Having just dismissed idea of a hamper for ILs in another thread I started I've just started wondering whether it might work. Thing is, they don't like what I think of as nice food. Neither really cook and they have a lot of Iceland ready meals (because they like them, not for financial reasons).
They don't drink and wouldn't know what to do with things like posh ham or smoked salmon. Their veg is all from tins. They probably will ignore beat before dates so best to be non perishable.
We could probably spend £50.
Here are my ideas for what could go in it - but would really appreciate your ideas. Maybe we could make this work:
Candied orange and lemon slices
A nice jam (don't think they'd like miniatures - arthritic fingers)
Peanuts
Prawn crackers (they like Chinese style ready meals)
After eights and similar types of chocolate
Some tinned fruit - christmassy stuff
A small Christmas cake - FIL really likes Christmas cake
