    I love this one, my son would love it so much, he reckons his name is mcqueen (he's 3)... hope you don't mind but I might copy it as an extra thing for him!! Although he already has too much but I swear out of everything I have for him this would be his favourite hands down!:D

    I am struggling now.
    I have made the NUFC hamper for OH from the kiddies, however I am going to book his CBT (motorbike) for him which is just under £100. I have just booked for him to try sphering (where they are in a big ball and rolled down a hill) http://www.buyagift.co.uk/Product/Id/3063/Name/Harness_Sphereing_for_One_Special_Offer (found a discount code for it ;) ) But I want him to have something to open aswell. He has his stocking which I have gadgety type bits for so do I just go for the stocking as his pressies to open and add a few other little bits to it? or shall I do another hamper for him from me? If I do a hamper I have no idea what to put in it!!! I really do want him to have something to open though!

    Rusty - does he know about the motobike thing? If not you can do him a little hamper with bike related bits in - bike related choccies a small toy bike, some elastoplasts (for when he falls off~hopefully wont need these :) ) and make a voucher up for his CBT - so it looks like his CBT is a real present IYKWIM - you have spent a lot of money on it I would faff it up into a gift. x

    He doesn't know ... well at least I don't think he does lol ... I planned to book the date for him etc when I paid then was going to print off a voucher and buy a little toy motorbike so that I could say here is one you can practise on! love the elastoplast idea! that is great.

    Today I have been to boots and ordered the Jamie Oliver Kilner jars x 2 for him and picked up some beers which were free as on 3 for 2 so I will do a largeish hamper for him with the CBT certificate, the sphering experience and then will probably get little bits and bobs for him but individually wrap them or something :)
    Thanks

    I just wanted to say a big thankyou to the boots girls who are on this thread (passion/Angie and a couple of others sorry can't remember names!) I have been to a bigger boots and picked up the £15 worth of soap and glory then got my freebie gift set. I actually spent £16 but got a free £5 voucher with that and then purchased the other bits for OH in a seperate transaction and got another one so I ended up going back around the store and picked up a couple of ruby and millie bits and again paid seperately so I could use the vouchers lol 2 items at £1 each so a big massive thankyou I will put together a hamper later on and hopefully it will look more expensive than it was as I plan to use the miniatures for someone else ;)

  • I really do want him to have something to open though!

    I think it sounds like you have spent a lot of money already so maybe go for something funny/something to do.
    What about making up a silly treasure hunt for him with clues leading to the next clue, maybe with some sweets etc along the way. And you could finish the whole thing with a booklet of vouchers for him to redeem later, hidden under the pillow or something, entitling him to a massage or something at a later date. Or make a pass the parcel that gives him challenges/riddles before he can open the next layer? Or maybe something sweet like getting a jigsaw made up of the kids? Hmm.. will keep working on it...
