Mrs Hinch hamper ideas please!

[Flamingnorahs]

Hi. I'm thinking about putting together a Mrs Hinch inspired hamper for part of Mums Christmas. (yes I know, but it is something she would like!) The thing is, while my mum is a big fan of hers I barely know anything, having not read any of the books, not following her on SM and the fact that I'm a bit of a mucky old slattern ! The apple did indeed fall far from that tidy tree.
SO, I'd really appreciate some help from those of you who are more in the know than I. What would you expect/like to see in such a hamper?? Ideas most welcome! Thanks.

Fabulosa disinfectant spray has recently appeared in our Aldi. The Rhubarb one, and Lemon Mint ones smell lovely.

OP, I know nothing about Mrs Hinch at all apart from what I've just read.

Just wanted to say that I popped to Asda today and they have dusting gloves made from microfibre. Sounds hideous I know!

I got some though as even though I don't like cleaning I like the idea of literally dusting with my hands. Were £4 I think

I really like useful Christmas presents so I think it’s a great idea. In fact I think might make some hampers up for my relatives.

Now I have a really false hope in mind someone will make me a personalised hamper for Christmas!
Mine would be gardening and houseplant care stuff, and nice loose leaf tea and some wine. In a really useful smart looking basket to store clutter in later.

@Sennetti it's a Scottish expression I believe

@brandorapaithwaite yes, I always use containers for my hampers that can be reused, made from tin, cloth, wood etc. I did a gardening one before and put all the items in big watering can. I'm going to look at getting a personalised caddy as suggested above.

I would love that watering can hamper OP!

What other ones have you done? I am now looking to steal inspiration from you...

If you have Instagram it might be worth searching hashtags such as hinchhampers hinchhaul and cleaninghampers. There will be lots of ideas on there as a lot of people do like these hampers. There are some of people doing them for others and other ones where they have received them and are happy.

I also love the hamper idea and am going to copy it...

Lots of people are in for quite a shock surprise this Christmas, it would seem.

My DP would probably most like a smoking and vaping hamper 🙄
I could roll it all up in a massive rizla.

The dusting slippers, I can’t remember what she calls them. The sparkly pen to go with the book. Defo wax melts and a nice burner. Lots of bits and bobs if you look on her high lights or her stories for a few days

Oh I would LOVE this!!

@brandorapraithwaite I've done quite a few, off the top of my head theres some baby ones, with the usual paraphernalia, a favourite colours one (lots of small stuff but all in the same colour which featured jewellery, cosmetics, notebooks, pens, accessories etc. Looked quite impressive all in one colour. Box and wrap/bow to match) the bread making one I mentioned before, a glitz one, with lots of shimmer and shine cosmetics and trinkets A new house one, which I guess was similar to the hinch one I'll be making but that had plants, frames in too. Also the usual favourite food/drinks ones. You have GOT to make a giant cigarette paper wrapped one for your husband!

Idbemonica1 - I see what you did there
This would be my perfect gift,
Elbow Grease
Minky
Scrub Daddy
Kermit
Dave the Duster
Febreeze
Dettol spray
Anything by Astonish
Flash Bathroom
A Sonic Scrubber
White Vinegar Spray

I could suggest loads more but I'll stop now!

Oh and a fireside one with everything in a coal bucket. Had a toasting fork for muffins, marshmallows, fancy box for matches etc.

We would have adored the fireside one too!
I thought of another one- new puppy or new kitten stuff for someone getting a new pet

Buff Tings !

Ooh, that would be super cute! All in a pet bed/travel carrier!

Totally get it! My Mum would like that too, but I have not inherited the clean gene!! Definitely Zoflora - they often bring out new fragrances and sometimes a Christmas one. Some of those e-cloths, that are pretty damn good. Have a look on the Lakeland website - my Mum loves that shop for cleaning gadgetry.

It sounds a lovely present for your mum Flamingnorahs and much better than something that seems more 'presenty' but that she wouldn't like as much.

Thinking about the cellophane and single use plastic problem, would one of those beeswax wrap sheets that you can use instead of cling film work instead?

Let’s abandon the practice of extra ‘wee’ presents. If you are sure your mum would love this, just give her the hamper. Very few of us need more ‘stuff’, it’s just extra expense, packaging and landfill.

I recently gave my mum (in her 70s) a ladder for Christmas. It was an unconventional gift but she was thrilled with it. I didn’t give her a lot of extra wee gifts - one well chosen, thoughtful present is more than enough.

Mrs Hinch’s autobiography is out in the autumn too, so you could put that in. I think it’s a lovely idea let people know their own mum’s!

For my mum’s birthday this year I made her a colourful birthday grotto in the garden to have drinks in, other people’s mum’s might hate that 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you all so much for all your suggestions! I got some things in tkmaxx today like retro looking brushes, cloths etc. Will go to home bargains tomorrow to get some products in nice bottles! I've also ordered a personalised caddy to use as the hamper.

@Thisismytimetoshine Ha ha, not necessarily cleaning products! I think that would be a surprise to my friends and family! But the idea of hampers I do like.
