How about a small recipe book full of yummy chocolate recipes such as biscuits and cakes? You should be able to pick one up from a bookshop or supermarket for just a couple of £s (I have a couple of cheap ones with lots of lovely recipes).

I would like to do a hamper with a 'chocolate theme' but im lost for ideas :think:

I did a Chocolate hamper for my SIL last year - I found some slipper socks in Boots that had chocoholic logos on. I bought some of this chocolate cream liqueur which although it's £10 a bottle is so scrummy I bought myself a bottle too!! I found some Green & Black's minature bars on offer at Tesco's. Also I had the mug and sachets of chocolate drink and a chocolate candle.

m&s have a box of 4 small chocolate bath bombs in a lovely little gift box and wrapped individually in gold foil to make them look like proper yummy chocolate!

It's my DD's 9th birthday on Tuesday. She's already had her main present, which is a bike, a few weeks ago.

As she's off with her dad this afternoon I have taken the opportunity to make her up a mini hamper to give to her on the day. It's made up of everything she loves - pink, fluffy, cute animals ....and SWEETS! The main part of the hamper is 'Catz' game for gameboy advance, but I've concealed it behind most of the other bits as a surprise.



Hamper basket - 19p (charity shop)
Catz GBA Game - £4.87 (can't remember where it is from, but it was a special offer I found via HotUKDeals a couple weeks ago + a 10% off code).
Fluffy cat socks - £1.00 (Primark)
Cat design crop tops - £2.50 (Primark)
Fluffy pink pen - £1.00 (Lloyds chemist)
Cat Ornaments - 39p each (Bitz)
Cat notebook - 39p (Bitz)
Candy Canes - 39p each (Happy Days)
Tiama Body Spray - 59p (Brian Fords)
Trident Chewing Gum - Freebie (posted on MSE)
Misc sweets - £1.50 (approx)
TOTAL = £13.60

I'm waiting for some clear cellophane to arrive before I can wrap it.

Hi

I'm new to MSE, but I've been looking at all these hampers for ages and they are fabulous, I've been inspired!

I have finished and wrapped four for my team at work (I'm a supervisor and thought it was a lovely idea to show my team how much I appreciate them) I will get round to posting a piccie.

My question anyway...

I am making a "Bathtime Bliss" hamper for my bf's mum. In it I am putting: some dove bath stuff, a mini bottle of champers, an exfoliator sponge, a CD (for her to listen to whilst soaking) and some candles. I have also added some pj's and some bed sox (knitted by my wonderful Nanna) for after her bath to snuggle down in.

I was wondering if anyone can think of a little poem I can put on the tag to explain the basket??

Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.
