Homemade Christmas Hamper Ideas

Hampers are said to be one of the most thoughtful gifts that a loved one can receive and we can certainly see why, who wouldn’t want to receive a basket full of their favourite things? The best thing about hampers of course is that you can tailor a unique gift specifically to them, which will make the recipient feel particularly loved at Christmas.

This year, treat a loved one to a homemade Christmas hamper! We know that sometimes pre-made hampers can be a little pricey, so by creating your own, you can make the gift as in-expensive or as indulgent as you like! Once you’ve filled the basket with all their favourite things, you can also add extras inside, which pre-made hampers don’t come with. Tip from us: special notes and chocolate coins make for such a lovely, personal Christmas touch. Not only are hampers thoughtful, they are also incredibly useful, as the baskets can be used as fantastic storage solutions afterwards.

First of all, you’ll need a stylish wicker hamper basket, then write down a list of all their favourite things to fill it with it.

Now what to fill it with? Fudge, a bottle of bubbly or perhaps a selection of cheeses. Or why not all three?
