Trying to cut back this year so am doing joint gifts for adult children and their other halves. It's so hard filling them on a budget!

So far for each hamper I have:-
£25 just eat voucher
Small alcohol miniature each
Joe & Seph's Popcorn
Tobacco wallets for the boys
Daughter cushions for the girls

I want the hampers to be decently filled (haven't bought the actual hampers yet either!)
Any good ideas? I wanted to get my girls some cashmere socks to add but they are too expensive. Just wanted a little touch of luxury for them they deserve it.
Thanks in advance 🎄

Fancy hot chocolate
Box of chocolates
Night in kit? Posh dried pasta and a posh sauce or similar?
Bath bomb or similar
Magazine or book

Coffee beans/pods/posh instant coffee, or fancy tea bags.

Molton Brown hand cream/soap, or an equivalent.

Retro bag of sweets, such as pineapple cubes. You can get loads of different ones, packaged nicely, in my local garden centre so I would suggest a visit to your local one as they all seem to do "posh" edibles.

Bone china cup & saucer, or mug.

"Real" Turkish delight (I mean not the Fry's bars!).

A Lush bath bomb.

Maybe do a theme? We do cinema ones with cinema vouchers and popcorn etc. or a hot chocolate one with mugs, marshmallows etc.
or a posh coffee one, or a boozy one with glasses, miniatures, mixers and botanicals.

@msssm
Dunnes Stores ( a big Irish clothing and supermarket group like the Irish equivalent of M&S ) do lovely cashmere scarves, hats , snoods and gloves quite reasonably priced and of good quality in gorgeous colours.
Google Carolyn Donnelly The Edit cashmere Dunnes Stores.
Sorry I can't do links, perhaps another Mumsnetter could do a link for you.
They deliver to the UK and have lots of shops in Northern Ireland, Spain and obviously Ireland.,

If they drink, cocktail ingredients go down well with mine

I bought these cashmere socks from Amazon and they are very soft and actually feel much more expensive than their £15/16 price tag.

People like Christmassy candles. Etsy has endless options, lots with free P&P. How about a special Christmas tree decoration? Something to keep, too (ditto Etsy for this)

Search the charity shops for a hamper. Buy a throw to line it with fleece throws can be very reasonable. I couple of plain coloured hand towels rolled up.

Not sure I’d be super impressed with a “daughter” cushion tbh, would much rather have a regular size bottle of booze (to my taste) or nice chocs but if you know they would be well received then go ahead. I’d add some more food items

Thanks for the Dunnes info @LadyEloise1. The cashmere stuff is lovely and so cheap. I got them lovely gloves, and while I was there I got a few bits for other pressies to take me up to free delivery.
So many good ideas here I knew you all would help! I'll work my way through them thank you 🙏🏻
