I know the post about large bags is far gone but I went to my local poundland today and the ones they had in were gorgeous. One with a photo of a dog on with a xmas hat on and one with a rabbit with ear muffs on in the snow. They were gorgeous. Hope this helps.

i saw some giant gift bags in Matalan that would be big enough to put a hamper in.

This thread has inspired me and as my dh loves Top Gear I decided to make him a Top Gear hamper. I have used an empty Tesco organic vege box as it is a good size and has a window in the top. Inside will be 3 books - 1 each from each of the presenters, a TG dvd, cd, callander and magazine. I will also include couple bottles of beer, choccies and nuts. Tried to get a TG t-shirt but decided they were too expensive. Hope someone finds this useful.
