Birthday Hamper

Perfect gift idea for when your friend deserves to be pampered for their birthday... 

I put together this pamper hamper for my good friend for her birthday. Packaged using the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set (145519) in Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay and Daffodill Delight. The colour combination is bright and fun, but you could tailor this for anyone and any occasion. 

I simply created an open top box to hold all the items and decorated the sides. Placed this in a large cello bag and finnished it off with ribbon and a matching tag. These where made to coordinate with the card, which I made first.

This Pamper Hamper included: 

Box of cadburys dairy milk chocolates

Small bottle of proccecco 

Relaxation Face mask

Cucumber Eye pads

Foot Spa mask

Hand mask

Scented candle

Lavender bath bomb

Its a super nice way to package a gift like this and does not take too long to make. Have a hunt through your stamp sets, maybe try floral for mothers day, put together a Christmas hamper or themed hamper. These could be movie themed with a DVD, pop corn, chocolates... Or even a tackle hamper for a fishing fan. The possibilities are endless!
