Hi.

I've had this idea for a Christmas present for my younger crother and needs some more ideas please!!

I was thinking a 1980s inspired sweety hamper type-thing!!

I've found some dib-dabs and liquirice dipper things in Home Bargains.

Ideas so far:
Bottles of dandelion & burdock, shandy bass! etc
black jacks
cola cubes
Space invaders crisps

Things that remind us of our childhood.

Any ideas will be greatly received!

I did a sweetie hamper for a male friends 30th. I filled a small tool box (more of a screw storage box) with Mojo's, black jacks, wham bars, fruit salads, swizzle lollies. poppets etc. The box had a clear top, so DH printed a pic of tools and put it in the top so at a glance it looked to be full of tools.
He got a lovely surprize when he opened it.
It went down very well.
I got the box from Home bargains.

That's impressive Midnightraven - I thought it was a nail/screw (tool) box...but it isn't..?

Remember 'Spangles'..?
