I sellotaped my hampers at the sides because the box was so big. Gunna go take the cello off now and will just wrap it in normal xmas paper in a square shape.

Hi guys,

Took myself to town on Thursday and managed to get mums loads of Cancer Reseach bits for the hamper! (not as cheap as i thought though), think it may nearly be finished. I am going to give it to her for Christmas, when would you recommend me wrapping it? Also any ideas for a label, maybe a poem or something, i dont know to be honest!!

Also decided to one for the boyfriend, any ideas for cheapy bits for a 23 year old?

Thanks

Princess

I have just converted my best friend to making hampers

She was worried about the cost of this Christmas but I don't think she's so worried now,I sent her the link of your finished hampers photos and now she's hooked :T :cool:

For anyone looking to make up a decent sized box for kids, Asda had these instore for £6. They had pink and a Cars theme one

I expect you will get them other places but I dont know the cost.

Adsa were also selling the Options single hot chocolate down to 20p each.

there are some poems on here for mothers (but I don't know if any are suitable for Christmas)

you could wrap it as soon as you think it's finished and you don't think you'll be putting anymore in it. You could make a list for yourself of what you've put in just in case you do find anything else that you can't resist

I bought a present for my mum (for Christmas) and we were going to see her the other day - just going out the door when DH rushes out with the present "don't forget this" - thought we were giving it to her then. Thankfully I was able to hide it away - which I should have done the first time

Don't worry I always sellotape mine:D my wrapping is not the neatest (which is why I don't put photos of my wrapped hampers on here:rotfl: ) but everyone appreciates the hampers 1) because they are different and 2) because thought has been put into them.
