Your hampers are all great - I'm pretty new to this but I'm quite pleased so far as all of the contents of my baskets have been free or massively discounted, I'm another refugee from the boots thread I'm afraid, so cosmetics for everyone this christmas. I did make a hamper as a charity raffle prize this weekend but forgot to take a picture, I think you can probably guess that it was full of reduced goodies from Boots in a £1 basket from poundland, I think it cost about £5 in all but the contents were worth around £25. Anyway if you don't mind I'm after a couple of ideas - I bought DH some sodoku books from the M&S glitch and was wondering if anyone had any idea what I can put them in and what I can bundle with them.

TIA, hope I'm not being tooooo cheeky :cheesy:

mary, everytime I read one of your posts I feel shattered lol, you have so much to do!

Have been working out my savings so far- mums hamper cost me £28.06, rrp of £88.18 so a saving of £60.12 and my sister and her fiancees hamper cost me £9.86 with an rrp of £25.90 so a £16.04 saving

£76.16 saved so far with just two hampers! How smug am I feeling right now

definitely a nice pen - chocs? a stopwatch or eggtimer? What is his eyesight like - does he need a magnifying glass (you can get those cc sized ones with a little light) or could he use a booklight or torch?

someone earlier in the thread used beer buckets for guy's hampers - good idea. I've used a wastpaper basket before now.

Thanks Hon, I was trying to email them to you but that wouldnt work either!! It was taking an age to upload them to the email and I have even reduced their size. Ill have a fiddle with them tomorrow at work, as i think its my PC its crap!:mad:
Thanks for the kind offer though, I might still send em through when I can get onto a proper PC!
