To some jolly people, a Christmas hamper is as integral to Christmas celebrations as the tree or turkey. Presents are nice, but there’s so much more holiday cheer in a wicker basket filled with Christmas treats tied up with a thick organza ribbon.
Something about receiving food gifts never ceases to lift spirits anytime they’re presented. Our modern lives are filled with an abundance of food that is easier to come by - relative to our ancestors of course.
All meals were prepared painstakingly, often with food that each family grew on their own farms. Foodstuffs took effort to produce, and often giving or receiving them as gifts was no small matter. The willingness to share your produce with another family conveyed the most genuine feelings of care.
Both Aristocrats and the working class often showed consideration for each other by sharing special foods and wine they bought or made. To this day, even when food has become more abundant in the world overall, receiving a food gift sparks a special kind of joy.
During Christmas, we can observe the tradition of gifting gourmet hampers still living on. Becoming a mainstay in Christmas culture from Victorian times, the luxurious food hamper filled with rich and rare food and wine Christmas Hamper is as much a staple of the holidays as decorations and eggnog.
The Christmas Hamper’s principal form is the gourmet hamper. Beginning humbly, it has grown to become a sign of elegance. Although hamper contents have begun to look unique – and sometimes even bizarre – Christmas hampers still mainly constitute Christmas treats and more Christmas treats.
In the spirit of tradition, our Christmas Hampers at Hampers Galore provide lovers of the season with a great variety of choices for the beloved hamper. And we don’t stop here, our professionals will take care of the entire process of gifting the ideal Christmas hamper, from crafting one to its delivery.
The Joy of Sharing Good Food for The Holidays
When you’re having your favourite people over for Christmas Dinner after an entire year, you’re not going to have them eat the usual bread and butter. It’s time to make an effort to let your family know they are special. Christmas calls for your best recipes and good wine.
Even if you can’t meet them in person, you’re not going to shy away from sending them a hamper full of special treats. Most people would begin baking and making wines for the season months before Christmas just for this.
Most importantly, these gifts are a spark for long overdue phone calls and catching up.
Good food is for family. Wherever there’s good food, there’s loved ones around.

What’s a Christmas Hamper Made of?
Christmas hampers are warm and comforting to receive. There are several staples to them though. Must-have items that just don’t make a hamper Christmassy enough if they aren’t there.
Chocolates: Who would keep this delightful aphrodisiac out of Christmas? Or any other celebration really. No other food defines luxury as much as Chocolates do from the time they melt at the first bite.
Cheese: Maybe it’s the French origins of Christmas hampers. Or possibly how awfully addicting cheese can be. But this substantial dairy product is a staple for Christmas snack times as much as sugar cookies. But our best guess is that cheese lasts a good while – and they’re delicious!
Wines: Anyone knows Christmases are empty without a full glass of wine. In Western Europe, Christmases could be brutally cold. A crackling fireplace and fatty foods need the extra boost from some good wine to keep that frost far away.
At Hampers Galore, we make it a point to load our hampers with all Christmas staples, but in their best varieties. Premium chocolates, cheeses, and crisp wines line our Christmas hampers brimming with even more snacks to speak the holiday goodness we bring at Hamper’s Galore.
