Golden Hamper Ideas please!

Not Christmas but I ahve a friend who will be 50 this montha nd I want to put together a 'Golden' themed hamper for her. I know I could go down the Gold Blend, golden syrup route but want to make it a bit more luxurious. So far I have got some ferraro rocher chocolates (a bit kitsch but will look good!) and some gold bath pearls but have come to a standstill - any other ideas????

some gold jewellery? or gold coloured jewellery? gold hand mirror? gold lipstick case? you could like the hamper with gold tinsel - even though I know you said it's not a christmas gift, would still look nice. You could get gold blend and make up a mug set with a gold coloured mug (sure I saw some in wilko), maybe a gold coloured spoon, if you can find them, they all tend to be silver coloured don't they?
That's all I can think of at the mo!

Next have some nice wine glasses with subtle gold swirls on them - they're a bit expensive at £17.99 for 4 but other places might have similar for a bit less money.

For making it look Christmassy - gold foil wrapped chocolate coins?

Goldeneye on DVD?? :rotfl:

or if you're a bit arty, you could by cheaper plain glass and decorate with gold glass paint? You could also get gold coloured candles, or just tea-lights in small glass (which you can also decorate yourself)

does it have to be gold,you could wrap other things in gold paper.

there is bound to be some gold candles about for xmas or maybe tealight holders

LUSH do a bath bomb with gold shimmery stuff in it (I think it might be called golden slumbers but I could be making that up!)

you might be able to find a gold organza type of scarf/wrap for dressy occasions

if you are looking for gold spoons you can often get gold-coloured plastic spoons and could dip them in melted chocolate to make those chocolate stirrers

Thanks people - some lovely ideas. I am off to my local fabric wwarehouse this afternoon for some organaza and will hit Wilko and the pound shop at the weekend!!!

How about a bottle of wine with some gold ribbon around it, you can also get useful things like gold coloured face cloth, or bubble bath (Christmas theme) - what a lovely idea, I'm sure your friend will love the thought you have put into it.:T
