Making one for a friend. What five things would you like in a (mainly food) hamper for christmas? Am asking for five because I want to narrow down to the nicest ones so don't want too many from each person, just what you'd really like to have. Cheers

Truffles (not the chocolate kind)

Really good clotted cream fudge- preferably homemade.
Champagne
Lovely cheese
Lovely chutney
Beautiful oat cakes.

I could live off that hamper quite happily!

I have reasonably good taste in food (apart from blue cheese Envy) but the one thing I would really like is a huge cup of those penny sweets that DS gets from his GP's and godparents.
Nobody ever buys me one and I long for a big cup all to myself. I drop loads of hints but all to no avail

Thunder toffee vodka
Champagne truffles
Marzipan
Prosecco
Maple brazils

Ooh I'm adding marzipan fruits, I love them so much but they are ridiculously expensive so I never get them.
