Homemade hampers / Gifts - What are you doing for yours?

[zippee]

Last year, I did mince pies, christmas cake, home made truffles and something else I can't remember...

Not sure what to do this year, we're decorating canvas shopper bags, but not sure what to put in..

Anyone with any inspiration can help?

Thanks

I have made christmas cakes, christmas puddings, homemade mincemeat. we are going to do some cookies and also some choclates.

I am not doing hamper type things this year, but instead I have made a lovely booklet of recipes to use with a bucket of christmas shaped cutters. Its an A4 booklet bound with a comb binder with a nice plastic cover. I got the cutters last year after christmas in the sale. I will be giving them to friends with children to use in the run up to Christmas. It includes both edible and non-edible recipes.

am putting a mixture of homemade and bought goodies in a hamper.
gorgeous soft ameretti biscuits and other italian delights from local deli, smoked produce from local smokery, and a pack of cards.

in another hamper doing a gorgeous homey things for my sister - not alot of food.

They all sound so good.

bythepowerofgreyskull what sort of things are you doing for your homey hamper?

Themadhouse, do you make truffles for your chocolates or do you have a recipe for something else?

plus some other bits from john lewis, gorgeous new teatowels oh and a couple of bits from Lakeland.

Thank you bythepowerofgreyskull, will have a look through them links x

I am doing Personalised Hampers this year as one of the presents for my dad, my gran, my great uncle and my step mum.

For my dad. He loves films, so I am doing him a Movie Hamper containing: 2 DVDs, a Clapper Board, popcorn,movies book, munchies and tic tacs (when he used to take me to the cinema when I was younger, we always had munchies and tic tacs lol)

For my Step Mum. Boozy Hamper containing Mini Baileys, Mini Wine, A Cocktail Star, baileys chocs and some other booze related gift that I aint thought of yet)

For my Gran: Bath Hamper containing a bath pillow, bath confetti, bubbles, a candle, white chocs, loofah and mini wine.

My Great Uncle (total book worm!) I am getting him a book, bookmark, reading light, crossword book, mini wine and boozy chocs.

Thats how it's planned so far. I have the hamper boxes, so just need to finalize and put it all together.
