World Cup Fever Hamper!!

Posts: 290 Forumite
Yes, I'm at it again! It's my brother's birthday this month and I was struggling to come up with a gift, so I decided to put together a World Cup hamper as he is football mad!!
Now, the thing is, I will have to send the hamper to Ireland so it can't be too heavy. He will be 27 but is a big kid really
Ideas so far are:
World Cup wall chart
The sticker book with some packs of stickers (he was absolutely crazy about these when we were kids!)
A pint glass
Some kind of drinking game
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very grateful. Also, I am kind of struggling with what to put it all in, as I think a basket would not go down well!!
As always, thank you lovely people xx :beer:
Ps: No Henry Jokes! Unless it is some kind of voodoo doll I can put in there :rotfl:

You'll prob get a better response over on the special occasions board as I've seen ideas for hampers on there all the time. There's a thread in there somewhere which has a whole list of stuff for using as the actual hamper. Link to board . How about a cool box or one of those cool bags that you can freeze? I have a small one but it still holds 6 cans. This one holds 48 so would fit lots of stuff.0

One of the big sports shops are doing England Football car kits £3.29 instead of £32 plus - i got one and they're really good.A home is not a home ..... without a dog

Nice, however grabbit is for (as the name suggests) short term grabbits and not requests. This isn't, so the special occasions board would have been better.0

Thank you everyone - some fab ideas xx
Sorry, I know it's in the wrong place, I tried listing in the Special Occassion forum and then lost the post!! I gave up searching because I thought it was a computer glitch and the post had not gone live!! Only found it this morning :rotfl:
Apologies again & cheers for the inspiration - The cool bag is a fab idea!
How do I move the thread to the correct place?0 -
There was lots of football stuff in Wilkinsons when I went in yesterday - they are usually pretty cheap.
