    Question Putting together a hamper...

    So for 2 lots of family members (both couples - MIL and FIL and then SIL and BIL) i am just making a hamper with bits and peices (nothing hand made though - that was original idea, but with 2 days til christmas i dont have time for that sadly .. always next year lol)
    So i just got a cheap cute box from King Kongs.. (not super big but not small)
    and so far have the following things (both the same)
    -Toblerone (sp?) chocolate bar
    - Lindt white chocolate block of chocolate
    - bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans (the awesome ones with all the diff flavours)
    -Packet of shortbread
    -small Candy Canes
    - a nice bag of mixed nuts
    any more ideas ladies??

    For bil/sil one i will be buying him a leather stubby cooler and putting a can of JD in it ( a running joke - he collects them and i get him a different one each year) for sil i will be getting her a nice 2012 diary.

    For Mil/Fil.. i dont know what little personalised things i can put in there?

    ANY suggestions are welcomed.. will be going down and getting the rest of my shopping later today.. (i know im insane, right?!)

    TIA xox
