    BHS have loads of chilli things in.

    My daughter married a few weeks ago so they are just setting up their 1st home. They both love Mexican food so I plan to do them a hamper for christmas, not the food just dishes bowls plates recipe books etc. Any suggestions of what I could get and also what would look good to put it all in please. Maybe even an apron or 2!


    Spices, Tequila, Kahlua, Jalapenos, Tortillas, Black Beans, Pinto Beans, Chipotle, Salsa, Guacamole.

    Have a look here for ideas:

    What about a Fajita Sizzler Amazon have a few Mexican cookbooks with good ratings.

    Depending on how adventurous they are with cooking you could get them a Tortillero so they can make their own tortillas.

    I made my PIL one last year for Christmas. The contents were:
    tortilla warming basket
    griddle pan and stand
    chilli oil
    red chillis
    jalepeno chillis
    mini oven glove
    mexican cookbook
    refried beans
    tortillas

    Hope this helps

    since you're looking for non food items, how about a brightly coloured Mexican-style oilcloth for the table?
