Homemade xmas hampers

[cuteable]

This year Im thinking ahead and thinking of making Christmas hampers for some family members. So Im thinking of good things to put in them and thought Id start a thread for anyone else doing hampers. I dont have a particular theme, so far Im thinking:

Homemade lavendar bags
Homemade shortbread
homemade lemon curd
Homemade Jam
Homemade chuckney
Nice writting paper & pen
Possibly homemade soap

Im still thinking of other ideas.

Mini fruit cakes

Theres a jar on nigella website with tinned peaches and a few other ingredients in a kilner jar.

I've already made:
Christmas chutney
Onion marmalade
Strawberry & Rhubarb Jam
Gooseberry Jam
Toffee Vodka
Orange Brandy Marmalade

Last year the extras I did on top of those were:
Christmas biscotti
Candied nuts
Shortcake
Snowman Soup
Ricciarelli
Chocolate slabs
Peanut butter fudge
Peppermint creams

This year I haven't quite decided. Definitely some kind of biscotti & the ricciarelli. Definitely some kind of fudge and the candied nuts (my kids loved them).

Oh wow you are all organised. can i ask what you put the toffee vodka in? found some vodka in the loft. also will it keep until xmas and beyond? i saw a recipe for xmas chuckled but didnt know how long it'll keep...

Ooh these sound lovely. Do you have recipes to share for them please?

I'm putting the toffee vodka in nice vinegar bottles - used the vinegar in the chutney.
I'm not sure if it was me you wanted recipes from EricNFB, but will put some here in case it helps.

Onion marmalade

The jams I just made up really but there's lots of recipes around. The toffee vodka - put some werthers into some vodka!
Orange brandy marmalade - I use Mamade as instructed on the tin and add a big splosh of brandy towards the end.
Christmas biscotti - I messed about a bit with the ingredients according to what I had, but this is absolutely delicious and really easy.
