    Eldest son has a pretty stressful job so was wondering about doing a "de-stress" hamper. Anyone got any ideas?

    I bought another present today it's a hello kitty mp3 player which came with hello kitty head phones && usb cord && hello kitty bag it was only a fiver too so I've put it away for my oh little cus who we look after alot! Nearer the time I will put some songs on it for her :) and also order my sister a beaded bracelet to go in her stocking :)

    Where did you get the mp3 from. My niece would love something like this.

    Does he have a bath? Radox do a stress relief bubble bath that is nice and not too girly in colour or scent.

    Have a look on eBay for stress balls and the like think you can get relaxing shower gels too. Juggling balls also eBay and a good stress reliever. Retro sweeties to make him smile:)

  • I did mini- Christmas cake last year and wrapped them in grease-proof paper, then clear cellophane (from eBay but you can but it in florists too) then tied at the top with ribbon. I'll see if I dig out a photo.

    Great idea and I already have cellophane
    A smile costs little but creates much :)

    when you say 'de-stress' i take it to mean relax also,

    i agree with the radox and the stress balls as mentioned.

    you could also add a bath pillow,
    dressing gown, pjs and slippers
    bottle of wine/beer
    if they live alone a takeaway menu with some money (no cooking is a stress relief, surely?!)
    one of them cds, ie whale music, sounds of nature etc (if he'd apprieciate it:))
    possibly vouchers for a massage, if he'd like it (all the men i know are !!!!!!, shave and shower men!)

    hope that helps a little
