Wasn't too hard:

B+M/Bargain Madness - Blanket £2, Beanbags £2, Slippersocks 2 for £2
Home Bargains - Mugs 50p each, Chocs 75p each, Candles 4pack 69p
Asda - 4 double packs of hot choc for £1

I do have the luxury of working in town, means i wander round the bargain shops regularly so pick up bits and bobs as i go along (though i think everything i've mentioned is still available)

WOW! I was waiting with bated-breath for this post on completed hampers! Hasn't everyone done so well. :j

Mine aren't quite 'put together' yet as I keep just buying bits here and there, and there's a mountain of stuff piled in my bedroom ready to go in hampers.

I think everyone's getting a hamper this year off me... I'm just obsessed with them now. I even asked my brother to make me a hamper!. He works for a well known high-street store so gets a lot of cheap beauty products, so I've asked him to do me an assortment of shampoos/hair stuff because it's something that I will always be grateful to receive.

I'm going to start putting my hampers together this weekend, so I'll post some pics when I do!

Well done, everyone! :T :T :T
