Hamper ideas

[Mamafy]

So this year I'm doing a big hamper for my mum and 2 little ones for my older girls

But I need more ideas

I did one for my mum the other year and picked a colour theme of blue and just bought her loads of little blue things, from chocolate in a blue wrapper to blue napkins lol

 

[Mamafy]

Awww very cute

I'm think of doing all her favourite teas, biscuits, face cream etc and maybe some pyjamas/slippers

Ooh those little travel toiletries from superdrug are great fillers too

for the girls, amazing slippers and purses or bags (river island for all of above!) make up, music, small ipod shuffle if ur spending that much?? top ups for their phones? fave sweets, perfume ,

basically all their girly bits!

sounds like u have ur ma sorted, but maybe a nice voucher for her hair or a massage or summit in the arse of the hamper? xxx

 

[Mamafy]

Oh maybe a throw for Mums bed

Lisa the girls ones I'm not sure I should put all their unwrapped stuff in it and do big ones for them too? They could give me the baskets afterwards

Oh snuggy blanket, fluffy socks, share bags of crisps

When we were kids my mum used to do big hamper things for us but she used to wrap stuff we already had to bulk it out!! Lol!! The memories!!

How about getting the girls involved in making stuff for your mums?

so christmas cookies and cards, maybe getting a notebook and getting them to decorate the front - or a diary for 2012

im going to do this i think and shove in a fish pedicure for my mum if she likes it (were having a go this wknd!!)

I do a hamper for my sister every year - I just pick stuff up through the year and bulk it with face masks, sweets etc. I always get a 'big' thing as well... last year it was a choc fondue set!

Last year I done it for family though as well, it was great! I maybe spent a little more than usual but I had spread it though the year! Personalised things are great - I got a few personalised calenders from vistaprint and put them in - they are pretty cheap!

They are good for birthdays as well - I done one for my OH's 21st! I got him 21 presents

Good idea all round though xxx
