Christmas Present Ideas Using Hampers



By Bronwen Pollard


In these times of economic crises, we are all looking for a way to cut the cost of our Christmas present ideas, whilst still not losing the magic of Christmas by limiting the number of presents for our family. Some people think that when you think about cutting costs at Christmas, that you take away the fun and sparkle of a present by thinking that if a present is on a budget then it wont be nice.

This is not true and I think if this crises is going to teach us anything, then it will be how to make good of what we have instead of spending lots of money on something that could be achieved with a little thought. For example, whether you are on a budget or not, a great Christmas present idea is a Christmas hamper delivery.

When thinking of Christmas present ideas, people think of as hamper as food based. But these days, almost anything can be used to create a unique and thoughtful gift. If you have a chocolate lover on your Christmas present list, then why not make a hamper themed around chocolate.

High Street retailers have many amazing chocolates that can be used, for example Thorntons have boxes of mixed chocolates, or boxes with just certain types in , like milk chocolate. You can also consider the person who loves chocolate if you go on holiday and buy them some chocolate from that Country to add a international twist to the hamper. A hamper filled with chocolate would actually be my idea of heaven!

Consider making a hamper just for the man in your life. Christmas gifts ideas for men are always trickily as they never really say what they want, but if you consider making them a hamper filled with items from their favourite sport you can't go wrong!

The same goes for Christmas present ideas for the women in your life. What women would want a hamper filled with delightful things such as perfumes and lotions, or perhaps fancy items for the kitchen from Le Creuset for example. Or a hamper filled with books from their favourite author or topic. I personally think that Christmas present ideas for women are endless and because of that, you could make a mixed hamper with a little bit of everything she likes.

A stocking filler or a gift for children or babies can also be achieved by a hamper. As Christmas present ideas for children can be so daunting, then filling a hamper (it can be a small hamper so as not to break the bank!) full of their favourite toys or videos can be very effective and exciting for them to open.


So, if you are stuck for Christmas present ideas for someone, perhaps consider something as versatile as a Christmas hamper.
