Christmas eve hamper - for an adult!

Hello

I want to make a Christmas eve hamper for my partner, a 22 year old male! I have had a look at all the threads on xmas eve hampers and they all look very good... but I don't think reindeer dust and a key for Father Christmas will be suitable lol.

So what could I put in xmas eve hamper for him? So far I've thought of some pyjamas, a DVD (home alone) to watch, as well as a 2 hot choc mugs (one for him and me of course) and a box of maltesers.

Thankyou

    i think it would be fun to put something like a small toy in as well - a cheapie remote control car or helicopter.
