This is my first hamper (ever!) for my Sisters boyfriend who's 17. Budget was £5, and i decided to go with the movie night in!



All shopping was done in Bristol:

Bowl - What! - £1
DVD - Poundland weston - £1
Popcorn - Asda - 98p
Haribo - 2 for £1 Asda so effectively 50p
Coke Sharesize bottle - 2 for £1 Asda so effectively 50p
Candy canes - Rajani's - 95p for twelve so about 25p for the 3 included!

Total cost - £4.23 !!!

Under budget :rotfl:

mummatoone i would suggest that you could use cellophane but instead of buncing it, wrap it over the top and secure underneath flat, kind of like what you have done with the clingdfilm, that way you can see the things better. it is a nice hamper well done!!

meant to say. The larger primark stores - definitely Liverpool are starting a range of bathing stuff, so smellies, glove exfoliators, empty travel bottles etc which are all under about £2 which might look great for all of your hampers!

Hi, Jane130:D - hope you don't mind but where did you buy your little whisks, I am doing hot choc mug hampers for son's girlfriends and mother in law and have looked everywhere possible and can't find any - I need to get out more because I am even dreaming about all these hampers and what to put in them and Oh I wish somebody would do one for me.

Well done to everyone with the hampers they are lovely and will be really appreciated I am sure:D

You can get mini whisks in poundstretchers, wilkinsons and instore. They aren't very expensive to buy!!

I don't know about Jane, but I bought my mini whisks from Wilkinsons. They're 49p for two (slightly different sizes) and are in the kitchen section.

Hi all just wanted to say that last year I made hot chocolate mugs for my nieces and nephews and i put a flake in with them so that they could sprinkle it over the top of the hot chocolate I also bought some small marshmallows (£1 from the £1 shop) this made around 4 little bags worth. It made the mug look really full with the hot choc, 2 x flakes, whisk and marshmallows in them all in all it didnt cost much but they really liked them. They probably worked out at £2.oo

Hi thanks for your replies regarding the whisks, I am just going to pick DS3 up from school now and will have a ride into town and search. Good idea with the flake, wont have to buy them until near xmas though,as being a very organised person(not) I bought chocolates for other presents and in moment or two of desperation I have eaten them all:eek: and I wonder why I have no clothes to wear,
