    Not sure if you are intending on putting "Fresh foodbits" into your Tapas hamper at the last minute but if you are... how about
    "Spanish Serreno Ham" and Spanish Manchego cheese.
    My partner is not a fan of cheese but I treated him to some Manchego cheese last week as he loves it!
  • It seems you have to plan for christmas sooner every year.

    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

    Have you seen the Disney magazine with free items on it for baking. I got the first one 99p with Disney biscuit cutters and other bits for icing. These are going in my granddaughters hamper.

    Straws?
    Ice cube bags?
    Magnet for the fridge-I'm sure these can come in loads of colours.

  • Cola lollipops? Or if it's someone you will be seeing at there home, within about 30 minutes of your home, cola ice lollies that you can keep in the freezer until the last moment?

    Lemons to slice into the drinks?

    Barretts Cola Frosties sweets.

    Lots of cola sweets here:
