I am LOVING this thread, even though I've only read the first and last pages so far - will read the rest later on.








how about a nice smelly candle? Rescue Remedy or those cold gel pads to help with stress headaches (from Boots / chemists)

Thanks Deely didn't think of those will have to add to my list. Hopefully she finds it a wee bit of fun

Have copied below from the Grabbit thread - thanks to Joanygq for the original post (Grabbit board, B&M bargains thread)

"Noticed my shop local to work (Westwoods) had loads of American sweets in. FAR cheaper than Spar/ Mace etc

Big bags of twizzlers 340G for £1.99

Double size babe ruth bars for £0.89
Peanut butter M&Ms and other flavours for £0.69
Seen these in other shops for well over £2 each

Could be handy if someone is doing an American style Christmas/ movie hamper"

Hope it helps someone.

Loving all the ideas made my first lotnof hampers last year for christmas and they were very well recieved.

this year im thinking of making my nan and gramp a hamper, I was thinking as they are into wildlife, I would do a hamper themed around this like a wildlife watching theme; I was thinking of getting a wildlife, maybe birds themed book, birdhouse, something to eat for them (thinking peanuts etc as my granddad has diabetes) and stuck on what else, has anyone got any ideas?

Also thinking of doing cosy night in hamper; hot choc set, chocs, wine, fluffy socks, photo frame, slippers, (dont want to do dvds as cone this last year)

Anyone got any other ideas? Thanks

If anyone is doing a food / breakie hamper in Iceland they have the 8 pack of mini cereal the Kellogg's ones for £1 there normally around £2.20 great as you split them between hampers xx

Wildlife hamper -
binoculars
calendar with wildlife pictures
fat balls (the type for garden birds - it sounds rude but that's what they're called round here!)
identification book and pen
maybe one of those tall tower things that you hang a birdbath, feeders, etc from?
Insect houses,
dogfood (to feed the hedgehogs)
details of any local bat walks or bird identification walks (our council rangers do a few of these, all free of charge).

Hello everyone - the weekend's nearly here!

My brother bought a new car earlier this year and it's his pride and joy, so using inspiration from this thread I'm putting together a driver's hamper. Making the most of the last couple of weeks of my Amazon Prime free trial I've just placed an order for:-

Fluffy dice
Demister pad
Ice scraper
Smartphone gloves
Mobile phone holder
Notebook & pen holder
Driving Anthems CD
Mini torch/key ring
Interior dashboard wipes

All for around £25 delivered!

I will also get:
wet wipes
tissues
tin of sweeties/mints
Top Gear magazine

Thanks for all the wonderful ideas - keep them coming! :T

Ordered some cellophane for my hampers now, so will look at putting them together properly in the next couple of weeks. I think I am happy with them, though if I do see anything little bits that are appropriate, I will likely end up getting them to throw in.
