Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) Here are a couple of my hampers, I have made up more, smaller ones but didn't have time to locate the camera for evidence before I handed them out! The smaller ones I package into little brown paper carrier bags, so they are easier to carry. I took the pics before cellophane as the flash reflected badly off some other bits I tried to photograph. A friends hamper, with onion marmalade, chookie eggs Christmas salt & chocolate dipped oranges, decorated with dried orange slices Mum & Dad's Hamper with all the goodies buried in popcorn ...with the goodies dug out & mainly visible;Limoncello, Crabapple brandy, Cranberry vodka, CHristmas salt, chookie eggs, Cranberry jelly, Orange & Drambuie Marmalade, Onion marmalade, 2 packs of Lebkuchen Have asked for all unwanted packaging to be returned for recycling at a later date ! I think they were all thrilled to have these, so am feeling rather chuffed with myself. Thank you everyone for the advice and recipes!! Sha x Edited to put the pictures back in as I had moved them on photobucket!!! Edited December 28, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 They do look lovely! It's so nice when you put all the bits together isn't it Carl made small dishes of pate on Christmas Eve to go in ours - I had to finish them off with a layer of clarified butter yesterday morning - and nipped out in my nightie for some small bay leaves to set in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Well....it was a really mild morning! - and it was nice to be out there with the sky just changing to a slight pink. It turned out to be the only time I had outside yesterday so I'm glad I didn't miss it. Carl took all the littlies - and Jazz - up to the top of the big hill behind my sister's house.....something I still can't manage as it is too steep to try when the ground is so wet...... I'm glad to say that our family seemed really appreciative and happy to investigate the hampers......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Those all look gorgeous . I'm sure it must be obvious the effort that goes into them . I know I'd appreciate it (if you ever run out of friends ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
