Our 2021 Christmas gift hamper range is now available to order for delivery next day or on a date of your choice closer to Christmas day.

What do we put in our Christmas Food Hampers?

We're very lucky here at The British Hamper Company – we've spent much of the year speaking with small artisan producers and sampling their specialist produce in order to design our latest range of British Christmas Hampers. The food and drink we eventually select has all passed our own taste tests and every product chosen has been compared against numerous similar products before it makes the cut and gets included.

Much of the produce sourced for our festive season hampers has won Great Taste Awards from The Guild of Fine Food and we take great pride in knowing the quality and provenance of the individual items within our hampers.

This new range of traditional Christmas hampers contains a variety of sweet and savoury festive items which include;

• Our favourite Christmas Pudding from Cole's Puddings who are based in Essex and have been making their puddings to a traditional recipe since 1939.

• Delicious festively Spiced Biscuits from award winning Devonshire baker Teoni's Cookies

• Luxury Iced Christmas Cake baked by The Simply Delicious Cake Co. in the south Shropshire hills

• Sweet and fruity Cranberry Sauce from multi Great Taste award winner Lake District based Hawkshead Relish

Our Christmas Food Hampers are designed to fit a variety of budgets with the same quality of produce found in the hampers of lower budgets to those at higher budgets. A higher budget is great for family Christmas gifting as it allows for a larger number of products within each hamper whereas our smaller Christmas gift hampers are more suited to individuals and couples.

You can view a full contents list for each hamper by pressing ‘What's included' tab when you're viewing each individual hamper. This will also show you any dietary information if you require a dietary specific Christmas gift.

Presentation of our Christmas Food Hampers

When you're gifting a luxury Christmas hamper presentation is such an important factor. You want to ensure your recipient is going to delight in opening the hamper and take their time exploring through the layers of goodies that await.

Our hampers are either presented in traditional wicker or within our bespoke British icon themed gift boxes.

Wicker baskets give your Christmas gift a traditional look and your recipient will love unstrapping the buckles and lifting the lid. The basket will get plenty of use afterwards for picnics or home storage.

Our bespoke British icon gift boxes are made from strong card and offer a contemporary and more cost effective alternative to traditional wicker. We hand tie our lidded boxes in navy blue grosgrain ribbon and we find lots of people love to reuse the box afterwards for home storage.

When we pack your Christmas Food Hamper we will place heavier items, such as jars and bottles, towards the bottom and will layer the products upwards through the hamper using decorative shredded paper so that your recipient can enjoy revealing new products.

Every hamper is sent with a gift card, the message to which you can let us have at checkout when you're entering the delivery address details.

Frequently Asked Questions for Christmas Hampers

If I order now will the food still be in date for Christmas?

It will depend upon which hamper you are ordering and when you require delivery.

If you require delivery in November we recommend you look at the product description of the hamper you are interested in as the earliest best before date will be displayed at the bottom of the product description. If there is no earliest best before date displayed then it is likely the hamper contains shorter dated products (such as cheese or baked products) which may have a best before date prior to Christmas.

If you require delivery in December all hampers will have best before dates suitable for Christmas. The majority of hampers will have best before dates no earlier than 15^th January, however some fresh hampers (such as those containing cheese) may have earliest best before dates for their fresh items just after Christmas.

If you require further details we are more than happy to help.

If I order now can I request Christmas gift delivery at a later date?

Yes absolutely. We'll schedule your hamper to be dispatched so that it is received on or just prior to the ‘delivered by' date you provide in checkout when you're adding delivery address details.
