christmas hampers 2015

Home and Bargain had hamper making sets for 79p. Included cellophane, shredded paper,(red or brown) gift tag and tissue paper. Useful if you are always short of time like me.
I always do food hampers for elderly family members. I use old cardboard boxes wrapped in Xmas paper. Pad it out with cardboard. Fill with practical food items, I try to get things that are red to make it festive and of course on offer. So far have bought M&S Christmas Cake bars 2 for £5, M&S Cherry liqueurs 3 boxes for £6. Typhoo tbags from Home Bargains. I will also put in a tin of soup, salmon, jar of strawberry jam, biscuits and a bottle of wine.
Copied from the M&S hamper range years ago but half the price.

Thanks for that they have some lovely ones and some great childrens ones coming soon.

I've actually found a couple of lovely Christmas mugs in COOP for £1 each.

They are great and really worth the money

need a little bit of help...

I want to create DSD a craft hamper with loads of bits and pieces and really liked the colourful towers. I've seen some somewhere for about ten pounds but googling I can't find any less than £30... any ideas?

For those doing hampers....I went I to B&M yesterday and managed to get the Duerr's single malt whisky preserves gift set, which contains marmalade and raspberry jam. These usually cost £12.25 but only cost £2.99.

When I made the coffee mixes, I put them in some cello bags, I got mine off Amazon = £1.20 for 30

for the snowman soups - I use cello cone bags

A tip with the snowman soup, if you put the hot chocolate into a cone bag, seal that up, put inside the 2nd cone - then put the toppings on that, it saves a lot of mess the other end...

Thank you, one last question on the subject. Does it need to be powdered coffee or will normal granules do?

I use nomal granules, cheapest I've found is 100g jar of Red Mountain (£1 shops), or of your near Farmfoods - they had a nescafe tin (150 or 200g) £1.

Hot choc - just use own brand ones xx
