! Pen with shopaholic on, notepad to write all the bargains on, energy tablets, cans of ready made iced coffee, gel inserts for her shoes, tax disc holder (says "whoever says money can't buy you happiness, doesn't know where to shop!), tissues, and a shopaholic sign.

Christmas lovers hamper- :xmassmile Christmas DVD's, oil burner and wax tarts, xmas cross stitch kits, cranberry soap, xmas penguin salt & pepper set, mulled wine fruit tea, candy canes, christmas scratchcard, mulled wine candle, cranberry vodka chocs, xmas bottle opener and some pasta in the shape of moose heads (they almost looked like reindeer!) :rudolf:

Also did a Plymouth Argyle one for my Dad & stepmum.

Driving myself crazy at the moment going through my christmas list and trying to see what hampers I can make out of what I've bought, and what else I need to buy. I bought TONS of bits in the Boots sale, but it's who to give what to....:santa2:

Think I'm doing a party hamper for my brother and his fiance. Have a chocolate fountain from the Boots sale, and some chrome wine stoppers, festive plates, and a ice bucket/tub that I could put it all in. Any other ideas?

Oooh the dreaded 24hr bug has hit DS's school big time, half the teachers are off ill and there not sure if they will be open tommmorw due to staffing issues and child ratio's.

So DS will probably get tommorrow off school. It's DD's 2nd birthday on thursday and i really hope it holds off getting her until saturday otherwise her birthday party will be ruined on friday.

I've really fancied doing the Movie Lovers Hamper but was put off because all my 'movie lovers' buy any film they really like immediately. But have just seen this
http://www.woolworthsentertainment.c...2/8573690.html on the Grabbit board and I think it will be great with the pop corn etc, etc and I'm sure everyone will love it and isn't likely to have it already:D Such a good price too - I ordered 4:p
