Order Christmas Hampers for Adelaide Delivery

Some of it is already South Australian

Worth noting plainly rather than hoping nobody notices. Two of the things we pack most often come from Kangaroo Island: the honey popcorn from Kangaroo Island Produce Co is in the majority of our hampers, and Kangaroo Island olives are in a good number of them. For an Adelaide recipient that is not a drawback. It is a producer they may already rate, arriving in a box they did not have to go out and buy. It does mean that if you are trying to genuinely surprise someone, the surprise needs to come from the rest of the hamper.

What to choose when they already eat well

The components that land hardest with a food-literate recipient are the imported and the specific. Chocolatier Belgian chocolate truffles, Borgo de Medici macarons out of Italy, Hunter's Gourmet black truffle potato chips, and The Regimental Condiment Company tapenade, which is a proper condiment rather than a novelty jar. Valley Produce Company mini artisan crackers and the fig and almond fruit pyramid give them a board to build on, Chocolatier caramelised cashew brittle and Buttermilk caramel sea salt fudge cover the sweet end, and Scottie Dog Shortbread fingers are the one thing everybody eats no matter how serious their pantry is. Our cracker range and condiments are there if you would rather send food on its own.

The wine question, in wine country

Sending wine into South Australia takes a little nerve, and there are two honest ways to do it. Send a Barossa wine and mean it: Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Shiraz appears in some of our food and wine hampers, and there is nothing sheepish about giving an Adelaide host something grown an hour up the road. Or go the other way and send what they would not open on an ordinary Tuesday, which is where the champagne hampers come in with G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge, Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut and Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label. Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc is the middle path. If they do not drink at all, the non-alcoholic hampers stand on their own.

Beyond the metropolitan area

Plenty of Adelaide Christmas lists are not entirely in Adelaide. There is usually somebody in the Hills, somebody down the Fleurieu and somebody who has retired to a town with one general store. Those addresses are worth a moment's thought, because a hamper sitting on a front step in an SA summer is the one avoidable mistake. Send to a workplace where there is one, get the postcode right, and pass on the tracking so the recipient can bring it in the same day it lands.

Getting it across the border

Most hampers travel in a premium box with an insulated shipper inside it, tracked the whole way with Australia Post. Weekday orders placed before 12pm are dispatched that day. On cost, a hamper over $100 ships free, a hamper under $100 attracts a shipping charge, and because each hamper is packed and posted separately they do not pool towards the $100 mark.

Is anything in the hampers made in South Australia?

Yes. Kangaroo Island Produce Co honey popcorn and Kangaroo Island olives are two of our most frequently packed components, and Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Shiraz appears in part of the wine range.

What should I send someone who cooks properly?

Skip the sweets-only boxes and look for a hamper with tapenade, olives, artisan crackers and the fig and almond fruit pyramid in it. Those are ingredients rather than treats, which is a different sort of compliment.

Can I put my own message in the box?

You can. Every hamper includes a free personalised gift card printed with whatever you write at checkout, and it is slipped under the ribbon inside the box, so it is the first thing they see when the lid comes off.

Can I send one hamper to Adelaide and another somewhere else?

Yes, in a single order. The checkout will split one order across several addresses, each with its own message, so an interstate family list does not turn into a stack of separate orders. Browse the full Christmas range to fill out the rest.
