£5 Christmas Hamper

Holy Mother!!!!! That’s a very expensive hamper!

I don't even know what most of those things are!

I spotted this and I thought of you veggie!  Wishfull thinking methinks!

Thanks Vinny! I thought it was the inside of my store cupboard.
I did a rough count of items - 91 and divided the price of the hamper £165 by 91 to give an approximate cost of £1.80 for each item. That would mean 3 items for £5.
I wonder which 3 I'll get.

I’d have the after eights, bottle of bubbly and the fray bentos pie.   

That sounds like a good night in to me 

I'd settle for the Salted peanuts, Chocolate brazils and a Christmas cake. Not a well balanced meal but OK to nibble on through the evening.

I remember my Uncle getting hampers with large tins of blackcurrant jam (nice) and a whole chicken in jelly in a tin (not so nice)

A few years ago, when I had the cottage in West Wales, I'd been staying there for a few days before Christmas, intending to drive home on Christmas Eve. I'd eaten all the fresh food and the cupboards were bare. I was packed and ready to leave.
Then I had a message from my neighbour in Cardiff, "Don't come back unless you have to, we're snowed in and you won't be able to drive up the hill to your house".
As I weighed up my options, stay with no food or drive and hope for a thaw before I arrive, the builder who'd been doing some work on the house arrived! Not just the builder, but he'd brought me an M&S hamper as a thank you present. There was a bottle of wine, port, cheese, biscuits, cake, chocolate and more. It was like a miracle and my mind was made up!
I stayed there for Christmas, took my hamper to my neighbours and shared their Christmas dinner and walked on the beach in the sunshine afterwards.
That's the only food hamper I've had and I still have the basket.

       

Sorry about the blurriness - its the excitement! All the above items were in the £5 hamper (actually 2 brown paper carrier bags with a festive bow). The white stuff in the front is cheese. Also 2 bags of clementines and some pears. 
I bought an ordinary £5 pantry bag as well containing a joint of pork, lots more veg and fruit, butter, bread and cakes.

Nobody predicted Washing powder and men's toiletries. 

Washing powder never entered my head, I did pick mince pies, cheese and crackers.
Looks a usable hamper some items you’d eat and others to give away/swap.
