I had asked what to get my cousin's two small children for Christmas, and as they hadn't really asked for much I was asked if I would mind getting them a voucher for a DVD or computer game. After seeing this thread I thought I would try and make it more "exciting" so done a "Big Night in at the Movies" Hamper.

I was quite pleased with it but wasn't sure if I was just feeling chuffed with myself so when I showed it to my son for his honest opinion he asked could he have one too so he must have liked it too.



To make it a bit more personal, I put each of the vouchers into DVD cases which I had made personalised DVD covers entitled

"Euan & Eilidh's Big Night in at the Movies"

Starring:-

• Vouchers for New DVDs
• Two Share Size Bags of Doritos
• Two Tubes of Pringles for Sharing
• Four Family Bags of Chocolates
• Microwaveable popcorn (so it is hot and fresh just like the cinema)
• Three Bottles of Water
• Three Bottles of Fizzy Drinks

With Guest Stars

• A Couple of Cans of Beer for Dad

Unfortunately I am not very good at arranging so some of the bottles and sweets are actually underneath the rest of the goodies - but I thought it came out okay.

Total (excluding the vouchers) was just under £12.00 and hopefully there is enough stuff there for a few "big nights in"
