Xmas eve hamper - better than last year

mac666_2

Hi

I make xmas eve hampers for my kids. But am struggling this year for ideas for my 9 (will be 10 five days before xmas) dd1.

Normally i buy her some character bits but she seems to have outgrown that kind of thing now. I am really after some nice not to grown up toiletries for her bath and some little extras that are a bit more grown up.

Any ideas would be very welcome as i am totally blank and can't think right now

How about a few bits of jewellery? Necklace/bracelet - even earrings if she has her ears pierced - you can get nice bits for a couple of quid from almost any supermarket/Primark. Lush do a 'lush' range of bath products, and have a fab Christmas range! There's a couple of brilliant threads you could take a look at -

Does she enjoy anything in particular? My daughter enjoys baking and she loves getting some baking ingredients or baking implements - bowl, cookie cutters, apron etc, of her very own. Sorry if some of my ideas are a bit 'young' for your daughter, my little girl's only 7 so I'm not sure just how different 7 and 9/10 year olds are! x

Just wanted to say, I ordered three snowmen mugs from Avon for our Christmas Eve hamper - they arrived tonight and are lovely!! They're currently £5 but that's offer price, they're normally £8 I think - anyway, they're lovely!!

Hi I saw some of these in both pink and blue in Dunelm Mill a couple of weeks ago, so it might be worth having a look if you have one near in case they still have them

I cant get them to add into my basket yet Might have to pop along to the store and check them out

I've got one of each colour in my basket. I don't have a store near me Are they definitely the boxes that you can write on with chalk because it doesn't mention it on the description?
