What is a hamper?

Food hampers are a much-loved tradition that can be traced back to the 11th century. It’s said William the Conqueror introduced gift hampers UK, initially as a charitable donation. The offerings were loaded with food and drink, as well as basic clothing, to help vulnerable and struggling families with produce that could be enjoyed over a number of weeks. And so the tradition was born. Today, there’s everyday hampers for all kinds of special occasions, most famously given from Royal quarters, specifically Christmas hampers during the festive season. A hamper can take many forms, but tends to include a selection of luxurious, decadent or popular foods that can be enjoyed over weeks and months. As such, it is a very popular gift for any special occasion, especially; wedding gifts, anniversary gifts, birthday gifts and of course for Christmas.

What makes a good hamper?

The art of making a good gift hamper, is all about presentation and substance. This means using a good quality hamper, or wicker basket, and filling it with much-loved goodies and treats. Many food hampers today are specialised, for instance they might be cheese and wine packages, or delicious chocolate hampers. There’s also plenty of mixed food hampers for all your favourites put together. Although you can make your own hamper, there’s nothing quite like an indulgent gift hamper professionally curated and hand delivered. At Prestige, we have a host of everyday hampers to suit all tastes, budgets and special occasions.

What different hampers are there?

There’s an everyday hamper for any special occasion. For instance, foodies that love the finer things in life will appreciate our Cheese & Wine Slate food hamper.

What’s in a Christmas hamper?

Christmas hampers are one of the most popular gifts for the festive season. They include all kinds of delightful treats for all the family to enjoy. These tend to be well-stocked food hampers with Christmas puddings, brandy butter, cheese, biscuits, special tea blends and many other goodies included. More recently, cheese and wine hampers have become popularised at this time of year too.
