Christmas Hampers 2013

For the poster making the moustache hamper - Wilkinsons had a cushion in this week, and even some wallpaper! In the kids section, they also had a card of fake moustaches for £1. I think there were five or six on the card, and they were with other stocking fillers.

HI all, first time on this thread but have dipped in and out over the months. I've been toying with the idea of making hampers and as luck would have it, came across a bargain in my local Sainsburys this evening from which to create a couple of hampers. They were selling their China "Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake" cups for 75p each (instead of £2.50) so I got a couple and also some sachets of hot chocolate (4 for £1.00) ... will keep adding to this over the next few weeks and make a sort of cosy evening hamper for a couple of friends. Maybe some slipper socks, marshmallows for the hot chocolate and some choccies. Need to get some of that cellophane wrap stuff to make it look pretty.

They also had some Keep Calm and Drink Tea mugs for the same price.

You can also buy individual tea bags from the Twinings website - I used these for a tea lovers advent calendar last year for my sister and daughter - bought 24 different types and put one in each day. Could be useful for the hamper if they'd like to try a wide range of the teas without having to have a box of each.

Thanks - I'll take a look!

Im doing a cinema theme for my sis and her boyf, including a cinema gift card because they can never afford to go out. Will include popcorn, sweets, some drinks, but am really stuck for what else? Any ideas?

How about some books on classic films? Or something by Mark Kermode (he's written a few)?

To add to the fab cinema style hamper, how about memberships to local, independent cinemas? Just throwing a few ideas around!

I have ideas for hampers, just now need to find the things to fill them! Thinking of a dinosaur themed one for my 6 yo godson, a disney themed one for my 4 yo goddaughter (loved the belle items earlier on in the thread!), a pamper hamper (for my boyfriend's sister) and a sci-fi hamper for my best friend. Can't wait to start looking round the shops to fill these up!

Hi, new to this this year!!

What is everyone using as their actual hamper? I've been on the look out for wicker hampers, but can't seem to find any?

Thanks :beer:
