Bodyshop do a hemp one. That went into my teens stocking last year. I can't remember the price though. Bodyshop can be pricey and it might eat into your budget. If you look on the newspaper discount thread, from time to time one of the papers (telegraph?) does a free £5 bodyshop voucher, as I've had one a couple of times, though none for a while. Worth keeping an eye out for.

last christmas i got my lads a pair of 'lucky pants' each from primark, they are green boxers with a shamrock on and lucky pants written on on leg. might have them again this christmas

lynx usually do shower gels and sprays with suitable sounding names. i got some little mini body sparys for crackers last year with something like pocket pulling power written on - im sure they were lynx

I've bought this for my DD's 'drama' hamper, to represent her acting in Beauty and the Beast. I only paid £1ish for mine though.

Everyone's hampers look to be coming on well, dodo for the cupcake one if you go on eBay and just type in cupcakes then price low to high there will be loads I get stuff from china and iv never waited more than 2 weeks.

Love the coke hamper my brother is obsessed too may have to pinch that idea!

I'm still stumped for my mil and fil don't know whether to do them something joint or separate as I normally do, my fil supports Chelsea and loves sweets so I'm thinking of doing something along those lines.

ds superheroes hamper is coming along got my amazon voucher and plenty of things in my wishlist so it won't be far off done. His watch came the other day and got him some cheap batman pjs which came today.
