    my best friend is getting married in 3 weeks time and ive just decided i would love to do a hamper for her (after reading some of this thread!). I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what to put in as im stuck! I found a personalised scroll on ebay which i will put the lyrics to her first dance on (its tied with a rose), and a personalised candle but beyond that I'm stuck. I can't get out easily (in disabled) so I need to buy things online.

    Any idea's would really be appreciated

    Thank you:j


    My cousin is getting wed in Nov and I recently decided to do her a hamper after seeing one on here.

    So far I have got bride and groom ducks from e bay. and a pack of 50 things you should have done before you got married cards from home and bargain.

    Am going to put a bottle of champers in it and I'm thinking of getting some Mr and Mrs face cloths from e bay.

    Hope you get lots of replies so I can use the ideas too :rotfl:

    There have been a few good ones posted on Special Occassions and Celebrations lately which you would probably find if you entered 'wedding' in the Search button.
    I remember one basket had a bottle of cava and two glasses

    You could also put in a nice picture frame

    Hi Everyone

    I have been a lurker on here for a few weeks and have decided to make my first post :D

    I am absolutely loving all the pictures and ideas everyone has come up with they are fab.

    I have decided to make everyone hampers for xmas this year as the funds are tight due to being off on maternity leave this year.

    Anyhow my main concern at the moment is it is my friends wedding in 5 weeks time. I cant quite decide on wether to do her a pamper hamper for before her wedding or a hamper for her wedding as I will be giving her money as well either way.

    Any ideas suggestions would be extremely helpful as I am a hamper virgin

    :D

    Any suggestions or help for christmas baskets gratefully recieved, especially for nieces ( 11 and 13) nephews ( 3,5,6 and 16).

    many many thanks

    My sons are 5 and 3. They love drawing/colouring, activity/colouring books, stickers. Thinking along that idea:

    Pencil case
    Coloured pencils/felt pens
    Rubber/sharpener/ruler
    Notebooks/colouring books
    Post it notes
    Highlighter pen (5 year old has a real thing for these, as does all his friends!)
    Activity books - could probably quite easily get one with their favourite characters on.

    They're not quite as into more 'crafty' stuff, but then i don't tend to get it out too often as just don;t seem to have the time.

    They're doing a 'goodie bag' for each other for christmas (will be a box if i can find one suitable - want to try and get over to Matalan for the chalkboard ones), in it will be Dr Who figure, Dr Who mini figures, Dr Who talking keyring and a Sonic screwdriver torch! They're obsessed with Dr Who lol. Anyhow total of these bits was just over £10 as bought in various sales/offers throught the year.

    HTH in some way
