Ideas for a "Weekend Away" hamper

nickinoodle_2

Hi all,

I wanted to do a "weekend away" hamper for my OH for valentines day, and I am going to book a hotel for us, print that off and put it into a envelope in the hamper, and I wanted some other bits for it, so far thought of

- minature bottle of champagne
- Chocoalates
- Massage oil

now im bit stuck for inspiration, anyone got any ideas of what I coudl put in it? Or also what I could use as the hamper?

you could make him a little book of promises

Lakeland do hibiscus flowers in syrup, they open up when you put them in champagne, they really look special.

How about guidebook to the local area?
some "reasons why i love you"?

nickinoodle, I could think of a lot of things to go with that massage oil

Or: Depends on where you're going, but theatre tickets maybe?

Ah that is a lovely idea!

What about nice bubble bath/oil.

Have you thought about what you are doing for dinner - maybe a voucher for room service or a meal out?

Enjoy it!

scented candles/some new undies/romantic CD - all things that you can take with you and then use at home as well.

You should also pack a digital/disposable camera so that you can capture your memories!
Depending on the type of weekend you could make him a little cheque book of promises which could be cashed anytime. Get a book of poetry and read to him on the way to your hotel. Record all of your favourite music onto a CD/MP3 player and make sure you take it with you so you can play it whilst you enjoy your weekend - he can then have it in his car and it's a constant reminder!
You could leave messages/clues all over the hotel room on heart shaped post
it notes.
I would do a breakfast in bed and give him clues one by one as to where/when etc
Hope this helps!

Have fun anyway - I am sure you will.

last year me and my boyfriend were saving for a holiday to the icehotel - and for valentines money was tight - he brought me a jar of hot choc and a small mug and it has been the most memorable valentines present ever.

other than that theres some cosmetics
a nice red nailvarnish is always nice

Don't know if you have sorted it out yet or not but as for what to use as the hamper how about a vanity case

ring the hotel & ask what they can do to help with the surprise - I ordered a half bottle of champagne for my fiance's 40th birthday breakfast at our hotel in the Lakes.
