Finished baskets!!

Ally

Have almost finished 2 kiddies hampers ... just waiting on the DVD's ..... it's a bath and late movie hamper

In each one, I have put in really soft fluffy PJ's .... soft fluffy thick sock thingies .... couple of butterfly bath bombs .... babyliss mini hair brush and mini key chain mirror (the ones that cost a couple of pence) and hair bands .... 2 packs of their fav crisps (they don't like popcorn:rolleyes: ... big pack of their fav sweets, bottle of their fav drinks ... and 2 movies. Have also got them some fur blankets to huddle up in Will let them open their hampers on Xmas eve;)

Have also finished baby hamper for my friend. Only decided not to use cellophane wrap .... 'cos ... well ... you can see everything:o Have decided to go with foil wrap ... so must remeber to get some :rolleyes:

I also did little sweet parcels for other kids (boys) and for girls .. hair brush, mirror and sweets ... wrapped in tissue paper and cellophane:D

All done now ..... bad news is ... have ordered a piece of jewellery for O/H from Dubai ... but won't get here till 26th So will try and get the Wii for him or maybe even the PSP .... but he did say that he now doesn't want either of them and he was just mucking about:rolleyes: I know he really want the stuff from Dubai and he said he doesn't mind waiting ... as long as he gets it

These hampers are lovely.

Piratess: I am sure your daughters will LOVE them. They beat any bog standard selection box and are filled with lots of lovely goodies that they will enjoy. I don't know any female that wouldn't be delighted with a basket of goodies.

Here's the one I've made for my OH's Mum...


It contains teddy, bottle of Tia Maria (her fave tipple!), Tia Maria Glass, Tia Maria chocs, Ferreo Rocher chocs, fluffy bed socks, leather purse, choc candle and shower scrunchie. It's a bit of a 'mixed' hamper, but stuff she likes or wanted (...i.e. the purse). I showed my Mum and she said it was brilliant and something she would be made up to receive. Little does she realise that I have already done her the following...


This one contains Polar bear soft toy, bath pillow, bath bombs, shower scrunchie, mug, hot choc, mini grate & whisk, choc candle, hair wrap, bath spa lights, mini hot water bottle, fluffy bed socks and shower gel. It's not her 'main present' as I've got other stuff for her as well.

I can't wait to give them!

I just wish I was getting something like this myself ...how would you tell someone to make you a hamper?

Just in case anyone is after some inspiration for baskets, on Sky today (UKTV Food) Jamie Oliver is doing a programme about food gifts you can make to put into hampers. Think it is around 4 pm (ish)!!!

These are all fab! Love all the photos
I've done hampers for my mum, my dad and my sister.. not quite complete yet and I've only purchased the cellophane wrap from eBay today :j but I'll take pictures and post when everything is received.

I didn't do baskets this year as I'd done most of my shopping when I started reading all your threads.

I'm inspired for next year and I reckon lots of people are going to get themed baskets from me.

I intend to be a good girl and write out my lists in Jan and shop for them throughout the year.

Thank you all for the fabtastic photo's and excellent ideas

Having already made up my hampers and posted them already earlier on this thread I got a surprise the other night when I was visiting my nana. My uncle lives in New Zealand and is currently working in the Solomon Islands. He has made up a hamper and sent it over to Nana and it contains loads of luxury food items and wine! Glad I didn't do the hamper thing for her this year as she has received this one of items she would never think of buying herself, or that you can't get here and mine would have the can of garden peas and packet of rich teas in it!!! lol
