Wow they sound amazing!!!

I've done a lot of hampers this year but not themed ones just various odds and ends. We had a budget of £5 per person _pale_ so I got lots of little things instead of one big thing.

I bought things all year round as well. It's so much cheaper and I was quite pleased with the little collections i've put together as they look much more expensive. (Although my wrapping skills leave something to be desired!)

i've been so inspired by people on this site and have had a go at making some hampers myself.

Socks hamper - for my Grandad, i've got 3 pairs of socks, a best grandad tankard and a coaster. i've got a gift bag that has a yellow warning sign saying 'may contain socks' which i will put everything in. cost £5

Football hamper - for my brother, i've got a england flag, 3 month subscription to 442 (£1 offer found on here), football, footie socks, chocolate footballs, haribo football pack, energy drink, notebook (decorating to make football themed and personalised) and the mixed pack of swizzels euro sweets. cost £10

gardening hamper - for my grandad, i've got bamboo sticks, plant clips, welly plant pot, gloves, kneepads, twist ties, coaster, best grandad mug, liquorice sticks, liquorice allsorts and novelty frog shaped plant ties. cost £10

puzzle book hamper - for my mum, i've got 3 different puzzles books, mechanical pencils and rubbers. i also got a ringbinder amd have filled with puzzles that are available for free on the internet. cost £10

harry potter hamper - for my dad, i've got the 3 charity books that he doesn't know exist and bean boozled jelly beans. cost £10

we do main presents on xmas day and then bonus presents when family come on boxing day so i've made my dad a sweetie hamper for boxing day with normal jelly beans, boston baked beans, choc coins, sherbet dips, dandelion and burdock chocolate and a cd he wanted. cost £10

the other hampers i have made aren't so themed but i'm making little sleighs to put the presents in. hope this inspires someone as much as everyone on here has inspired me.
