Shop Our Luxury Gourmet Hampers

Our luxury gourmet hampers are built around named producers and a bottle worth opening: Chocolatier Belgian chocolate truffles, Borgo de Medici macarons, Kangaroo Island Produce Co honey popcorn and the Valley Produce Company fig and almond fruit pyramid, with G.H. Mumm, Moët & Chandon or Veuve Clicquot champagne in the hampers that carry one.

Every hamper is hand-packed into a premium gift box finished with a gold ribbon, with a free personalised gift card tucked under the bow. Orders placed before midday on a weekday are dispatched the same day from our Corio, VIC warehouse, tracked with Australia Post. Free shipping applies to any hamper over $100.

The Christmas band, and what actually separates these hampers

The luxury collection below runs from $229.95 to $299.95, and $299.95 is the ceiling of that featured selection. What changes as the price climbs is not the number of items. It is the bottle. At this end the real choice is between G.H. Mumm at $199.95, Moët & Chandon at $229.95 and Veuve Clicquot at $249.95, with a whisky hamper at $269.95 for the recipient who does not drink sparkling. Enjoy responsibly.

One practical point at this price. Free shipping applies to any hamper over $100, so every hamper in this band clears that threshold several times over and ships free Australia-wide. There is no premium freight charge waiting at checkout. Choose the bottle first and the box follows.

What is inside our luxury hampers

• Producers you can name. Kangaroo Island Produce Co, Chocolatier, Valley Produce Company, Hunter's Gourmet, Borgo de Medici, Buttermilk, Mr Filbert's. Each is listed on the product page, so you can see what the recipient will actually unwrap.
• Full-sized bottles. Where a luxury hamper includes alcohol, the house or estate is named on the listing: G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge, Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Shiraz.
• Presentation that survives the trip. A rigid premium box, a gold ribbon tied by hand, and an insulated shipper carton around it so the chocolate does not arrive soft.
• A message that is actually personal. A free personalised gift card carrying your words, slipped under the bow so it is the first thing they read.

Choosing a luxury hamper

A large hamper is not automatically the right one. Match the box to the occasion instead.

• A milestone or a celebration. Go to the champagne hampers, where the bottle carries the gift.
• A significant thank-you. A wine hamper with Château Tanunda or Bay of Stones and a savoury board of olives, tapenade and truffle chips.
• An anniversary. Chocolate-led, with truffles, macarons and caramel sea salt fudge. See the anniversary hampers.
• A client or a board member. Something that reads well on a desk and does not assume they drink.

The Ottolenghi gift sets

If you want a premium gift with no alcohol in it, this is the strongest option on the site. We are the exclusive Australian distributor for Ottolenghi, so the ingredients sit here rather than being brought in by a third party, and three boxed sets pair that pantry range with the presentation above: the Grater & Pantry Gift Set at $99.95, and the COMFORT Book, Grater & Pantry set and SIMPLE Book, Grater & Pantry set at $199.95 each. They suit the recipient who cooks, and they hold their own as a corporate gift where a bottle would be the wrong call. Browse the full Ottolenghi range or the Ottolenghi hampers collection.

The personalised gift card

On an expensive gift the card is what stops it reading as a transaction. Name the reason. "For the settlement, finally" or "for the three weekends you gave up in June" does more than "best wishes" attached to a bottle of Veuve. Keep it to two lines, sign it the way the recipient knows you, and if the hamper is going to a workplace, remember it may be read out. Your message is printed on the personalised gift card and sits under the ribbon, so it is read before a single item is lifted out.

Sending a luxury hamper

Orders placed before midday on a weekday are dispatched the same day from our Corio, VIC warehouse, tracked with Australia Post. Shipping is free once a hamper is over $100, and the test is applied to each hamper on its own rather than to an order total, because each one leaves as a separate parcel. If you are sending to a list, the checkout will ship a single order to multiple addresses. For gifting at volume, corporate hampers handles the same range across a staff or client list.

Luxury hamper questions

What is the difference between a luxury hamper and a standard one?

Weight of the named producers and the presence of a named bottle, more than the number of items. A luxury hamper leans on champagne, chocolate and one or two showpiece items rather than filling space.

How does the gift card work on a premium hamper?

You write the message at checkout and it is personalised onto a gift card that sits under the bow inside the box, so it is clean, legible and the first thing read when the lid comes off. There is no charge for it at any price point.

Will chocolate survive an Australian summer?

Most hampers ship inside an insulated shipper box for exactly this reason. In a serious heatwave, or when nobody will be home to bring the parcel in, a workplace address is the safer choice.

Can I see what is in the box before I buy?

Yes. Every producer and item is listed on the individual hamper page, which is the check worth doing on an expensive gift: read the contents list, not the adjectives, and count how many of the names you recognise.
