Christmas hamper.

[Nanto2girls]

This year we have decided to do a hamper for Mam and Dad.
They had quite a few hampers bought last year, but they contained a lot of things they don't eat.
So, we have decided to put our own hamper together.
It's mainly everday kind of items,that we know they will use.,so far we have got

Box of biscuits
Teabags
Mince pies
Pringles
Liquorice allsorts
Jelly babies
Dolly mixtures (they do like their sweeties)
2 small Christmas puddings
Cashew nuts (Dads favourite)
Large bar of Cadburys chocolate.
i will be making them a Christmas cake.

Nanto, what a lovely idea. I’ve often looked at ready-made hampers and realised the possible recipient wouldn’t eat some of it. This way the can have all their favourites. 👍😀

Brilliant idea , some hampers look amazing but very little in that most people would eat ,
Im sure they will appreciate yours more

Great idea Nan2

My DDs have done this for my mum a few times. Like you buying things she will actually eat and enjoy, instead of the ready made hampers (which are very expensive!!)

Last Christmas I did a hamper for each of my eldest grandchildren. They absolutely loved it. As well as lots of edible goodies, I also packed it with their favourite toiletries. I snuck a cheque in too, so they could get a treat in the January sales. They had both gone away to Uni and College in the autumn, so were having their first experience of full on budgeting. All these special treats went down a storm.

Fabulous idea Sunshine

Sunshine - what a lovely idea. I bet they are both hoping for the same this year!

They are getting a mini version of the same this year, but a big fat cheque. They are going on a Caribbean Cruise over Christmas, so the money will be to spend on excursions from the ship. I want them to ‘make memories.’
