    I've hardly sorted out any Xmas pressies yet. So now I am thinking about doing some Hampers. I thought maybe do one with Pears stuff and shampoo, is there anything else anyone can think of that I can do by buying stuff cheap from asda?

    Morning all . I'm doing some nice haircare ones, might bob a deo in too. Hth x
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    I make a couple of hampers too but will be combining things I have through couponing too. Every month i get a few (ahem!) pack of loreal wipes free with their insider coupons so i put those in. I also have some samples/trials that are hamper worthy - especially the Montagne Jeunesse masks that I get sent for being on their panel.Obviously the Nivea glitch with the skincare products is perfect too.
    You should also add a nice 120g of ambrosia rice pudding :rotfl:

    Love it, maybe just make an ambrosia hamper with the different flavours :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    My dad loves it and laughs when I take it round to him each week so would probably see the funny side!!

    Lol, think you have a compulsion probelm, in the nicest possible way:D:D, I think I would be a bit like this but have a 35 mile trip to a's so that keeps me in check:rotfl:

    You are correct doctor Izzy. I am lucky. Between work & home there are at least 4 Asdas. Between home and mams another 2. And locally another 4. Imagine my temptation. Think it must be like an alcoholic passing a pub! I wonderif there in somthing like AA for this? Is there a help line I can ring?:D:D

    I'd forgotten about the deos, that would make a lovely hamper with the pears and haircare stuff :D

    Need to think of a good one for the kids as well.
