Would a Rat Pack hamper work?

My sister loves the show Rat Pack and I have been really lucky to pick her up a boxed DVD of the stage show and a boxed CD. As there is a theme in the 2 gifts I have so far I am toying with they idea of doing a hamper style gift for Christmas (that would be a first for me) but I can't think of what else to add? :confused:

Any ideas?

    Hows about a cocktail book, pehaps some mini bottles of booze and mixers so she can have her own cocktail party - complete with entertainment! She could always petend she was in Vegas. Don't forget the olives! HTH

    How about a DVD of the original Oceans 11? (million times better than the remake)

    If you want to stick with the theme then look at little bits of memorabilia. Type "Rat Pack" or "Frank Sinatra" "Dean Martin" etc into ebay and see what comes up.

    You've got the two main bits so just add in a badge, one of those handmade coasters (or make your own) and a photo for framing. That sort of thing anyway, HTH.

    He He ^^^^^^

    Because I am a forward planner. :o

    It's an old habit I am afraid, I have always picked up bits throughout the year for Christmas. In true MSE fashion it saves me a few bob. :cool:
