ikkie - love your mums hamper -some good ideas in there I might 'borrow'.........lol:T

cookiedough -always get stuck on 'male stuff' -what a good idea:T

Pablosmummy

Hello i was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me. I want to do my boyfriend (of four years so we're old and boring now ha ha ha) a hamper for christmas.

He has no hobbies.he has no interests. He has no kind of favourite food (infact if it was up to him he'd live off toast) and we both hate the romantic soppy kind of stuff...eg teddys with hearts etc etc. what do I get him???

He's always so difficult to buy presents for, I was hoping a hamper might be easier but nope.

Any ideas?

How about gadgets? You can get electronic sudoku games quite cheaply, hang on there was something on Grabitnow today...

If he likes toast, how about one of those novelty things you put in bread and it toasts with a design on it? Here's an example: http://www.red5.co.uk/Holy-Toast-pr-461.html - but you can get loads of different ones.

A selection of nice spreads for toast? A tea tray to go with it like some others on here have done? A subscription to a magazine that he reads?

Rusty, I LOVE your chalkboard baskets for your kiddies. Where did you get those in the night garden figures - my youngest loves it and would love some of those I'm sure! Think I may steel your Build A Bear voucher idea if you don't mind. Will be lovely after Xmas to go and get the bears!

Cookiedough, love your tea for one tray set, so lovely and looks so expensive, well done!!!

Ikkle, lovely hamper for your mum, great savings too!!!

Have I missed anyone? Hope not, only been away from PC since yesterday afternoon and this thread alone has grown about 4-5 pages!!!

They were from our local tescos, they were priced up at £2.50 (in the sale?) but scanned at above price which I was amazes at. We already have 3 of the dvds for it as Maddison will sit for ages and watch it and nothing else matters when it comes on.

As for the voucher go for it I was a little limited as I don't have all the software on this laptop yet so it was literally just paint I used to make them then printed, backed on card and used fancy scissors to cut round. Last year we took them both a few days before christmas and then the bears were sent to Santa ready to bring on christnas day but think this will be better.

Cookiedough, a golfer can never have enough golf stuff and your hamper was truly FAB

I need to talk my OH round about the sweet caddies Rusty, maybe I'll send him your way? To go with the sweet caddies for OH's brothers I've ordered vouchers to get annual magazine subscriptions to male type magazines from Tesco Clubcard - £11ish for one (Empire magazine) and £7 for the other (Viz) - not bad ehh? OH will probably still moan that they won't read them but I think it's a great present We ended up buying socks and boxer shorts last year as OH couldn't think what to buy so sweets and mags has got to be better than that hasn't it

Fantastic Rainmac! Sounds so much better than pants and socks!!! I didn't think of magazine subscriptions but then I don't think this lot would appreciate it at all and I know with OH side of the family the money would be much more useful.
