Scrooge Gift Basket Ideas.

sesw75

Hello,
As a joke I am making my husband a "Scrooge" gift basket for christmas. I have bought him a couple of bottles of beer apptly names "Bah Humbug" and thought about a jar of humbug sweets but I'm not sure what else to include. Its just a daft present that I know he will see the funny side of so Im not wanting to spend loads.
Do any of you have any suggestions please ?

Thank you in advance.

A lump of coal?

You can get Xmas hats saying 'bah humbag' from our local pound shop.

There's a few things on there, but maybe more than you were planning on spending. You could probably take the idea and get some personalised stuff like a mug or something.

Something to represent the ghost of christmas past (a picture of him as a kid at christmas, or a framed pic of you and him at a previous christmas)...christmas present and christmas future (a promise to do something for next christmas that he'd like)?

How about a lump of coal in a Christmas tin, or a scrooge type nightcap? You can get both really cheaply. You could also get Bah Humbug printed on a mug or tshirt or buy a cheap T-shirt and one of those iron on tshirt printing kits and make one if you want to be even more MSE.

I would get a box that looks like a wooden chest (perhaps make one out of cardboard?) and include a stack of gold and silver covered chocolate coins along with the items you already have. I would also put in a copy of A Christmas Carol and/or a DVD version - maybe Scrooged?

We bought our teenage son yesterday a T-Shirt from Matalan which has a picture of a turkey on it and a caption that reads 'Christmas Day..worst day of the year'. It was £6.

Nightcap
Muppet Christmas Carol DVD
Quill pen
Scarf & fingerless gloves
(small note saying "we love you anyway" optional, but in case of sense of humour failure)

If you have anything small to put in it why not make this but don't cover it so it looks like really tightwad wrapping http://www.pinterest.com/pin/230035493440755295/

Hello
Thank you for your ideas, they are great. Its just a daft gift for Hubby who gets nicknamed Scrooge, I know he will see the funny side of it.
