Pantomine hamper ideas please ?

I have bought tickets for my family to go to a local panto just after christmas and am looking for a original way to present these. It is pirate themed and ticket office were giving paper pirate hats which I plan to put in box upright and fill with the ticket, flyer for the show and favourite sweets of each person receiving.
I am really stuck on what else I could include.
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks

    Eye patch? Puppet? Pirate themed pop up book? Depends how old everyone is :)
  • Maybe something like a little pirate boat.. Im sure you could find one of these at a pound shop maybe.

    Possibly a little parrot teddy? Maybe a dvd of peter pan?

    You could possibly try and fill the box with blue sweets so it looks like the sea if you get a boat e.g. bounty, milky bar etc

    Hope this helps :)

    For some reason theatres with pantos always seem to sell expensive light up toys, so maybe some glowsticks?

    How about some big bags of sweets or something to take with you when you see it as I know they are usually really expensive. Possibly pirate themed if you can find some?
