Here are my first three finished Christmas present hampers:



This basket is for my step-brother's girlfriend. The basket was £2 in Instore and contains a tub of Boots Natural Collection strawberry body cream (£1 in Poundland), slipper socks (£1 in Poundland), body puff (about 40p in Home Bargains), foot scrub (about 40p in Home Bargains), Dove shower gel (free from the good old Tesco H&B days), lip glosses (£3, was a Grabbit Now deal) and a chocolate orange (£1.96 BOGOF in Tesco). Total about £9.



This one is bedtime stuff for my grandmother. The basket I already had, contents include Avon stuff (about £9 but on offer so worth more), M&S puzzle book (75p in glitch deal), crosswords book (£1 The Works), slippers (£3 Primark), body puff (about 40p in Home Bargains), scented Jeff Banks drawer rose (£1 in Poundland), Carex handwash and Dove moisturiser (free from good old Tesco H&B voucher days). Total cost about £15.





This afternoon tea hamper is for my grandparents-in-law. The basket is Tesco Value and was £3 for 2 a while back, and contents include Rosanna porcelain cream and sugar set £2ish in Home Bargains), set of tea towels (£3 Primark), tin of Liquorice Allsorts (£5 in Iceland), Stollen cake (£3 Sainsbury's), 3 boxes of Whittards tea (£4 in a Whittards outlet store), 5 mini preserves (£1 in Morrisons), mini box of chocolates (79p in Home Bargains). Total cost about £20.

Not the most bargainous hampers ever, but they contain stuff my relatives love and will definitely appreciate and use so I don't mind.

Just one left to finish now, BIL's cookery hamper, but I'll leave that as I keep picking up bits and pieces that are on offer during our weekly shop.

Thanks for all the help, I couldn't have done it without the info posted on here.

They are great, know I would never use them and no-one else I know likes Jack Daniels! I've put a JD luggage tag in my Dad's holiday hamper though!
