New York city Hamper

Hello

I want to make a New York hamper for my boyfriend for Christmas. We went last year and fell in love with the city so I'd like to do a nice hamper. Does anybody have any ideas of what could go in it and how I could go about it?

Thankyou

    Did you take any nice photos of any of the sights while you were there?

    you could get one blown up or put onto a little canvas .. or even have a collage made if you took a few nice ones.

    If not, you can get some lovely New York city canvas scenes from places like The Range.

    Or how about a little New York Taxi? :D
    Or an "I love NY" T-shirt! :D
  • Bagels and order from somewhere like cyber andy or amazon lots of treats from the American section :) I used to have a nice NY poster above my bed

  • IKEA used to do poster size stickers to cover wardrobe doors, may still do - too big for the hamper but great for a NY lover (as long as their house isn't too posH)

    Love the idea, can see me copying it!
