Its my Mam's birthday tomorrow and she had a little tea party earlier so I decided to give her pressies today. She loved the Candy bouquet so I was really pleased but I did start to panic earlier because I didn't thing I had enough for her. So I had a look in my hamper box and managed to put the followings things together in a hamper for her and it only took 30 mins !

I was really pleased with the way it turned out because I had not planned it all x

Will you make mine for me please Shelly? :rotfl: It takes me hours lol, but that's a really pretty hamper and I love the pink cellophane and extras I'd be pleased too, if I was you and I bet your Mum's face was a picture when she saw the candy bouquet

Thanks Passion8 yes Mam was thrilled with the both and thought it was lovely idea. I also bought her a candle holder which you can put photos in from Partylite and some smellies but I couldn't fit them in hamper so I wrapped them in cello seperately. I forgot to take piccies of her face xx

Hi Folks

After a lot of lurking...............and even more reeading I have decided that hampers are definately the way forward! One question though..............where do you buy your cellophene from? Hoping I will be able to find a fool proof web site to show me how to do it! lol

shelley, love the hamper, I like the pink cello and the little pink suitcase. It looks lovely. Are those little suitcases expensive to buy? - I'm thinking ahead for next year.

Bargain of the century that little suitcase was - I popped into Qs yesterday and there was 20% off so I only paid £1.60!!! They had a few different styles there too x

Hi Brookeslay

Welcome to the forum. And congratulations to the mummy to be.

Why don't you spoil yourself, as it is meant to be a pamper mum to be kit... some lovely massage oil, Sanctuary products, not sure if these are still 3 for 2 at Boots, some makeup for that glowing face of a mum to be... check out the Boots sticky on Grabbit.

Some IOU from OH that he will give you a foot massage or a back rub.... these will all be appreciated!

How about body butters from the Body Shop?

That was a bargain, shelley when you say Qs do you mean these people http://www.qsgroup.co.uk/our-collections/default.aspx there's actually one of those near me (believe it or not LOL) but I think they only do clothes, I've never seen anything else in it.

Fantastic hampers everyone

Shelley love the little case, unfortunately we don't have one of them near us! Closest one is in Edinburgh and thats a good couple of hours away!

I've done very little hamper wise this weekend. Was working late on saturday night and we haven't really been anywhere. I did try to get some supercook items from sainsburys but they had none cheap so think it will be a full price jobby.

I'm waiting for OH's terramundi to arrive this week then I will repack his hamper and wrap it ...

Passion, yes that was the first suggestion from everyone yet I still forgot! I am going to get some socks for him this week I can't believe I managed to forget! lol

Think I also have everything for OH's stocking so will try and get in the loft to pack that up aswell. Have been starting to think of little stocking fillers and managed to find some funky stylus for my sons stocking.
