My husband and I are going to my sister in law's for christmas dinner, we are going to take her a gift but i also thought i could make a nice xmas hamper for her to say thank you, I think a lot of hampers are full of stuff you dont really want or need, any ideas of some nice things???

Find out what she likes.
If she's into smellies, make up a hamper full of bath salts, homemade soaps, bath bombs, shower gels, etc.
If the hamper is for the both of them, some massage oils, bath oils, floating candles, chocolate body paint.
Does she like pasta? Put together some unusual pasta shapes and various oils and sauces.
Various cheeses and wine with jars of chutneys, crackers, dips.
A teddy bear holding a bottle of champagne and a box of chocs.
Candles, incense sticks, bath oils, floating rose petals, bath robe.
Hope those help.
I'd be happy with any of them.

Well you could go many ways with this. You could do the whole theme thing (what does she like? Hobby?) or you can do a christmas dessert thing. Like a great cake from your favorite bakery or you secret recipe. Some coffee and powder creamer (they have some great holiday flavors) maybe some holiday type disposable plates and cups or something to pamper herself after the rush of the holidays (some scented candles expensive chocolates, luxurious bubble bath and the latest best seller--I just discovered Susan Wiggs-- and some great lotions in her favorite scent)
Yeah these baskets are awesome ways to say your great!!
Oh and I just picked up Womans World for 12/26 and they have a mess of ideas to (browse it at the check out for ideas pg 24-26 lol)

You could stick with a theme, like tea or coffee. Buy a couple of nice cups and put them in the hamper with a variety of coffees or teas and food items that would go with it, like biscotti or tea biscuits and jam. You could also do a soup hamper and make the cups large enough to be soup-friendly. Good luck.

A variety of "luxury" things which perhaps your sister in law could not normally afford or might not think of to use, bearing in mind any food likes or dislikes or allergies. And preferably things which will not perish too quickly. Speciality Pasta or dried goods ie mushrooms!
I don't eat shell fish and anything with sugar - could you make me up one too? Ta.
Happy Christmas. It is a good idea and I make them up for other friends. They enjoy them.

Look up Basket Cases on Free Web. They are excellent and can make baskets up and personalise them into the bargain. Highly recommended.
