Just wanted to show my valentine hampers. They're not wrapped and boxes I made were a bit small but I think my family will like them, hope you do too.



Thank you for taking time to look.

I love your hampers soblivion!
I made a Valentine's Movie Night Hamper for my boyfriend.
4 Dvds (although one hasn't yet arrived from Amazon!), some popcorn, pick and mix sweets, and mixed little chocolate treats (maltesers, revels, minstrels etc.) as well as four cans of different fizzy drinks and a few chocolate bars. Oh yes and in the card at the back there's money for a take-away). I gave it to him a few hours ago and he loved it, I was very chuffed
I'd love to post a pic but don't know how it says attach url but I just have the picture saved in a folder in my computer.. Help!

Thank you rosekitten. I made myself a huge cookie too, so I'm going to enjoy that with my coffee in the morning.

Hope you enjoyed your cookie you deserved it after putting those hampers together - they're lovely! Well done :T

Hi passion8, thank you, I made the containers myself

Biscuit tins and red envelopes and white card was all I had to hand, I think if anyone had a nice roll of paper they would look better as you wouldn't have as many joins. Specially for the round one but I managed to cover it hearts so it doesn't notice badly.

:T I am sooo impressed with you all and am feeling so inspired that I decided to do a valentines hamper for OH, wrapped in cellophane and a big red bow, with a tag saying "John's favourite things" containing...

- "nuts" magazine- tried to get playboy, but tescos didn't have it:rotfl:
- His fave lynx stuff
- Mint matchmakers, which he adores
- Cheese and onion square crisps- ditto
- Posh Lemon curd- he looooves this
- Galaxy choc bars - his fave choc
- Jammie dodgers- because they have hearts in the middle

and some love hearts thrown in for good measure:p

He will be met at the door by my dog, who will have a heart helium balloon tied to her collar!

Would take a pic, but camera has thrown a wobbly

Mum took me to Tescos to get it all, as I have been ill all week and am still a bit wobbly. I was trying to explain the hamper concept to her and she is hooked already too and has even bought a few bits for easter and birthday hampers this year:T

reehsetin

not strictly a basket but i like it:p:o

mug was from the boots sale and the candles from "the good fairy":D

if anyone has a better place for me to put the card let me know please!
