    Question Hamper ideas

    I'm wanting to make hampers for both my SIL's and their families but am stuck for ideas..

    For both SIL's i was thinking a bottle of wine and their hubby's a bottle of bourban/rum. It's their children i'm finding difficult coming up with an idea.

    SIL 1 has 5 children their ages are: 8, 6, 4, 3 and 10 months.

    SIL 2 has 3 children: 17, 8 and 5.

    I don't know if i should get each of the kids an individual gift or things they can share, eg board game, bubbles and make up lollie bags but for SIL 2's step daughter some make up or another age appropriate gift and SIL's 10 month old an age appropriate toy or an outfit perhaps.

    What do you think? Any other ideas?

    Oh i should add i can't cook so baked goods are out of the question.

    I like the idea of shared presents. What about some tennis balls, playing cards, cookie cutters, jigsaw puzzles etc. Kmart have some card games and board games at reasonable prices, I bought some the other day for our camper.

    I was in the chemist today and saw a box set of 5 fluro nail polishes for $10, that might be good for the 17yo.

    Do you have a spotlight near you? for the littler kids art/craft stuff is always good.
    You could make up things like "pom pom kits" cut out afew different sized stencils and some bright colored wool/ twine.
    Monster or fairy kits also with stencils but glitter pens and little bits of fur/ lace etc
    That kinda stuff?

    Both are great ideas and have given me a lot to think about.
