Family Hamper Ideas

[Rockhopper81]

Looking for any suggestions from the great minds of Mumsnet please!

I have family members (my sibling and a cousin, who is essentially like another sibling, it that makes sense) to buy for that are causing me to overthink.

Basically, one family is 2 adults and 3 children (20, 16, 10), and the other is 1 adult and 2 children (19, 12). I would normally buy for children and a token gift for adults (it's what we normally do as a wider family), but obviously each family has an adult child now (still living in family home), and I don't feel I can buy for the children of each family and just get them a token gift (there's the overthinking and guilt coming into play).

So, I thought I'd give a family gift of a 'Family Hamper' to each family, but the only things I've thought of so far are:

-Board game of some sort
-Deck of cards (and book of card games?)
-Sweets/treats

Does anyone have any other ideas of what to include?? Both families have streaming services for films, so DVDs not needed, was trying to think of 'fun' things to include...

Maybe sundae glasses and toppings? Mugs and hot chocolate?

I'm open to any and all suggestions here!

Would they actually play a board game/cards?
I'd do a bottle of wine/pre-mixed cocktails
Nice hot chocolate
Nice popcorn
Brownies
Selection of cheeses.. and crackers
Candy floss maker/ chocolate fountain type thing

Budget? I agree with the above poster, would 2 families with essentially all teens- really need more stuff? Boards games, deck of cards, sundae glasses and mugs???
Edible things would be better and not adding more tat IMO.
A voucher for a day out that the whole family could use- voucher for meal out together or an experience. Something like dans le noir, a theatrical meal out etc. Local zoo voucher for them all, yo sushi cooking course, cinema tickets?

If doing an edible hamper, unless its given long before Christmas, I'd try to avoid specifically Christmassy things- only that everyone seems to have a glut of those foods well into Jan! Wine or bubbles, hibiscus flowers in syrup for the bubbles, fancy gin, beef jerky, chocolate biscuits, bacon jam, popcorn with various flavouring options to sprinkle/add on top, crisps in unusual flavours, jelly belly beans, miracle berry which changes sour flavours to sweet, guess the flavour chocs https://www.lachocolatmademoiselle.co.uk/product-page/guess-the-flavour

Thanks for the replies.

The issue really is the inclusion of two children - the 10 year old in particular is very much still 10 - as well as young adults.

Alcohol is out, as only one of the adults actually drinks it. A theatre show wouldn't appeal to the older children. I did a day out last year, and they're annual pass holders for the cinema.

We tend to play games together as a larger family when we get together. I don't really want to give a 10/12 year old in particular just food for Christmas, they're still children.

Thanks for the ideas though, I like the brownies/popcorn ideas (I've did marshmallows with the burner a couple of years ago, that went down well).

I shall think on!

What's your budget?

Some other ideas given your update. You could always make a more adult/teen hamper, but include something different for the 10yr old:

Sorry for the late reply - past couple of days ran away with me.

Thanks for the links to the games, will investigate them further for definite.

Budget wise - I guess £50-£60-ish?
