  • Here is my final hamper for this year - a Chocolate & Coffee Addict hamper for my niece:

    And here are all four hampers shrink wrapped, just needing Xmassy trimmings and wrapping up (sorry the pic is a bit blurry). I found the shrink-wrap bags quite fiddly and the result isn't the tidiest you'll ever see, but I'm hoping the recipients will forgive me, I'm the least crafty person I know:-

  • Hi

    I'm looking for bigger hampoer boxes. I did get some from B and M but they are not big enough. I need them to be bigger but struggling to find any at a proper size. Any ideas for a decent price?????

    Thank you in advance.....

  • Mags - you can try www.candigifts.co.uk. They have a huge range and their individual product prices are quite good but their delivery charges are expensive. If they quote a ridiculous delivery price for your order (e.g £6.99) then email them to complain, chances are they will reduce it.

    Hiya,

    Thanks for this. Also saw some on Dunelm Mill website which looked big enough and reasonable price. I'll have a look now at this website too to see what they look like.

    Thanks again. xx

  • Ooo that Waitrose wooden hamper box looks lush!
  • Hi everyone!

    Love all your amazing hamper ideas..hope I can pick your brains for a hamper idea please!

    My friends son is Nutella mad so I'm buying him a personlised tub from selfridges £3.99 which isn't too bad! I was going to do a themed hamper but didn't want it full of choc (dont want to be responsible for a trip To the dentist!)

    Any ideas for a theme based around the Nutella?

    Thanks in advance :j

    The other day I saw a book shaped like Nutella full of Nutella recipes! It was in a shop called Oliver Bonas but you can probably find it online.
