Lose the gift card – let hampers help you out this Christmas
Christmas – a season of merriment and joy for some, sheer panic for others. The primary cause of this panic? Gifting. Specifically, gifting for those hard-to-buy-for types. What do you buy for the dad who has everything? How do you please the mother-in-law with impossibly high standards and an unhealthy attachment to her shih tzu? Some people are near impossible to shop for and, unlike crop circles and bigfoot, there aren’t any Reddit threads devoted to solving these mysteries. Here’s where The Hamper Emporium steps in.
So you don’t have to, The Hamper Emporium has put together an impressive selection of Christmas hampers fit for all of your festive-season gifting. Think drinks, artisan nibbles and even Swarovski jewellery thoughtfully curated into beautiful bundles that will put a smile on your mum/nan/co-worker’s face. It’s a win-win situation – with the gift and the wrapping sorted, you can spend the celebratory season actually celebrating (not fending off the masses at your local shopping centre). We’ve hand selected a few of The Hamper Emporium’s Christmas collection to make your shopping even easier.
For the foodie
What’s better than a gift? An edible gift. Food-focused hampers are the go-to present for the taste-makers in your life. For the dad who moonlights as an amateur chef or the partner with a five-star restaurant standard, we suggest The Ultimate Christmas Foodies Hamper or the ‘Entertainer’ Gourmet Hamper. Cranberry and pistachio crispbread – tick. Tasmanian black truffle paste – tick. The gift for your pal with a superior palate – tick.
For the drink connoisseur
While some of us need a few stiff drinks to make it through Christmas with the family, others spend weeks curating the perfect drinks menu for the big day. To delight the brother with the fully stocked at-home bar or the aunt who loves her nightly scotch and soda, look to the Microbreweries of Australia Hamper or the Luxury Hennessy Hamper. Christmas gifts sorted with less stress? We’ll drink to that.
For the acquaintance
Unsure of your relationship status? Not sure how much is too much? The Christmas Mini Delight Hamper is the risk-free option you’re looking for. This bundle comes with all the benefits of a standard hamper (delicious artisan treats) in a subtly sized package. It’s also the most budget friendly of the bunch, so you can’t really go wrong.
