Fresh Design Gift Guide: Christmas hampers for all budgets

December 13, 2013 By Rachel Newcombe Leave a Comment

There’s something special about receiving a hamper at Christmas. Unwrapping the parcel, opening the box and peeling back the straw to see what’s hidden inside. Whether it’s been specially made and put together just for you, or been bought ready made, it’s a great gift choice for those hard-to-buy for recipients.

What’s more, many hampers are packed in gorgeous baskets or boxes that can be reused once the goodies are gone, so a hamper isn’t necessarily just a short-lived present.

There are some stunning hampers available, from the ultimate dream hampers and high end luxury gifts, to themed hampers, chocolate hampers and budget-conscious options. Here’s a selection of hamper ideas to whet your appetite, including some on special offer.

Dream hampers

The ultimate hampers we dream of, but are unlikely to ever afford….

Most expensive Christmas gift hamper

The Decadence hamper – if you happen to have a spare £20,000 floating around (no, we can’t believe that price either!), then you could splash your cash on this limited edition hamper from Harrods. It includes, champagne, wines, confectionery, fresh caviar, charcuterie, crackers and much more, all packed into a luxury trunk.
