Hi, As part of my mother in laws Christmas we are filling a huge picnic hamper for her with tins etc. She lives alone and has a part time cleaning job which is from 4pm - 7pm. She tends to eat her main meal at lunchtime because of this (I generally batch cook so make sure she has one portion meals in the freezer to use)…

I've put treats for the beloved doggie, as well as a new winter coat (for the dog not MIL), 2 new bowls and a fleecy dog blanket too.

That's lovely. I can imagine her enjoying pampering her dog with all that. :T It's a gift that keeps giving.

The hamper is sounding amazing.
