Christmas Hampers 2013

I would have thought those scissors would be just little nail scissors ? Could be worth checking in a pound shop for a little manicure set, or sometimes they can be foundin first aid kits. Not sure about getting a comb that small though? Although i love the comb you've just posted.

In substitute of the comb in the pouch you could put in plasters or bits of loo paper in squares for his shaving cuts?

Mrsbartolozzi, those mugs and plates are really nice!

You are awesome with that idea!
And yeah that's why I was wondering if they were different, because I am not forking that amount of money out when I can get em in pound shop.:p

That comb in the pic I will defo get as its 5 pounds and it looks really cool!

If anyone could help I would be so grateful

Am looking for ideas of what to put in a cupcake making hamper for my 9 year old daughter - I am pretty sure I have seen ideas for this somewhere or ideas for a cooking hamper but cant find it.

So far can think of apron, cupcake cases, sprinkles etc etc but am trying ot make it exciting so don't want to put the basics in

thanks

how about an icing designs/techniques book, a piping bag or some disposable ones, some nozzles, little bottles of food colouring, cute measuring cups or spoons get some paper toppers of her favourite band or tv show, moulds for cutting icing shapes. If she's a Dr Who fan have a look at Lakeland they've got a cool new range out.

DODO, how about a nice mixing bowl, some nice silicone cookware like moulds, splatula spoon in her fave colour, an apron or oven glove if she hasnt already got them?

That sounds lovely,
I'd make sure there is options for loads of colours in there, and decorations.
If you type into eBay cupcake kit, there are tons of gift boxes to choose from. If they are too pricey for you, you can just browse them for ideas and then buy all the bits individually.
Something like this, only 1.65 free shipping, could be put in:

Maybe some coloured fondant for decoration? I think there are packs with smaller amounts but more colours in?
Fondant cutters, food colouring, icing, you could maybe make her some cake decorations at home and then package them up?

-Decorative cupcake/muffin cases. you can get these off the internet, sainsburys had some pretty one too.
-piping bags
-food colourings for the different icing colours
-cupcake display stand - I saw some pretty ones in TK Maxx for about £6

I make cupcakes for family and friends almost every other and i use the above items all the time.

What about some silicone moulds to decorate the cupcakes with? Ebay have masses of choice ( the cheapest are from China but you have plenty of time for delivery). Ooh -and some edible glitter (used sparingly)-every girl needs a bit of sparkle in her life (and her cupcakes):D
