What to put in a hamper for my DH

[QueenofClean]

I would really like to make a hamper filled with goodies for DH but have no idea what to put in it.

Ideas would be fab thanks

[out2lunch]

food items - bars of posh choc cheese nuts crisps chutney jam marmalade wine

socks smellies puzzles little books diary pen cufflinks

can you tell I love doing these :)

[QueenofClean]

chutney & marmalade is a good start. Any idea of posh versions?

thanks I had no idea where to start.

[peggyundercrackers]

some nice shortbread, oatcakes & cheese. can understand the cufflinks but socks?

[FriskyHenderson]

www.tracklements.co.uk/relishes/onion-marmalade Anything from here.

Chocolates.

Kitchen gadgets.

Posh biscuits.

Local beers.

[PigletJohn]

does he like manly, dark, bitter, chunky marmalade with peel?

[PigletJohn]

www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Frank-Coopers-Oxford-Vintage-Marmalade-/39852011?sku=39852011&dnr=y

or, sometimes available in a stoneware jar,
Keiller's Dundee marmalade

if he likes a savoury (very very thin) spread on buttered toast
not considered suitable for women and children

surpisingly, some of the best speciality chutneys are at aldi.

A stoneware jar of stilton might go down well

[Wherediparkmybroom]

Bacon jam, real boy food in a flash jar!

[QueenofClean]

Piglet he likes strong chutney.

Didn't think about Aldi's speciality ones.

Thanks for the links so far everyone.

Oooh Queenofclean that's a lovely idea...that I'm going to steal

Depending on budget: anything Hotel Chocolat for budget blowout (I recommend the salted caramel stuff!) or for budget bargain those £1.80ish box of seashell copy Guylain chocs from Lidl - they look more expensive than they are and are very moreish!

What everyone else said above (cheers!) plus maybe a joke/novelty item for shits and giggles

[PigletJohn]

Lindt chocolate if he likes is

Ritter bars if you can find them (German brand, also sold in Aldi)

Special mug possibly with PG tips.

[PigletJohn]

if that didn't work, it's Tesco's stock no. 270312569

[QueenofClean]

Thanks bean

My DH eats any chocolate.

[out2lunch]

what's wrong with socks :)

[QueenofClean]

Where do I get bacon jam from?

[Chottie]

A key ring with a mini LED torch attached

A special mug

Waitrose have a range of speciality local beers with a tankard (3 for 2 at the moment)

[DharmaBumpkin]

Small bottles of whisky... Normally £2-3, means you can get a couple of posh brands to try :)

[QueenofClean]

All fab ideas so far

[dashoflime]

Specialty condiments? Hot Sauce is good if he likes that sort of thing
Bilthong

[MortifiedAdams]

A couple of magazines
A bottle of real ale
A dvd
Socks

[QueenofClean]

A pair of smartphone gloves - to use with his iPhone.
Ironman 3 on 3D blu ray
Bacon Salt
Tabasco chocolate

My DD's will get socks and pj's etc so I won't put that in there.

I'll add Christmas ale & a bottle of Jacques Cider as he likes that. Any other ideas...he's a techy man!

[ChestyCoffin]

Posh popcorn? Joe and sephs do some lovely sounding ones

[QueenofClean]

Sounds good - will go with iron man.

Any other suggestions would be fab...any ideas for posh crackers as will get him some jarlsberg nearer the time as his fab cheese, will also get him some Brie.

I'll look in Aldi for speciality cranberry sauce - goes lovely with Brie.

He's not a book person and doesn't write much.

Any good nifty puzzles/mazes would be good, if anyone knows of any?
