Themed hampers are a great idea for a gift… My lovely Mum has, over the last few years, built me a ‘foodie’ hamper from her trips to the local Hare Hatch garden centre (amusingly she makes us give her back the empty wicker hamper so she can re-use it).
So inspired by this, now that she’s sadly staying in a rest home, the boys and I have put together a themed-hamper for her birthday… a Stationery Hamper.
Stationery Themed Hamper – We used a box-file filled with:
- Pencil case
- Smart new pens
- Diary for next year
- Pack of post Christmas cards for her to send out
- Pack of home made notelets
- Book of stamps
- Return self adhesive address labels
- Some posh hand cream
The boys decorated the exterior of the box file to make it look like an envelope – very clever!
Not to be out-done… the other Grandma is book-crazy, so we decided to use ANOTHER box file (this time decorated as a book…)
And filled it full of book-themed gifts:
Book Themed Hamper – We used a box-file filled with:
- A selection of new books
- Some Christmassy ginger cordial
- Some Posh Booja Booja chocolates
- A home made bookmark
- Some fancy post-it notes
What would you put in your hamper?
