Hamper or something like that...

[Nicksgirl]

In Italy in September we met the most fabulous artist, well to cut a long story short, she had done the most amazing portrait of our wonderful dog (our baby) who we sadly lost in June, its my husband's main Christmas present. Now I am paying for it this week, but I would also like to send a gift as a thank you.
Thinking about £40 to £50. Any ideas gang please ?
Something unique would be lovely if possible.

What about a hamper of produce local to you? Could you make up a gift basket with local honey, chutneys, savoury biscuits? That way you are giving a lovely gift but also supporting local business.

Can’t think of anything else but I will try and come up with other suggestions

Edit to add could you include locally produced gin or similar?

Not sure if you are allowed to post these sort of items?

I would agree with the above post and go with items that are known locally to you. When I finally met my german pen pal I did a hamper with uncle joes mint balls, a recipe (on a beautiful card from a local shop) for a famous wigan pie, a local farm baked cookies. That kind of thing.
It will be things that are personal to were you live plus items she probably has not tried.
I would love to see the painting if possible?
I do love art x x
