My Auntie and Uncle have very kindly invited me and my DP (amongst other family members) over on xmas day for dinner and/or a games night. We tend to go round a few times a year for games night which are always brilliant.

I would like to do them a "Games night" hamper for xmas. Board games and quizzes rather than video games. The hamper needs to be aimed at my Aunt, Uncle and 2 female cousins, (17 and 21).

They have more board games than a WHSmith warehouse I think so don't need to buy anymore but I can't think of other things to put into it.

If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it

Thanks x

Ooh I love games nights!
There should always be nibbles and drinks at a games night so maybe include some treats and alcohol/soft drinks depending on what they all drink? A lot of board games need pencils and paper, which if they play a lot they may have run out of so getting each of them a pencil (that's individual to them - there are some cool ones out there!) and a couple of notepads?
I'll keep thinking

I have got family personalised note pads from Artscow before (look in their special offers section), totally personalised with photos even if you like for an amazing price. Based in Hong Kong but postage is super quick. Ive bought tings for gifts and my little craft business (I used to have) and have never been disappointed with the quality

How abut a personalised board game, this looks good?

They also do monopoly key rings and mugs like this.

This thread is brilliant

My mum has decided that this year to cut costs we are doing a kind of family secret santa and i have my dad, so gonna aim for a hamper for him this thread has given me lots of ideas

For the Games hamper how about a small trophy to compete for or plastic winner's medals, you can get these reasonably cheaply on Amazon or you can get chocolate ones.

You can also get Monopoly for most towns, if they don't already have the one for their local area it might be a nice edition to their collection.
