Hi Jamtart,

Your sweet hampers are fab - what did you use as the base, it is a flower pot? and how have you made all the sweets stay put? I've done my hampers for this year, but may have to copy this one for next.

Thanks

Yeah its a plant pot - think they are orgininally done with popcorn boxes for some unknown reason, but I had oasis which wasnt going to be sturdy enough in a flimsy cardboard box.

I think you could use :

Plant pot + Oasis
or
Popcorn Box + Clay/Plasticine

HTH :j

This is the hamper I made for my friends birthday - it was a chill out and relax type! It had a dressing gown in the back (you cant see it), chocolate orange, mug, mini archers, haribo and 3 chick flick books. She absolutely adored it - mainly because it was so thoughtful (she likes all of the above especially books!) sorry about the size, tried to resize without much luck!!!

looks great Jamtart. Notice you have 'instructions' on a little gift tag. I did that in mine too !! Great minds and all that.
I stole your sweetie bouquet idea and made one for my brother last night. He's a pain has asked for money for christmas instead of pressie so I thought it would be a nice way to present it. In a nice envelope surrounded by chocolate! Used a little metal bucket style plant pot (Ikea) and the same method as you with the wooden skewers. Looked a treat!! DH has gone off working in Vienna and took the camera with him so I can't take a picture - grr.

This is the hamper I bought *shock horror* :eek: from Costco for my Grandad. He absolutely adores shortbread etc and it cost me around £18-20 which I worked out I couldn't do for cheaper by buying that type of shortbread in the shops. Just included it to give you guys some ideas....

This a sweety box for my dad for xmas, it has 2 sides, one side is all hard boiled mints, the other are hard boiled fruits. Total cost including box was around £6.
