Christmas sweet hampers

bargainfinder1992

Is anyone making a sweet hamper as a christmas present? I'm looking to make one for mam dad and brother as a small present based on the sweets they like... does anyone have any tips on where to buy the sweets cheap and the boxes?
Also, post pics id love to see some finished hampers!

I would check supermarkets for sweets, you can buy a 100grams of bananas and shrimps for 30p where as if you buy 'retro' shrimps or bananas online it's a lot more. Quite a few people have done them in fishing or tool boxes from pound shops and they looked great

thanks!
I've bought some bars of chocolate from the poundshop because the same packs at supermarkets were £1.79.
I noticed some lovely boxes in card factory, has anyone used these before?
