hi,

my auntie has just ask me to make a hamper up for her boyfriends daughter, who is 13/14yrs.I have about £10/£15 to spend on it any ideas on what icould include, the only thing i know she likes in high school muscial type films,

thanks.

My youngest was 14 on her last birthday and I made her a hamper, these are the kind of things I put in it:-

Jacqueline Wilson book (teen stuff apparently)
pink lip balm
body spray
high school musical calendar
fancy shampoo/conditioner
eye shadow
chocolate
hair bands or scrunchies
nail varnish
nail buffers
cleansing wipes

Best places to get these Poundland (try here first), Asda (do some great make up and mini version of shampoo/conditioner/body spray on 3 for 2), Semi-Chem, Wilkos.

Hope this helps

:T :T Your chalkboard hampers look lovely and really colourful - kids are going to love them. Think the Bear workshop is a great idea

love the tags did you make those yourself?????

Thanks everyone.

gingababe - i did indeed make them myself. I was ill off work and needed something to do that didn't involve looking at a screen so i thought i would make some labels. I think they turned out pretty good and i might have to do it for christmas pressies aswell

Hi saw these craft kits for £2 on the entertainer site and thought they might be useful for a child's craft basket http://www.thetoyshop.com/Toys/ArtsAndCrafts/CraftCases/PRD~324954_2232/Play+with+Clay+Craft+Case.jsp
don't forget quidco!

Well I have been upstairs and figured out what else I needed for the 2 hampers for the children gone into a different cupboard and everything I needed I already had! woohoo! So every year for birthday and christmas we take the children to the teddy bear workshop to get a new bear. (my son has a cow that is 4 years old and starting to get a hole!) We only do it for special occasions as the bears are quite expensive, so just as a little add on I have made up a voucher each for them and plan to put it in there baskets. What do you think?

The writing says:
This voucher entitles Thomas/Maddison~Mae to one visit to the Build A Bear Workshop, to build a new bear, give the bear a new name and give the bear a loving home forever. Oh and I stole images off google! which probably isn't allowed but

hey i work at the bear shop...and if the cow has a whole in him u'l have to bring him back in on your visit and we'l try and stitch it back up or something. also have you signed up for promotions and offers because head office tend to send our tons and tons of vouchers and we are more then willing to put as many through as possible for you.

edit: whoooooopsy just read the post about you ringing the store lol lol sorrry

Well i've finally had five minutes to make up my Godsons hamper. I did initially put more in it but it didn't really work and I only wanted to spend a tenner. I will be wrapping it up later when i've got another five mins (nappy cakes taking over a bit at mo).
