There’s a Christmas hamper for everyone
Take time to consider the hamper themes alongside your budget so you can find the perfect present for everyone on your Christmas list. From hampers for cheese lovers to vegan hampers to indulgent hampers for that special person in your life, there’s plenty of choice.
There are also hampers for hosting; alcohol-free hampers; and hampers packed with goodies for sharing at impromptu gatherings. Our hampers come in all shapes and sizes, from letterbox-sized gifts to grand wicker baskets filled with goodies to crack open.

Best Christmas hamper for cheese lovers
For that person in your life who always chooses the cheeseboard over a sweet dessert, this is the best Christmas hamper for them. We’ve selected a variety of cheeses to bring balance to any board, from multi-award-winning creamy Kidderton Ash Goat’s Cheese to a semi-soft, nutty Comté Reserve to a Cornish Cruncher™ cheddar, so mature it’s studded with natural crystals for slight crunch. Not forgetting Cropwell Bishop Creamery Blue Stilton®, vintage red Leicester and velvety Brie de Meaux, paired with a selection of cheese biscuits (hello, rye sourdough crackers), juicy medjool dates and Collection British Ale and Onion Chutney. Set them up for a cheese feast they won’t forget.

Best Christmas hamper for your fancy friend
For that friend who loves the finer things in life, this M&S Collection Christmas Hamper is the one. This ultimate festive treat contains indulgent Dark Chocolate and Ginger Florentines, a bottle of smooth and easy-drinking Bordeaux Merlot, a perfectly matured, all-butter Christmas fruit cake, laced with brandy, as well as Cranberry and Orange Panettone, made from a generations-old family recipe from Italy. Throw in some extra-mature, all-butter Cornish Cruncher Biscuits, and you’ve got an elevated gift, made using the finest ingredients.
