Make Your Own Easter Hamper

Easter is around the corner and you might be looking or that perfect gift for a family member or perhaps a close friend. Whilst you could go to a store or shop online for a gorgeous Easter hamper, it’s much more personal and meaningful if you make your own. Let’s take a look at what you could include in your hamper and how you can pull it all together for Easter Sunday.

What Are You Putting Everything In?

To start with, you need to decide what will be the hamper part of your gift. What will you put all your Easter goodies in? You can buy empty hampers and baskets online, which become cheaper if you buy them in bulk. Perhaps you’ll find a wicker basket or picnic hamper in a charity shop. Head to the supermarket and take a look at what cardboards boxes they have at the end of the tills. If you can find a strong decent sized box you’re sorted. Simply cover it in some bright, bold and springtime looking wrapping paper and you’ve got yourself a DIY Easter hamper. Tear up some thinner cardboard to fill the bottom of the hamper with, giving it extra support, strength and allowing the products to have some protection from damage.

Easter Goodies

It wouldn’t be an Easter hamper without plenty of Easter goodies. From chocolate Easter eggs of all shapes and sizes, to cakes and tasty treats, be sure to fill your hamper in style. Cadbury’s Creme Eggs, Kit Kat Bunnies, personalised Easter eggs from the likes of Thorntons. There are loads of Easter themed sweets around these days, including jelly Easter rabbits rather than jelly babies and there are also eco-friendly Easter treats available. Add fantastic Easter goodies so whoever you’re making the hamper for can enjoy Easter with delicious goodies.

Something Different

How about creating a hamper with things they perhaps wouldn’t get at Easter? Luxury looking jams, cereals and coffee for Easter Monday breakfast. Maybe things for the home? A sweet smelling springtime candle, a homemade bath bomb, spa products or some new artwork for their walls. People often get inundated with chocolate eggs at Easter so something a little out the box, in your hamper, could be a great gift.

You could even hand make some chocolate flapjack to include, or make some white chocolate fudge. 

Get The Drinks In

Whether you want to include a bottle of bubbly or some fine wine, check the alcohol aisle and pick out something on offer. There is always a decent wine with a good percentage knocked off. Meaning your hamper looks that little bit more expensive that it actually is. If you’re not one for including some booze, take a look at some soft drinks. Again, one of the fancy ones like Belvoir or Shloer is usually on offer. Maybe a decent box of tea is more up your street?

Springtime Flowers

Why not send some flowers this Easter to brighten up the living room of your family friends? A beautiful bouquet is wonderful. You could also create a centrepiece for the recipient to use in the middle of their Easter Sunday dinner table. It could be the icing on the cake of your Easter hamper. Add some cute and cuddly Easter characters too. A beautiful way to share some Easter love.

Make your own Easter hamper this year, make more than one if you feel like it. When you’ve done it once, you’ll never go back to buying shop bought hampers again!

You know that saying that a Sunday well spent brin You know that saying that a Sunday well spent brings a week of content?

That’s been our whole entire day today! Lots going on this week in our personal lives, business (deliveries, checking in with web developers about our biggest project to date) and health stuff (hospital first thing tomorrow for me 😩) so today we have spent the day having a deep clean, declutter session, getting odd jobs done and even boiling eggs for easy snacks this week. I’m nothing if not thorough.

It means getting to spend some nice chilled out time reading a book, drinking some biscuit flavoured tea and winding down.

Do you use your Sunday to prep for the week ahead?

I don't know about you, but being home more has me I don't know about you, but being home more has meant that our energy bills have been increasing. We are on a mission to cut back on our energy usage and save some money. Getting a smart meter would definitely help us to keep an eye on our usage in an attempt to cut down on our energy bills and we can't wait to get one.

AD Did you know that there are even smart prepay meters? It means that as customers it is easier to track your usage and top up from the comfort of your own home. 

Check out my stories where I am sharing 5 ways we are reducing our energy usage to save money.

One of my favourite, and most unusual tips, is to pop a clean, dry towel into every load of laundry in the tumble 

dryer. This cuts down on the drying time which then helps us to use less energy.

A year ago today I took the biggest decision of my A year ago today I took the biggest decision of my life and had a gastric bypass to improve my health.

And improve my health it did! I have reversed my diabetes and discovered I have cancer.

My journey wasn’t straight forward - I’m not where I want to be but I’m well on my way 💪🏻

Weight loss surgery is a tool and it doesn’t fix your brain. It doesn’t fix a life time of emotional eating. But it helps along the journey 💪🏻

I keep being asked for an update but I feel like there isn’t much to say. I still struggle to eat nectarines and pears. Hitting my daily protein goals is hard work. I’ve lost a lot of my hair but I like it. I am getting stuck in the same 5lb bracket where my weight is hovering,  but I don’t feel as though I have the mental strength to push through right now. If you’ve seen my stories recently then you’ll know that I’m in a very bad place mentally right now.

Lockdown 1: we are all in this together. House pro Lockdown 1: we are all in this together. House projects. Garden projects. Sour dough. Grow things from seed. Start that side hustle or business. Have those zoom quizzes. Go for your daily walk.

Lockdown 2: we’ve done this before, we can do it again. We are doing it for Christmas. We’ve got this 💪🏻

Lockdown 3: Nope I’m done.

And that’s okay. Let’s just do what we need to do so that we live to see another day.

Jars of...Motivation! Did these little jars save Jars of...Motivation!

Did these little jars save me from a serious head funk?

Why yes they did!

Let me explain. I've got a lot of ideas and projects on to go. Looking at my to do lists is OVERWHELMING. What do I do instead? Nothing!

Mental health and The Overwhelm had got to me. There was no 'new year, new me' this year. There was 'new year, same depressed me under a cloud of darkness who isn't getting things done'.

Until my business mentor stepped in and we came up with this strategy to make jars for some of my projects, and write out tasks to do for those projects.

Now instead of looking at a to do list, getting overwhelmed and doing nothing I have some pretty jars to pull a task out from. Okay, it isn't perfect - sometimes I pull something out that needs another task doing first so I just pop it back inside and pick out another one.

If you are struggling then I would really recommend this technique! It got me out of a funk.
