Is it cheaper to make a food hamper or buy one?
Ordering a hamper online from a specialised hamper company is often cheaper than making one yourself. Our gourmet gift hampers are designed in a way that the gift box is packed full of gourmet treats so that nothing moves in shipping, and each product perfectly complements the others. Pre-made hampers often benefit from bulk discounts that suppliers offer to businesses, and the cost of these can be lower than if you were to buy each item individually.

When sending a gift hamper, it's essential to consider the preferences and lifestyle of the recipient. Make sure the items included are suitable for them and fit the occasion. Including a personal note or message with the hamper is also a great idea.

Choosing the right gift hamper involves considering the occasion, the recipient's tastes and preferences, and your budget. Look for a hamper that has a good selection of items that you know the recipient will enjoy, and that is presented beautifully.

Can I send a gift hamper anonymously?
Yes, you can send a gift hamper anonymously. However, it's a good idea to let the recipient know that a surprise is on the way, to ensure they're home to receive it. You can choose to keep your identity a secret in the card or note included with the hamper.

How far in advance should I order a gift hamper?
If you're ordering a gift hamper online, ordering at least a week in advance is best to account for delivery times. During busy periods like Christmas, ordering even further in advance is advisable.

How do I choose a hamper for a corporate gift?
When choosing a hamper for a corporate gift, consider the message you want to convey and the recipient's tastes. A hamper with a selection of high-quality gourmet items is often a safe choice. Ensure the presentation is professional, and includes a message of appreciation.
