Breakfast Hamper Ideas

Hi there,
I'm thinking about doing some breakfast hampers for xmas but got stuck with the ideas. I was thinking of the usual: jams, marmalade, nice teabags/coffee. What else could i put in?
Many thanks
:)

  • Slightly less conventional, how about buttermilk pancake mix and maple or pancake syrup, homemade granola or muesli, egg cup and soldier cutter. Sorry a bit random but something might be useful:rotfl:

    Egg cups or a toast rack.
    One of those little saucer type thing to put used tea bags on, old fashioned tongs for taking tea bag out of cup.
    Ermmm breakfast/cereal bar.
    If you put egg cups in you could knit a little cozy to keep egg warm maybe.
    New cereal bowl and a small box of nice cereal.
    Honey spoon & pot.

    If I think of anymore I'll pop back :)

    Hope this helps xx

    That's a lovely idea for a present.

    You could try making baskets from different countries if you're stuck for variety. American websites have some interesting ideas for breakfast.

    Make up gift jars of cooking ingredients if you there is an issue with sell by dates of actual items e.g. brioche loaf, breakfast muffins.

    Oatmeal sachets, oat biscuits

    cloth napkin

    book of breakfast recipes, breakfast round the world or the novel Breakfast at Tiffany's

    That's a good idea.
    I did my sister one a few years ago and put a samll tin of red salmon in there.
    Get a budget and stick to it :)

    i made a few breakfast hampers last year, they went down well
    i managed to get a few of the M&S hampers on a glitch (on the grabbit board) so they came in very handy, as did an order on the Whittards glitch

    teas, coffees, biscuits, i also used the tea for one pots & saucers, they came with a tea bag holder and a nice spoon
    i also did one for a tea mad teen, friend of daughters and got the hello kitty toaster for £6 from argos:T and things liek the eye teabags from whittards and bath tea etc

    the mini pots of jam, marmalade & honey are usually on offer in Morrisons
    i put all on a tray and cellophaned them

    i also did a herbal tea one with a nice glass, and funky infuser as well as all the usual bits n pieces
