A MUM has wowed fellow parents on Facebook after showing off her incredible DIY chocolate hamper.
Explaining she made the chocolate box using just a bargain find from Poundland, the mum revealed it would also work for alcohol and toys – depending on who it’s for.
Writing on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains group, she said: “I made this chocolate box.
“Pick a strong quality box from Poundland, this one is massive and £5 or the Card Factory, you can get the small ones for £1.”
In the clip, the mum lifts the lid of the box revealing a hamper filled to the brim with chocolate.
Explaining how she made it, she said: “Cut the sides, poke two small holes in the lid and add ribbon.
“Get some chocolate stick it down! Or could use candles alcohol or toys what ever you want!
“It would make the perfect gift for a loved one… Merry Xmas!”
Inside the hamper, the box was filled with every chocolate lover’s dream, including huge bars of Cadbury and even an entire tin of Freddos.
The mum had also lined the edges of the box with Kinder bars as well as crunchies and fudge bars.
