I now have 4 hampers on the go and nearly finished thanks to all the info posted on here:
I have most of the above, but the thing I'm stuck most on is the preserves - has anyone seen any nice, not-too-expensive ones either on the high street or online please?
Not sure if it's any help but Morrisons have those tiny jars - I think 4 for £1; selection of flavours, plus honey, orange curd or marmalade. They also have a couple of relishes & I think they are about 29p each.
****oops, sorry Rusty, just read your post***0 -
Oooooh thanks for that! Was heading there tomorrow to stock up on half price Ben & Jerry's!0

finally I have caught up with all the fab baskets/hampers on here:rotfl:
ikkle - great basket and stocking
kle87 - love the movie night hamper and the idea of using a popcorn box. the pink suitcase is fab and the hamper looks great.
rusty - love the snowman soup. it looks fab, loads of marshmallows and choc chips!
seebee - great hampers. love the look of the sweetie tin, hope you don't mind I have pinched the idea for my mum and dad as they always have fox's mints when they travel and I thought the jar looked pretty!
savingholmes love the basket and yule logs. what did you put under the ribbon?
soblivion love the idea of an ice cream hamper.
rainmac your sweetie tins and hamper are so good they deserve another mention!

It's closing soon so they can build a better, bigger store, but in the meantime they close at 6pm. Ah well, might venture to the larger store while DS is at pre-school tomorrow afternoon. Property buying/selling timeline - currently into week 21

Ohhhh deeee-er! Another thread to add to my 'research' 
BUT...here goes my brain again...
Do you think the snowman soup would work with a sachet of cappacino, chocolate sprinkles & a cinnamon stick as an adult version?
Also I saw someone mention WHITE CHOC..not seen this so a map required if available
..cuz one of my lot doesn't 'do' drinking choc but likes white choc, so think I might put temptation their way :rolleyes:
Again..brain ticking over, but these would make excellent fillers for those peeps:-
going on winter sport type holidays after crimbo
moving house this season
getting married this season
pamper hampers
winter b'day party bags
get well soon
Yay! Proving Snowmen are not just for crimbo
Still catching up with todays posts, so sorry if someone else has already mention this...Options have brought out a white choc and raspberry drinking choc (so my friend tells me-bought in Tesco, although I haven't found it yet). Droooool....lol! Also, DH doesn't really like hot chocolate but he does like the Whittards white 'christmas' chocolate which has a praline flavour. He will have to wait until they go down after christmas, though!Cross Stitch Cafe Monthly Challenge Member #27
