If anyone is making "hampers" for posting far far away Home Bargains have really cute tins maybe 9cm long by an inch and a half deep in Christmas decos for only 39p! I have family in oz and they are all getting one of these filled with home goodies that they cant get over there! Such delights as refreshers, nougat and strawberry licorice! Should make it ok price wise to post!

Check out this company. They do beautiful hampers of local produce (especially Herefordshire and Wales). Really great quality and service.

We're making hampers this year, full of food and treats! So far, there's (all homemade) truffles, bounty balls, cranberry shortbread biscuits, chilli jam, wine (not homemade!), ginger beer, and a few little presents to go with

Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked already- can anyone tell me where they got wicker baskets/trays for their homemade hampers as I can't find any cheap ones!

I'm making hampers for my family this year to save money. I found a lot of my ideas on the 'Salter UK' 'Foody Christmas Gift Ideas' Pinterest board.

This Saturday I'm straining my Cranberry and Orange vodka, and have already put together loads of hot chocolate pots with marshmallows and Baileys!

I'll also be doing the little cookie jars but they take a bit more maths and preparation. If you want to make little gifts for lots of people but not spend forever doing it I'd really recommend the hot chocolate pots. So easy and simple to do and with some nice ribbon and bits they make a really nice gift.
