Gifts We Love - Gift Box Hampers

Not just for the Christmas season - although undeniably a festive favourite - the hamper is a part of custom with origins dating as far back as the 11th century. A concept first introduced to England by the French, parcelling food and drink together in boxes and baskets while travelling on long journeys or hunting expeditions.

However, it wasn't until much later, when wealthy Victorians started giving hampers at Christmas, mainly to their staff, that the meaningful tradition as we recognise it today really took off.

So let's face it, who doesn't love unwrapping a bundle of luxurious gourmet delights? A hamper is always guaranteed to be much appreciated, and when looking for the perfect present to spoil that special someone, no matter the occasion, what better to give to make their day than with a gift box hamper?

Choose from our expertly curated hamper gift sets with a selection of delectable gifts, including the finest wineschampagneport, artisan chocolates, cheese and more…exclusive combinations only available at Farrar & Tanner, beautifully presented in wooden gift boxes ready to be personalised with your message and delivered directly to the doorstep of your choice. Maximum luxury, minimum fuss.
