I finally managed to get some piccys of some of my hampers. I used the lovely hat boxes from Argos (thanks mumofone). I'm not to happy with the way i've wrapped them though so I think i'll have to do it again.

This one is mostly freebies and Boots clearance stuff, although there is a Protect & Perfect serum thingy in there so the total must be around £20!



And these are a couple of the wrapped ones!

They look fab!:T The wrapping looks great to me!:beer: Glad i could help with the boxes

This thread is utterly amazing; I've sat here for the last 2 hours reading from page 1 and I am *so* inspired!!

for the poster with the breastfeeding mother friend / relative. It sounds from your posts like she is more of a practical person, so I would go for everyday things that you know she will use - food items and toiletries.

Sometimes people are not drawn to treat ideas, they just welcome something that is useful.

My mother is very like that; if I tried to give her something luxury she just wouldn't get it. But I once gave her a parking permit for a nearby forest where she likes to walk and she was over the moon - go figure!

I would just spy in her bathroom and kitchen cupboards and see what she regularly uses and go from there.

If you Do want to do the treaty thing, then a novel for reading while she is feeding might be nice

good luck!
and thanks to everyone on here for your fabulous ideas; I'm feeling all creative!
