After seeing new hampers on here it got me in the mood last night so I raided my wardrobe and made a few things up!

3 x hot chocolate mug sets - 2 christmas presents and 1 raffle prize for my grandads 80th

Mug - wilkinsons 29p
Hot chocolate - tescos 50p
Marshmallows - wilkinsons £1 for 3 big bags so about 11p
Whisk - wilkinsons 25p
Total (without cellophane) - £1.15

They look fab, i'm planning to do hot chocolate mugs for the teachers at Christmas, love the whisks being on the outside, have you just used the ribbon to attach them?

Well I've done my (winnie the pooh) garden hamper - struggling still with placing pictures correctly.... here's hoping!

Contents
Childhood sweets at the bottom - (cheaper than shred! - and link to birthday/culture)
Winnie the pooh heavy glass jar (it isn't a glass in case you are wondering, it originally had sand and a cactus in until my DD knocked it over!) which I've then put 12 garden journal ideas in and mostly tied with purple, silver etc ribbon - having pasted them on pretty papers first (as you do)
A printed garden in a year from the BBC website - putting in the plastic sleave (from my 5 gift bags for £1.29 from Instore)
Winnie the pooh cross stitch - she likes cross stitch
Winnie the pooh books - she's never read them and I talk about the characters all the time
Personalised journal (£1 book from Asda with picture and personalisation on the front. I've then added a couple of messages inside on how to use the journal in a jar....

so what do you think (other than OH is right and I should be in bed!)

when I was making them I thought they would be nice for teacher gifts actually! I plan to make a few more but I am holding out for some christmas mugs.

Yes the whisks are just tied on using the curling ribbon, I just thread it through and then wrapped it round once.

savingholmes - I love the hamper, what is the basket?

rusty - steal away, I am sure I have had some of your ideas from time to time! Already trying to think who I can make a chocolate hamper for!
