Someone is coming to visit for a few days. They are bringing a Christmas hamper with them. What would you hope to see in it?

That seems like a very big hamper to me for a guest to bring, unless they're coming in a lorry...

Lots of chocolate and biscuits
Nuts
Satsumas
Cake

Books! Many, many books.

Money is always nice, too.

Freshly baked vegan stoellen, with integral baby marzipan
The recipe for the above
Their fantastic secret mulling spice mix
Kaoka dark orange chocolate in the shape of an orange
A batch of Mater's mince pies, still hot from the oven

Hmm - this list is growing at a scary speed :-)

Homemade goods, possibly including pie, cake, coookies, and/or candy.
Nice jars of things.

Things in a hamper are ideally things which either keep well for a long time for a season of potential generosity overdose or long periods of incipient travel; or else can be consumed right away with minimal additional prepraration fuss.

chocolate
saffron buns
decent biccies
tinned sprats
proper cheese cake
blackberries
cheese
hazelnuts
ice cream
Anything on my wishlist (book(s), bookmark, backpack, laptop, money....)
Something I haven't thought of but would really like

[redcountess]

shortbread biscuits, mince pies, a leg of ham, christmas cake (no icing), christmas pudding, chocolates, crackers, jams and marmalades, and a bottle of champagne

Probably an antidote to 'normal' Christmas food - lots of light things rather than the really rich stuff that you normally get at Christmas.

Very rich, fruity cake. With cherries.

Alcohol (duh)

scones with devonshire cream
Belgian chocolates
ham

I would hope it was decorated with tinsel, and little lights, and was cute, and had little whiskers and wheel to run round and round so it didn't get bored.
