I am putting a luxury hamper together for my son and his girlfriend

ChangedmynameagainforChristmas · 09/12/2022 17:55

Just for context they live together and are in their thirties.
So far I have put in:-

A bottle of pink champagne
Two boxes of luxury chocolates
A luxury jar of honey
Chocolate covered cashews
A really nice candle
I'm getting some bath bombs too

Please can anyone suggest something else as I am a bit stumped ?

Thanks

Something fun and personal

Oh and chilli jam from Sainsburys

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/12/2022 20:27

Stokes chilli jam and chutney (Waitrose) are really nice

And if you're going to Waitrose you could get florentines too

If they like Nutella you can buy personalised labels on ebay. I've ordered one for a jar I've bought my son as a little stocking filler.

Cheese, olives, pickles, Reed diffuser?
Could you get bubble bath instead of bath bombs?
What about face masks/moisturisers (for him and her)/nail files etc if making it a bit of a pampering hamper?

Nice posh wine glasses

Nice cheeses and posh cheese biscuits or cheese straws
Chutney
A jar of salted caramel sauce
Any of the sauces they like - e.g. Nando's or farm-shop ones, not own-brand ketchup
Posh crisps
Cherries in kirsch
Posh jam or marmalade

"Hot chocolate" - yay! I'm putting a quid in my "how many times is hot chocolate posited as a treat on Mumsnet" jar!

I've only been doing it since the beginning of November and I have enough saved for a deposit on a small flat in Beaconsfield (I don't know where that is)

Nothing says ‘Mother’s Love’ like a sex hamper.

What if they open it in front of granny?

The horror!

Winter2019 · 09/12/2022 21:07

Warm (matching) socks for both
Scratchcard
Some savoury stuff (whatever they like)

Hamper sounds amazing!

What is a sexy candle? Shaped like a bare woman? I wouldn't buy my child anything that could be deemed 'sexy' anyway.

countdowntonap · 09/12/2022 21:19

always more booze. A decent Marlborough Sauvignon- perhaps a bottle of Cloudy Bay. A lovely new design tea towel.

Shaped like a cock.

The wax runs down and gathers in the ballsack. The wick comes out of the little hole at the end. They’re really popular in Somerset.

Makings of negronis
Crispy chilli oil
Dried mushrooms

OMG I've never heard of these before 😂I don't have a son but can't imagine sending something like this if I did.

Something like this -The Bay Tree Sticky Figgy Chutney

RitaSueandBobtwo · 09/12/2022 21:32

Posh crackers, a couple of nice cheeses, nice nuts, nice bottle of red, Mr Vicky’s sweet chilli jam, a couple of bags of posh crisps.

GlamGiraffe · 09/12/2022 21:32

Look at the sous chef website.has loads of fab stuff that's unusual and from all around the world.

PollyPurpose · 09/12/2022 21:37

I got a le creuset salt pig with salt in last Xmas. Honestly my favourite gift! I am in early 30s
oh it was from tk maxx and under £15

Mulhollandmagoo · 09/12/2022 21:39

Really good quality hot chocolate! And some marshmallow company marshmallows! I'd swap the bath bombs out for some nice bubble bath maybe? Bath bombs will smell really strong with food.

I would bloody love this as a gift by the way, it's a brill idea.

caringcarer · 09/12/2022 21:46

Selection of cheeses, if they like cheese and posh crackers.

Not from your DM/MIL - grim. I would steer clear of bath bombs too OP!
