Getting ready for Christmas again

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Hampergifts

One of the pitfalls of running a company that sells Christmas hampers is that we have to turn our thoughts to the festival season much earlier than most people.

If we didn’t, then we wouldn’t be ready with our usual amazing range of Christmas hampers when people started wanting to buy them. That would be no way to run a business or keep our customers satisfied!

However, with all the excitements of this year’s exceptional summer, it’s been extra hard to get into Christmas mode. Don’t panic though: we’ve managed it and we’re confident we’ve come up with our best-ever range of Christmas hampers and gifts, no matter whether you’re buying for close family, good friends, important business clients … or anyone else for that matter.

Here are some of the highlights we have in store for Christmas 2012:

Always a favourite and still offering superb value for money, our Christmas Cracker hamper clocks in at under £20, yet still includes Christmas cake, delicious biscuits, gourmet tea and coffee and some tasty chocolate coated almonds.

Christmas cracker

At the other end of the scale, you can really splash out with the appropriately named Majestic hamper. The lucky recipient might need some help to handle this incredible selection of treats, which includes a selection of alcoholic drinks, biscuits, cakes and much, much more.

The Majestic

If you’re not a fan of the traditional wicker hamper (or gave them as presents last year), our Christmas Treats Tower or Chocolate and Nut Delight both offer an unusual alternative. The delicacies that make up these lovely gifts come packaged in a tower of decorated, eye-catching, reusable boxes.

Christmas Treats Tower

With most of our hampers and gifts, it’s what’s inside that you’ll appreciate most. But with our Jewellery Box Christmas Surprise, you’ll find delicious chocolates nestling inside an etched glass jewellery box that will last for years to come.

Jewellery Box Christmas Surprise

You can view our full range of Christmas hampers and gifts online now, and order them with just a couple of clicks of your mouse. Go on, take a look – it’s a good idea to get Christmas inspiration early!

Are you prepared for Father’s Day on 17th June?

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Hampergifts

208

With Euro 2012 happening in June and the Olympics later in the summer, Father’s Day could be easily missed this year. It falls on 17 June, the date when lucky dads up and down the country will be unwrapping new pairs of socks and enjoying breakfast, lunch or dinner cooked by their nearest and dearest.

And although we might be biased, we reckon the luckiest dads of all will be unwrapping one of our tasty Father’s Day treats. From tea and coffee to something stronger, we have a wide range to suit every dad’s taste … and to fit almost every budget too. How about these?

The Premium Beer Box does pretty much what it says on the label, and for a lot of dads we know it’s hard to see how you could go wrong with this. With three premium lagers from Italy, Peru and the Czech Republic, dad will also find a carefully-chosen selection of cake, snacks and treats.

Keep things simple and classy with this medal-winning Australian Merlot, which comes in a luxurious, reusable faux-leather case and a waiter’s friend, the timeless corkscrew and bottle-opener that makes light work of even the most stubborn corks. Delicious!

If you want to steer away from food and drink, this elegant executive tie tidy is a great way to say ‘dad, it’s time to update your wardrobe’ with tact. The matching tie and handkerchief set adds a touch of flair to almost any suit. There’s hair and body wash, moisturiser, muscle soak and muscle rub too.

There are a couple of options for spirit lovers – no matter whether they prefer whisky or whiskey. For the former, check out our Wonderful Whisky Hamper. For the latter, the Jack Daniel’s Hamper is bound to put a big smile on dad’s face.

That’s only a taste of what we have to offer, but it’s easy to check out all our options (including cigars, cheese and coffee) on our website. We’re confident we have the perfect Father’s Day gift – no matter what your dad’s into.

Father’s Day Competition:

We’re giving away 3 x Premium Beer Box hampers to three lucky winners in June!

To enter: Just tell us about the funniest/ most original Fathers Day gift you’ve ever given (or received!)

Simply post your comment below and the three best entries will each win this lovely beer gift to be delivered anywhere in the UK. The closing date is 31 May and we’ll announce the lucky winners here shortly after!

Congratulations to:

We will be in touch shortly – please check your email!

Eggs and more for the perfect Easter

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Hampergifts

If Christmas is the biggest season of indulgence, Easter can’t be far behind. At least, not where chocolate is concerned. That’s no surprise, really, as everyone knows the Easter egg is one of the best ways to enjoy chocolate.

But there’s something to be said for variety around this time of year. Yes, it wouldn’t be Easter without eggs, but equally, it’s quite possible to have too much of a good thing.

That’s why we’ve created a whole selection of Easter gifts and hampers, combining the essential Easter eggs with plenty of other sweets treats and tasty bites.

Our affordable Sweet Easter Surprise includes a luxurious full-size Easter egg, some addictive mini chocolate eggs (good for sharing, even better when kept to yourself), a selection of chocolates and even a chocolate-coated marzipan loaf. If that all gets too much, have a break by trying the fruitcake instead.

We’re really proud of our gift towers. They’re always packed with carefully-selected items and they look really spectacular too. The Enchanted Easter Tower is no exception, with its woven gift boxes, generous milk chocolate egg and plenty of other delicious indulgences.

Wine and chocolate make a great combination, and that’s why you’ll be on to a winner if you send our Ruby Red Wine Hamper to someone special. The centrepiece is a stunning Argentinean Malbec – and accompanying it you’ll find special chocolates, nuts and other delights.

Push the boat out with our Easter Delight Hamper. One of our most luxurious Easter Hampers, it’s a really extravagant mix of white wine, biscuits, cake, tea and more … plus, of course, a decadent selection of eggs and other chocolate.

Apart from chocolate, do you like to celebrate Easter by giving any other presents? Leave a comment to let us know.

Make it a very happy Mothers Day in 2012

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Hampergifts

Have you got Mothers’ Day in your diary yet? It’s approaching fast – this year Sunday 18 March is the day when you’ll need to shower your mum with cards, flowers, lunch and all the rest.

Ok, ok, so Mothers’ Day is different for everyone. Some people like to mark it with a trip to the local pub for a nice lunch, flower sellers do brisk business, and many people simply drop a card in the post.

It’s the thought that counts, of course – but we think one of the best ways to show you’ve really thought about your mum is to choose a present you’ll know they’ll love. And we might be a little biased, but a hamper packed with special treats seems like a great option to us! It certainly makes a change from flowers, although there’s no guarantee a hamper will last any longer if you choose well.

We have a range of Mothers’ Day gifts on our main website. With prices from under £30, they’re an affordable way to send your mum a slice of luxury. You’re not limited to hampers either – you’ll find gift boxes, impressive towers and even a stylish bowl filled with pampering gifts.

For a wine-loving mum, try our Wine, Cheese and Pate Hamper. The combination of award-winning Red Leicester cheese, and respected Argentinean red wine will go down a treat on that Sunday afternoon.

For something soft and cuddly, it has to be the Champagne Gift Box. Not only will your mum get a bottle of rose Champagne, but she’ll also be spoilt rotten with a choice of chocolates and a soft teddy bear.

For the ultimate pampering, you’ll be needing the Luxury Organic Pamper Hamper. Not only does the name rhyme, but this hamper contains a luscious selection of AmaZene bath and body products.

How will you be celebrating Mothers’ Day in 2012? Leave a comment to let us know.

Love is all around our Valentines hampers

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Hampergifts

It can feel like a real slog getting through the dark winter months after Christmas. Often it’s a time for cranking up the heating, hibernating under the duvet and drinking hot chocolate.

Still, there’s one bright event on the horizon at this time of year. That’s Valentine’s Day. For some, it’s the chance to remind a long-term partner how much they love them. For others, it’s the chance to spoil their other half, or even spark the start of a new relationship.

No matter which group you fall in to, Valentine’s Day is one time when being clichéd will get you in someone’s good books. Flowers, chocolates, sweet treats and cuddly toys – everyone likes to be spoiled rotten on 14 February. And you don’t need to look any further than our range of Valentine’s gifts and hampers. Here are some of our favourites:

The classic Valentines Haze gift pack contains an impressive selection of soaps, bath blasters and mallows. Handmade and wrapped in a package that screams love, this one’s for someone special who loves to relax in the tub.
See the Valentines Haze gift pack >

You cannot go wrong with chocolate on Valentine’s Day. That’s why our Chocolate Lovers’ Hamper is such a favourite. Packed with well-known and boutique chocolate treats, there’s more than enough for two to share.
See the Chocolate Lovers’ Hamper >

Pop the cork on a Champagne hamper and you’ll be guaranteed to impress. Filled with a miniature bottle of Lanson Champagne plus truffles, fruit cake and other surprises, it’ll set you up for a romantic day.

And finally … it’s a cuddly toy! The centrepiece of the Cuddly Dog Gift Box is a soft, cuddly floppy dog who’s proclaiming his love. Don’t worry – there are plenty of delicious chocolates and a perky bottle of wine too.

So, no matter what your style is, we’re confident we have a Valentine’s treat that’s right for that special someone. See our full selection of hampers and gift ideas now.

A hamper is not just for Christmas…

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Hampergifts

As you might expect, Christmas is our busiest period. As usual, in 2011 we decided to shut up shop for a while once we’d sent out our last festive order. It gave the team here the chance to relax, to spend time with their families and come back refreshed and ready for another year spent creating the best hampers around!

We were all back in the office on Monday. And although nobody’s buying Christmas hampers at this time of year, we still see a steady stream of orders – after all, hampers are great for all kinds of occasions.

Celebrate a new arrival with our Deluxe Baby Hamper (available for boys and for girls). Or if you think the new parents deserve pampering, they might appreciate our Luxury Food Tower. Tasty! See more new baby gifts >

Need a gift for a special client or member of staff? What about the Chocolate Heaven Hamper? It’s guaranteed to satisfy anyone – as long as they like chocolate. If you think your company might want to place regular orders, read about our corporate services

Bubbles are guaranteed to provide a smile, so our Sparkling Surprise Hamper is perfect for saying ‘happy birthday’ to a good friend. Pop the cork and it could be the start of a good night. See more birthday hampers >

We offer hampers for all kinds of other occasions, including hampers to say thank you or get well soon. In fact, no matter what the occasion, we’re confident you’ll find a hamper to suit. Check out the full selection on our website.

Oh – and although we don’t stock any Christmas hampers at the moment, if you did forget someone’s Christmas present and need to make it up to them, this whisky and fruit cake hamper should do the trick!

Our Christmas hampers have arrived

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Hampergifts

There’s one for every taste too, from the Christmas Sparkle, our elegant wicker hamper which includes a bottle of delicious bubbles, to specialist hampers like our gluten free Christmas Goody Box.

Choose from over 20 festive presents

With over 20 Christmas hampers available, you’ll want to take time finding exactly the right one for friends, family, colleagues – as well as anyone else you want to send a hamper to this year.

Outrageous and unusual hampers: from £25k to adults only!

Posted on October 1, 2011 by Hampergifts

174

We’re really proud of our range of hampers and we think they’re appropriate for almost any occasion. But if you can’t find a hamper on our website to suit your needs, maybe you need one of these unusual hampers instead!

[And if you have an amusing hamper idea yourself - enter the competition under this post!]

The £25,000 Christmas hamper. Our most expensive luxury hampers come in at well under £300 (and they’re worth every penny), but that’s small change compared to Fortnum & Mason’s Snow Queen Hamper. Available in 2008, it included a magnum of champagne and four pounds of caviar. Unsurprisingly, it fell victim to the credit crunch and didn’t reappear in 2009.

Fortnum & Mason’s Snow Queen Hamper.

The washing up liquid hamper. Apparently, gift hampers are popular in Thailand. But as well as the usual baskets filled with tasty treats, you can get more unorthodox hampers – including ones that contain cleaning products and washing up liquid, or toothpaste and mouthwash. Would you appreciate being given some toilet roll in a basket for Christmas?

The Chinese New Year hamper. Chinese superstore Wing Yip offers this excellent Chinese New Year hamper, containing sauces, chopsticks and even a wok. Ideal, perhaps, if you’re aiming to explore some new types of cooking. Alternatively, apparently it’s easy and fun to build your own Chinese hamper for Christmas.

Chinese New Year hamper

An ‘adults only’ hamper. To be honest, we’re not sure where to start with these ones (the link is definitely not safe for kids, or for work either!). A selection of adult hampers suitable both for ‘beginners’ and for ‘advanced users’, it’s easy to see these as just a bit of fun. Until you see the price tag, that is – at up to £2,000, some of these hampers are quite an investment.

The crazy-amount-of-food-in-a-single-hamper hamper. This Australian firm’s Christmas hampers left us feeling rather confused. Options appear to include lots of crisps or an enormous selection of frozen vegetables . Our favourite, however, is the Mega Holiday hamper which includes such delights as baked beans, paper towels and quite a lot of meat. At around £700, we’re sure you’ll agree it’s a bargain.

Mega Holiday hamper

Competition: Can you think of an amusing hamper idea?

Leave us your suggestions below and the funniest / most original idea will win our bestselling Ruby Hamper delivered anywhere in the UK!

The competition will run until the end of October and we’ll announce the winner here & on our website at the beginning of November. So time to get your creative hats on!

Congratulations to: * Jane Sparrow *

Thank you very much for your entry Jane – a QUANTITATIVE EASING HAMPER! – and we will be in touch shortly to get your delivery address.

Dodge the showers with our new picnic food hamper

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Hampergifts

It’s fair to say the British summer has been playing its usual tricks this year. After a positive start back at the beginning of June it spluttered its way through July and into August with a typical mix of sun, rain, clouds and quite a bit of wind, too.

No wonder we love to talk about the weather here – we do get a lot of it!

Take advantage of the next sunny spell

We’re not going to make any predictions about when the next spell of good weather will arrive, but we do think it pays to be prepared. And that’s why we’ve just added a brand new hamper to our range: the picnic food hamper.

Containing everything you need for an impromptu picnic, when you buy this hamper you’ll be able to grab it and go next time the sun shines. Or you can give it to someone special, of course – it’s entirely up to you.

Retro picnic basket style

Continuing the trend for retro picnic baskets, this one contains both the food you need for a successful picnic, plus cutlery and crockery to serve it up in style. In fact, it’s just right for a romantic day out with someone special.

And to coin a cliché, it’s a gift that keeps on giving. Once you’ve got through all the delicious stuff inside (it includes oatcakes, pickle, nuts and other tasty items) you can reuse the basket. The high quality crockery will last for years too.
