As you’ve been friends for many years, how about a compilation of photos? Either presented in a little album, or chose a couple and have them printed into a mug for her?

Trying to pre plan a hamper before I start buying for it, as I always find that they work out expensive compared to what they look. Has anyone received a hamper as a gift? Did you like it? X

Well so much for no more hospital visits - I managed to pass out at the weekend whack my head and end up back in A&e with a nasty concussion. I've slept through the last few days but finally starting to feel a little better as long as I don't stay upright for more than 15-20 mins at time.  Seriously hoping that's the last one now.   I will catch up over the next couple of days when I'm a bit more with it 

 popped in to say I someone mentioned the lego dots?  argos have some sets at 1/3 off at the moment

I love hampers of all different varieties, you can see that person has really thought about all your favourite things

Hope you are feeling better Mandco.I hope that's it with hospital for you now.x
I went to the Range yesterday.The Christmas section was massive.It makes me so happy to see Christmas decorations. I bought a bauble to replace one I smashed last year and one which is like a trinket box for my Mum.
I also managed to get gin from M&S which is light up and a snow globe for DD2.DD2 is now done for Christmas.The girls I will buy gifts for as they don't have a partner which means they will only have gifts from us to open on the day( although DD1 has a "friend").My son, I have bought a book and a rugby training top,his GF a trinket box and a candle.I will put them some money in a card.The Mothers so far only have a tub of chocolates and my Mum the decoration.Mr V has slippers and whiskey stones. He of the very selfish week before Christmas birthday!
My poor Nephews wedding!!!!!!!!!! we are not going now as his GF has quite a large family which should be there before us.The poor girl is at her wits end.
Beshski I have only ever had a hamper when I was ill in hospital from my work friend.It had socks,nail varnish,sweets and a puzzle book.It was so thoughtful it brought a tear to my eye. I have made a jam hamper for my Mum with different homemade jams and a massive chocolate hamper for DD2 when she was about 13.They both went down very well.

I was trying to add a pic of the chocolate hamper and added chocolate oranges by mistake and I can't get rid of it now! I am an IVT fool!

I love your reindeer chocolate oranges vulpix even if it wasnt what you were trying to post. They look really good.

Mandco hope you are doing better now after your trip to hospital. 

I've stalled a bit on christmas buying. Lacking inspiration so on Monday on my day off am going to have a good browse online and hopefully find some ideaa.
