Hamper Help!

I'd like to make a Christmas hamper for my parents but I've not done it before!


I have 2 large/tall lanterns for their garden (This sort of shape http://www.therange.co.uk/antique-bronze-oval-lantern/candles-and-holders/the-range/fcp-product/113062) which I want to use to put things in, I was thinking of some solar lights for the garden but then im stuck. I gave gardening things last year so don't really want to do the same.... Any ideas?!

    Why do a hamper at all then? Wrap those up as gifts - and add other gifts to those as you spot stuff you think'd be great, without tying yourself into some arbitrary "hamper" mindset of a "theme".
