Need some ideas please

I'm absoloutely loving the hampers and have already made one for my sister and a joint one for other sister and bil.

For my sister i done an everydays essentials hamper including tweezers, deoderant, body spray, hair spray, make up and a diary.

For my sister and bil i done a night in hamper including 2 hot water bottles, blanket, couple of wine glasses and bottle of wine - am going to attempt chocolate slabs too this wkd!

But im having trouble with my mum, dad and brother

They seem to have everything!!! my brother is 16 not really into football but is into girls!

As for my parents i was thinking a joint hamper but havent a clue what to include!!

Please can you give me some inspiration!!

Thank you

    Lynx bullets on the grabbits board for your brother.

    Fancy hair wax? Mints for his pockets or breath spray? One of those clickers for counting girls like in the lynx advert? Razors/shaving cream for when the time comes? Phone case/Ipod case?
  • Love the clicker idea:T just ordered 1 now Thanks

    Voucher to say you will act as a taxi for a night for him and his mates?

    Cinema ticket voucher?

  • Is your brother into football or another sport? You could get him a football shirt, football, socks, water bottle etc.

  • No unfortunately hes not, but ive had the ideas of a clicker, little black book, I also got him a book of chat up lines so think am going to go down the line of a pulling type hamper - but he is only 16 so dont want to encourage too much naughtiness!!:eek: So any more ideas for that type of theme would be great!

    Thank you

    I think a 'pulling' hamper's a fab idea! I like the ideas already suggested of some lynx or similar. What about some hair wax? Maybe collect a few free aftershave samples from Boots to dot around the hamper? Chewing gum/mints? The 'record bowl' (an old vinyl record heated and formed into a bowl shape) might be a fab idea to use for the hamper itself to hold all the stuff, and maybe some itunes vouchers or similar?

    Oooh I've just found a site called www.geezers.co.uk who have some fab men's hair products. There's even a wax called 'on the pull'!

    HTH!

    I’m back and more determined than ever!!!!!
