Luxury Gift Hampers by The British Hamper Company

faqs

Can I select a specific delivery date for my food hamper delivery?

Yes if you’re sending a food hamper UK wide, we offer the option to choose your hamper delivery date.

 

Once you add your luxury food and drink hamper to the basket, you’ll be able to choose a hamper delivery date in the checkout area.

 

Please note that whilst we aim to deliver your gift hamper on your chosen date, there’s a chance it may arrive up to a couple of days before.

 

When your food hamper is dispatched, you’ll receive tracking information by our courier which will provide an expected delivery date. If this date is not ok – for example if you explicitly need it delivered on the date you selected, you can alter the date via your tracking link. Alternatively, you’re welcome to get in touch with us either before or after purchase and we’ll ensure it’s only delivered on that day.

 

If you’re sending a food and drink hamper abroad, we offer a ‘delivered by’ date. This means your food hamper may arrive up to a few days before. The reason we offer a ‘delivered by’ date for international gift hampers is because they have further to travel so we give ourselves extra leadtime for delivery in case of unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather.

 

Again when your luxury food basket is dispatched you will receive tracking information which will allow you to make delivery date changes if necessary.

Are the British food hampers available for international gift delivery?

Yes, we have plenty of artisan food hampers for international gift delivery. We deliver to over 50 countries worldwide including international delivery to countries in Europe, USA and as far as New Zealand.

 

Not all our luxury food hampers can be sent abroad. Gifts with alcohol or fresh produce are only suitable for UK hamper delivery.

 

Alcohol hampers cannot be sent abroad because of customs restrictions in hamper delivery countries. When sending alcohol in a hamper there is a high risk of delivery delay and additional customs fees – or the gift hamper may not be granted entry at all.

 

As we prioritise exception customer and recipient gifting experience at The British Hamper Company, we will only send British food hampers that we know are accepted into each delivery country.

 

Fresh food cannot be sent abroad because of the requirement to remain chilled for a short period of time in transit. To avoid any risks, we choose not to send fresh food abroad – for example our British cheese hampers or fresh picnic hampers.

 

Our ambient food hampers however are available for international gift delivery. These include our afternoon tea hampers and traditional food hampers. They contain Great Taste Award-winning British artisan produce that does not need to be refrigerated nor does it contain alcohol.

 

We send all of our hampers abroad on a delivery duties paid (DDP) basis. In other words we cover the customs fees and taxes so neither you nor your recipient faces any unexpected customs fees.
 

All our British food hampers for international gift delivery are sent via a reputable courier on a tracked, express service.

Can you send alcohol gifts abroad?

At present we are not shipping alcohol internationally due to customs regulations.

 

As experts in international hamper delivery we prioritise efficiency and reliability and we give our customers the option to choose their preferred international ‘delivered by’ date.

 

As there is significant risk of delays, additional fees and failed delivery when sending alcohol abroad from the UK, we choose not to include alcohol in our hampers to send abroad.

 

Instead, we offer our alcohol free hampers for international gift delivery. Our alcohol free hampers include Great Taste award-winning produce such as our three-star winning Zesty Lemon Curd and our no-nonsense hand-cooked sea salt crisps. They also include soft drinks such as our British Breakfast Tea and Artisan Ground Coffee.

 

If you’re specially looking for alcohol to send abroad, we strongly recommend sourcing alcohol in the delivery country rather than attempting to ship it from the UK.

Do the hampers to USA and other countries include customs duties and taxes?

Yes all hampers to send abroad include customs duties, fees and taxes within the price you pay at checkout.

 

We send all our food and drink hampers on a delivery duties paid (DDP) basis. This means we cover all customs fees so that neither you nor your recipient will receive an unexpected additional customs fee.

 

As experts in international hamper delivery, we prioritise efficiency, simplicity and reliability. We only send food hampers that are approved by each country’s customs and we cover the customs costs to ensure smooth and timely international hamper delivery.

 

If you have any further questions about international hamper delivery and which gift hampers you can send abroad, please get in touch today.

Can we add our company branding to corporate hampers?

Yes we’re delighted to offer branded corporate hampers.

 

Adding your company’s logo and/or message to a corporate food hamper is a great way to reflect your brand in a positive, memorable manner.

 

Rather than sending company merchandise as a gift which can often be considered self-promoting, adding a touch of your company’s presence to a high quality gift has positive recipient interpretation.

 

The most popular method of branding a corporate hamper is to add your company logo to our ribbon. The ribbon is high quality, available in various colours and expertly hand-tied to your corporate hampers. It adds class and sophistication to your gifts for clients.

 

If you would like to explore our corporate hamper branding options we welcome you to get in touch with us today.

How are the luxury food hampers presented?

As experts in thoughtful gifting, a personal feel to our luxury hampers emanates throughout each hamper’s presentation.
 

Firstly, you can choose either a traditional wicker basket hamper or a contemporary lidded hamper box. Both are high quality, recyclable and reusable. In fact, we find that for many recipients the empty hamper boxes and wicker baskets become attractive keepsakes in their home.
 

If you choose one of our lidded hamper boxes it’ll be finished with a hand-tied navy ribbon, whereas our luxury wicker baskets are secured with two high quality straps.
 

Every one of our British made gifts is lovingly hand-packed in the UK for delivery across the UK and world.
 

Ensuring beautiful presentation, our dedicated team carefully place each food item within high quality, vanilla coloured shredded paper.
 

Once the food hamper has been packed, the lid will be closed and a high quality, folded gift card with your personal message will be placed on top, so it’s the first thing your recipient sees.
 

The final step is carefully placing your gift hamper into a recyclable shipping box to ensure safe hamper delivery.

What’s included in the fine food hampers?

At The British Hamper Company we’re members of The Guild of Fine Food. Quality, provenance and flavour is everything to us and we search the length and breadth of Britain to find the most dedicated, passionate artisans to work with.
 

By working with Britain’s leading artisans, we’re proud to have a collection of Great Taste Award-winning produce that we include in our fine food hampers. 
 

This includes our three-star winning Zesty Lemon Curd handmade in Essex, our creamy bean-to-bar chocolate created by our enigmatic Devonshire chocolatier, our rich All Butter Cheddar Biscuits baked by hand in Suffolk and plenty more.
 

Aside from our ambient produce we also include award-winning speciality fresh food in our food and drink hampers, such as British cheeses, smoked salmon and cured meats.
 

And to compliment the bold flavours of the food we have an impressive selection of tipples within our luxury food and drink hampers. Created in the UK, we stock award-winning English sparkling wine, craft British beers, fine Scottish whisky and British gin. Created overseas we have Portuguese wine from dedicated family winemakers, world renowned Champagnes and award-winning Prosecco.

What types of food hamper gifts are available?

On this page you’ll find a selection of food and drink hamper types to choose from.
 

These hamper types include afternoon tea gifts, food and wine hampers, British cheese hampers, chocolate gift hampers, British beer hampers and more.
 

We’ve also categorised our food and drink hampers by price, which is helpful if you’re looking for a gift hamper on a budget. You can browse for hampers under £50, hampers under £100 and more.
 

Many of our corporate customers have a specific budget to stick to when shopping for corporate hampers, so these categories are worth browsing. Alternatively if you’re a corporate customer looking for corporate gift hampers that are more specific in terms of budget and contents, we welcome you to get in touch today.
 

The food and drink hampers in this section are not categorised by occasion because they’re suitable for year-round gifting. Whether you’re looking for birthday food hampers, Mother’s Day gift hampers, Christmas gift baskets or Valentine’s food gifts, there will be a hamper to suit.  

Do you have any gluten free food hampers or gifts for coeliacs?

Yes we have a generous collection of gluten free hampers for UK and international gift delivery.

 

You can head straight to our gluten free hamper collection by scrolling to the top of this page and clicking “dietary requirements” on the menu bar.

 

You will then find a list of dietary hampers such as gluten free hampers, vegan hampers, vegetarian gifts and more. Click on the gluten free hamper link and you’ll see all gluten free food hampers for gift delivery.

 

If you don’t need an exclusively gluten free hamper but you’d prefer some items within a food and drink hamper to be gluten free, you can continue exploring this section. 

 

Many of the items within our food and drink hampers are gluten free. If you click on a food product in a food hamper’s content list you can view the ingredients.

 

And if you’d like help and advice on which food items are gluten free, we welcome you to get in touch today.

Are the hampers by post suitable as get well gifts?

Yes sending a hamper by post as a get well soon gift is a very popular gift idea with our customers.

 

Our food and drink hampers are designed to indulge loved ones whilst reflecting your care and consideration. This makes them the best gift ideas for get well soon gifts.

 

A carefully hand-packed food hamper full of Great Taste Award-winning produce, that’s beautifully presented with your personal message is a thoughtful way to show a loved one you’re thinking of them. As it’s likely they’ll be resting at home, sending them high quality comforts will help raise their spirits.

 

Popular get well soon hampers include our afternoon tea hampers and traditional hampers. Rather than containing celebratory produce like Champagne, they contain indulgent treats such as handmade cake, buttery biscuits and meticulously blended tea.
