Mens Hamper?

Hey All,

Im on an extreme tight budget this year and am looking for something to buy my boyfriend of nearly 7 years! (were 26)

Hes asked everyone to chip in to buy him a new phone as his is slowly falling apart. His family has all agreed but said they wont be able to afford anything else.

My boyfriend LOVES christmas, so i really want to get him lots of things but obviously cant because i have no money!

I was thinking of a hamper, with everything wrapped individually so its more exciting. Thoughts?

Hes already said he doesnt want any xbox/wii games, music or dvds. (says he has too many and would like to complete the ones he has first) DAMN IT!

Im completely stuck for ideas.
:wave:

    Do you know what kind of phone they are buying him? If so then Poundland do screen protectors, touchscreen gloves. What about popcorn & bottle of beer/wine wrapped to say "movie night in supplies". Shower gel, socks (you could make it up in a pint glass, look for 'pint of socks' on here), body spray (mini ones even for work?), puzzles, books, sweets (a retro sweetie mini hamper, like the sweets he got as a child?). A jar with 365 reasons why you love him.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I filled a pint glass with fizzy cola bottles topped with milk bottles for my OH last year and covered the top with cling film. It was his favourite present! Seriously don't know how to top it this year :rotfl:
