Save money with home made Christmas ‘hampers’
Have you ever bought a pre-made Christmas hamper? They’re OK but unless you spend a fortune, they often contain stuff you’d never eat in a million years. Like jars of anchovies… urgh!

And you can’t beat the personal touch.
Here’s a few ideas for creating beautiful Christmas gift hampers with a difference. You can cut the cost of many of the ‘ingredients’ using our discount codes.
A grow your own herbs hamper: perfect for young or starter gardeners and for people who love tasty home cooking! Fill a small basket with miniature terracotta pots – decorated if you’re artistic – plus packets of herb seeds, a little book about growing your own herbs, stakes, a mini watering can and a litre pack of compost. Wrap it in cellophane and tie it with a ribbon.
A creative and art hamper: ideal for budding artists and craftsmen of all ages. Fill a basket with tubes of paint, crayons, coloured and lead pencils, a sketch pad, art papers, glues, craft paints, glitters, brushes, felt pens, coloureds sticky tape, rubber stamps, inks…
A luxury bathroom hamper: great for people who love spending time indulging themselves with deep, bubbly, luxurious baths! Find a pretty glass jar – pound shops are great places to pick up attractive Kilner-style jars, spice jars, pasta jars or kitchen storage jars. Fill it with floating candles, bath bombs, rose petals, smelly soaps, bath oils, essential oils and bubble baths. And tie a ribbon round the neck. Yummy!
