getting ready for christmas hamper

carlamarie_2

ive had this idea for my mum and stepdad for christmas this year. im thinking of making a 'get ready for christmas' hamper hopefully with something to open up every day of december.
i would like this to be as homemade and/or cheap as possible.
so far i have had the following ideas, but still need lots more if anyone would care to help.

• tea advent calender
• xmas themed oven gloves
• xmas themed aprons
• decoration each for the tree
• wooden plaugue painted with the words 'the SURNAMES's believe' and a silohoutte (sp?) of santa in his sleigh for the front door
• pjs and slippers (obviously bought) for xmas eve
• im hoping to learn to knit, so scarfs, mittens and hats hopefully
• xmas songs cd
• xmas dvd possibly 'its a wonderful life'

and there i draw a blank :rotfl:i had loads of ideas for this a couple of weeks ago, but theyve just disappeared from my mind!

they are very jokey people so can get some jokey/novelty things in there!

any help or thoughts towards this would be very much apprieciated....

Home made edibles spring to mind such as:
small jars of fancy marmelades- with whisky, with liquer, whatever..
Homemade savory biscuits & mini cheese portions
Small bottles (250ml) of limoncello, toffee vodka, choc orange vodka, choc peppermint vodka......
Biscuit decorations- the ones with a boiled sweet melted in the centre

Homemade Christmas joke book, quiz book, fact book

Homemade decorations- crotchet stars & snowflakes.

i think if you look through some of the Christmas threads on here you might find many more ideas
