Finished baskets!!

For those stumped for ideas for male hampers Boots have reduced their Hackett & Ted Baker lines. Lots of items around the £1.20 mark ( normally £4 odd )
These would make great hampers for nephews, brothers, partners, dads etc.
Also if you make sure you spend in £5 totals you get a till spit which you can use towards certain skincare therefore getting gifts for a girlie hamper for free.

Hi this is my first hamper i have done!

Unfortunatly i couldn't find any cellophane to wrap it in bigger enough both ways as its a big basket!

There are loads of things for the baby and a few bits for the mum.
I had trouble fitting it all in.:rotfl:

Hi, I made up 2 car hampers in buckets for Christmas. Instead of car chocolates, I put in a tin of hard sweets to keep in the car. I'm not sure what they are called but they are in a small round goldy coloured tin for about a £. I got mine from Lidls, I'm sure you can get mints or fruit flavoured ones. Or if you do end up putting a toy car on a top of a cake Tescos do small single toy cars for 12p.

I've been away not posting for a while but it's great to see the lovely hampers are still continuing. I'm just having a bit of a catch up and looking at the pics. I just know the recipients will just love them.

I did some male 'mini hampers' for easter--two were for car drivers & one a pedestrian.

I found some square boxes about 9" across & 6" deep in Wilkos, & used a large baccie tin for the foot soldier;)

They had:-

• a tube of peppermints for indigestion
• chewing gum for bad breath:p
• paracetamol
• plasters
• disposable gloves
• disposable toilet seat covers
• safety pins
• small bottle of hand sanitizer stuff
• some tablets you can chew if you have a 'runny tummy'
• pack of tissues
• emery board

Basically....I was trying to think of all the things I've been asked for that men never think to carry:D A kindly soul on here also suggested those flurescent safety vests you can sometimes pick up for a pound or two, so I'm going to do another for crimbo that includes a wind-up torch, the vest, an old curtain SIZE=1]to lay on if changing a wheel or something[/SIZE& replace the stuff above. Might even go for those 'emergency ponchos' if I can remember where I've seen them:rolleyes:
