There’s something about the gift of a hamper that feels extra special, particularly when it comes housed in a Harrods wicker gift basket. Gift hampers are made for birthdays, the ‘big news’ and the all-out banquets of the year, when one can explore the trove of treats from our Food Halls and share them with those nearest and dearest. Whether you’re after hampers for men, gift hampers for her or even a family hamper that all ages can enjoy, our offerings are bound to delight. A chocolate hamper or sweet-filled selection appeals to almost everyone, while a luxury food hamper complete with wines and Champagnes is the perfect choice for the gastronome of the group. Or, if it’s a simple act of appreciation that’s required, there’s nothing like showing your gratitude with a thank you hamper – we’ve compiled both large and small hampers, suitable for delivery the world over, allowing you to show the deserving recipient just how much you care.
The beauty of a hamper is that you can fill it exactly how you wish. A luxury hamper might contain delectable edibles and vintage bottles of alcohol or perhaps sumptuous accessories and indulgent skincare – it’s all dependent on the lucky recipient and their passions, pastimes and penchants.
When it comes to picking out a gift hamper for your loved one, there are a number of things to consider. Price is, of course, a consideration, but so is suitability. Is the hamper marking the occasion of a new arrival? In which case, a baby hamper is a thoughtful idea. Or, if it’s a marriage you’re celebrating, a wedding hamper is sure to be cherished. As for the festive season, there’s nothing like opening up a Christmas hamper come the big day.
Every Harrods hamper comes housed in a beautifully woven wicker basket, complete with the Harrods ‘H’ printed to the top. Once the contents of a hamper have been devoured, decanted or delighted in, the recipient can make use of the basket around their home.
Hampers are the ideal present for any occasion, with their contents catering to all ages, interests and budgets. Whether it’s a seasonal time of year such as Valentine’s Day or Christmas, perhaps you’re celebrating a birthday, or want to truly treat someone special, they are, quite simply, a can’t-go-wrong kind of gift.
The main difference between a hamper and gift basket is the packaging – a hamper is presented in a woven basket with a lid, whereas a gift basket is open and perhaps covered only with tissue paper.
There are as many food hampers as there are culinary tastes and cuisines, meaning you won’t be restricted when it comes to picking out the perfect one. From chocolate hampers, cheese hampers and vegan hampers to wine hampers, champagne hampers and alcohol-free hampers, there really is something for everyone.
