Christmas hamper help!

Options
So I'm starting to think about Christmas and get the presents for family sorted! :)
I want to do some personalised hamper gifts for them!
I am wanting to do a kind of 'pre-wedding' hamper for my brother and sis in law as they are getting married early March.. has anybody got any ideas of what I can actually put in there??

Thanks in advance to all ideas :D

    Items for any hen/stag parties they are having?
  • Wickford and Co do a wedding bells candle. You can get them in Home Bargains. The big ones (Yankee large size) are about £2.99 and the smaller ones are pennies. They are really good quality too and on a par with Yankee IMHO.
  • Not pre wedding, but I gave a cousin money for their wedding present as that was what they requested (I did ask). However I often think just money there isn't much thought in it. So as well as the money I made up a travel essentials bag for their honeymoon travels.

    I made a draw string bag and bought, luggage scales, plug adapters, small padlocks,a pack of cards, hand sanitizer and the like. The list is endless. It was well receive.

    I bought books "Don'ts for Wives" and "Don'ts for Husbands" - the tips are from 1913. I also bought them "Sex Tips For Husbands and Wives from 1894" - the bride and groom both had a good giggle.
    The books are about £3.50 from Amazon, but you may be able to find them or something similar in places like The Works,etc.

    Also there's a book called "Bucket List for Couples"...which they may like to plan adventures together

    I did one for my brother & sister-in-law to be a couple of years ago. I based it around champagne and a big year to celebrate. I put in glasses which they used for their toast, and champagne mixers, accessories.
    Been falling further in despite having an IQ, getting more urgent as I get older & the debt get bigger

  • I bought one of these framed prints a while back for a wedding anniversary. I think they're really good gifts for couples :)

    How about a money box in it which they can use to save for something together with.

    Or also little "i owe you's" which the couple can write to each other
