Top Gear Hamper; Suggestions Please?

Options
I am looking to make a Top Gear (or racing related) hamper and wanted to know of any recommendations. I have so far got the Where's Stig? book from bookpeople (plus Quidco) and will be getting the Stig bubblebath £1.99 from B&M tomorrow (seen today).

Any other items/places that anyone can recommend? Quite like the checkered flag that someone recommended in the F1 hamper thread...

Thanks

    Hokay I made one of these for my OH, this was before all the proper top gear and stig stuff came out this year!!!!

    So there are these bits and bobs HERE some are quite expensive but at the minute there is a 33% off voucher code which really brings the prices right down!

    Then there is a stiggy bank @ sainsburys for £5
    Top gear midlife crisis book (dependant on age of person it is for?)
    Top gear magazine (available monthly)
    Stig cup (play/amazon)
    Top gear cool wall (I had to make my own!!!!!! but they are approx £10 from play.com)
    Stig duvet covers (single and double - play.com again!)
    top gear top trumps cards
    Stig keyrings
    top gear bubble bath (wilkinsons)
    My dad is the Stig tshirt (or other top gear/stig Tshirts!)

    Anyway thats all I can think of off the top of my head!! Will try and find the pic of the one I did for my OH in Jan!

    Wow! That's fab! I will have a look out for the money box, looks good. I think I saw a poster too that you can customise with the person's name and it says "X is the Stig".

    Thanks

  • Home Bargains has got the Top Gear activity books at the moment, with the "cool wall" and the models from the amphibious vehicle challenge to make. I think they were £1.99 each, bought them for hubby for Xmas.

    Apparently B&M also have the Stig Soap on a Rope for £1.89 SEE HERE


    And Menkind have loads of fab Top Gear stuff but not necessarily the cheapest you will find

    Thanks everyone... going to scout H&B and B&M tomorrow and see what I can find. Don't really want to pay more than a few quid per piece, the cheaper the better!
