had a moment of clarity on the bus!! Thinking about movie themes when you go to the cinema next buy a large popcorn and ask for 2 extra cartons to split it betwwen you! Keep them flatpacked and use them as the hamper obviously unused!! lol

Salduck, what a great idea!!!!

salduck

lol i am quite good at the ideas if it doesnt involve anything i actually need!! lol
I think i have the solution to my postal hampers- Au Naturelle (b&m) have some lovely cake tin type tins so think i will be doing those!!

salduck

they are coming to me thick and fast today!! Bought some smart price Asda waiters friends for the men (uncles etc) to add to the family hampers- had a sort out tonight of all my "stuff"!! so grandma is sorted, aunti and uncle 1 with no kids are done, oz sister/bro in law, 2yo nephew and bump nearly done, 2x family hampers to post to aunties uncles etc need to buy board game and sweets to bulk it out! 3x lil bros one in oz traveling not anywhere near ddone!! not sure if might do something simpler for the one traveling and other one is in afghan so cant send a lot of stuff!! he alwaya asks for socks!!
so not even october and i am nearly done!!
mummy can wait as she is away in oz til after xmas so getting hers in the sales!!

Finally finished my hamper for my Mil to give to her brother and SIL as a 60th birthday present. Good old Asda had all the bits I needed. Working on a £20 budget (roughly) it contains:
Bottle of Champagne
2 Champagne Flutes
2 boxes of Lindt chocolates ( 1 large & 1 small)
Chocolate scented candle
and I made up 2 flannel cupcakes with a strawberry bath pearl on top.





I hope they will like it now though :D:D

Thanks Salduck . I think we all buy the strawberry ones on Ebay they are dirt cheap under £2. The flannels are from Asda and only 45p and they are lovely and fluffy. Got some really nice colours there too

Cupcake holders from ebay as shelley says ... as for cheap flannels I like the Asda ones, but normally use ones from Wilkos they are 25p each


Fab hamper Shelley looks really expensive. What was the rough cost on it? did you manage to stick to budget?

Mrs Bluebear whats the hot chocolate mug idea? Ive just discovered this thread I love it but its taking me a long time to work my way back, ive been inspired to attempt a couple of pampering hampers but one isnt into all that and would appreciate a chocolate based one instead x
