Thanks for the encouragement for the Essential Hamper for my "difficult" DH and for all the extra ideas.

I do like the "Jar of Nothing" idea - not sure how he really would like it in reality though . We could soon find out!

it would raise a smile, I made my mum one too but giving her a night in hamper as well .. few minutes later tho!

For my pamper hampers I managed to pick up cosy blankets from Tesco tonight reduced to £1.25 each!!! they weren't even priced as that on the shelves, had to use their price checker scanner in the store to find out their price!

where abouts in tescos are they? is it with the bedding section?

So much for my no spend October, I've just "bought" the free Terry Wogan book from Bangzo for FIL grumpy old man hamper.

Hi all,
I need some help with inspiration, I have pretty much sorted what to make/buy for everyone although I am stuck with
2 year old boy (friends child) so don't need much just a token gift
and
2 sets of auntie and uncles (they live away so would need to be posted and not heavy or expensive)
They usually send a present jointly, usually cheque if there not visiting.
Really stuck as for my hubbys aunts/uncle I usually bake goodies and do them up in a hamper/stocking but can't send this in the post

Thanks for reading x
