Hamper Themes

[73kittycat73]

Hi, starting to feel Christmassy so am working on buying a few pezzies. Every year I do my mum a themed hamper. I've done eggs, (Yup, eggs! ) cherries, and cinema that I can recall. This year I am doing a small mushroom themed one but can't think of any other themes! I was thinking vanilla but apart from body sprays/perfume and air fresheners I can't really think of anything thing else. Besides, I don't want her to think she smells!
So, do you do hampers? If so, can you please chuck a few ideas my way?! Thank you.

What about some vanilla flavoured food?

Cinema....vouchers for a cinema chain, popcorn, sweets...or similar for home cinema with a DVD in....

Maybe not very seasonal but if you know someone takes summer holidays, holiday themed....beach bag, towel, sarong, lip balm, headband....

Spa....nail manicure stuff, candles, face mask etc....

Hot chocolate....mug, chocolate sachet, marshamallows, whisk.....

Oops, you've done cinema...

Hi, thanks for your replies. I have been looking on Ebay, have decided on one theme: Butterflies.
The hot chocolate one is a good idea too, she likes that.

I did a prosecco one last year with prosecco flavoured sweets, prosecco scented candle, prosecco and strawberry lip balm, prosecco bath bomb and a mug which said 'There's too much tea in my prosecco!'
I did a chocolate one with chocolate body butter, chocolate liqueur, hot chocolate powder, chocolate biscuits, a bar of soap which looked like a chocolate bar, luxury chocolate spread etc..,.
Vanilla one would be quite easy. The Body Shop do a whole range of vanilla body butters, shower gels, lip balms etc... You could also find a vanilla scented candle quite easily, Sainsbury's do a vanilla infused coffee, and several nail varnish brands have a nail varnish colour called Vanilla. Lindt does a white vanilla chocolate bar and pukka does vanilla tea bags!

Ooh, vanilla Teabags sounds good Ricekrispie22. As does the white vanilla chocolate bar. Thanks for the suggestions.

does she bake? Vanilla essence is easy to make but needs time to infuse. Vanilla sugar is lovely too.

What will you do in a butterfly hamper? my hamper themes are so boring
