Homemade Christmas food hamper ideas

1. Choose your theme

Tailor the contents of your hamper to the food they love best – maybe it’s a wedge of their favourite cheese, that viral treat they’ve been desperate to try, or a small-batch, single-origin coffee and a new mug.

2. Choose a hamper

This could be a wicker basket, gift box or bag.

3. Make it personal

Add a handwritten note, a funny message, a photo, or a home-baked treat to make the hamper feel like their own.

• For cheese lovers: our exclusive 3-year-aged Stilton, British sourdough crackers, vintage port and a jar of Festive Chutney.

• For cocktail geeks: a trio of mini The Marksologist cocktail cans, Bloody Mary Chutney, and Magic and Sparkle Edible Gold Dust to finish their creations.

• For pistachio obsessives: a jar of Italian Pistachio Crème, our handcrafted Pistachio Gnomes and Pistachio and Shortbread Crunchy Clouds.

• For trendsetters: our most viral Christmas treats, like Peppermint Bark Cookies, Peanut Butter and Jelly Munch and PB&J Spread.

Cocktails

Choose our mini The Marksologist trio of bar-quality pre-made cocktails, or a bottle of ready-to-pour Seville Orange Gin Cocktail with Canadian maple syrup and VS Cognac.

Chocolate

From our charming Swiss Santa Dispenser and moreish Maple Caramel Whips to our Swiss Truffles Tree Decoration, our Foodhall is full of beautifully packaged, top-quality chocolate treats to pop in their hamper.

Mince pies

Pick up some of our exclusive-recipe all-butter Collection Mince Pies, made with Wildfarmed flour and a hint of black pepper in the filling.

Cheese and crackers

A wedge of 3-year-aged Stilton, creamy Vacherin Mont D’Or, or vintage Comté will go down a treat with British sourdough crackers.

Wine

Treat them to a bottle of something special – our Collection Saint Emilion Christian Moueix is a refined red made by the esteemed Moueix family in Bordeaux, with notes of ripe plum, and comes in a giftable box.

Biscuits

A keepsake Christmas biscuit tin, like our Kelly Hoppen All Butter Cornish Cruncher Cheese Selection, Festive Magic Projector Tin or Santa Jack-in-the-Box Musical Tin, will go down a treat.

Chutneys and preserves

Pop in a jar of Blood Orange Marmalade or Sticky Fig and Hot Honey Chutney. If you’re including cheese, some Apricot and Sauternes Fruit for Cheese is a must.
