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.

What are some ideas for a vegan gift hamper?

Our Commitment to First Nations Communities & the Tastes of Country Range:

The Gourmet Pantry is exceptionally proud to introduce our newest range, the Tastes of Country – Indigenous Hamper Range. This extraordinary collection of gift hampers is a celebration of Indigenous Australian culture and a showcase of the fantastic gourmet products produced by 100% Aboriginal Owned Businesses across the nation.

The Tastes of Country hamper range provides a unique gastronomic experience, combining the rich, unique flavours of native Australian foods and botanicals. These flavours have been sourced, harvested, and brought to life by the skilled hands of First Nations producers, a testament to the rich, diverse Indigenous cultures spanning Australia's vast landscape.

As a company, The Gourmet Pantry believes that engaging with Indigenous businesses as sovereign entities is crucial. Recognising and respecting the individual, culturally-rooted business practices derived from their knowledge of Country is at the core of our partnerships. Every relationship we forge is unique, grounded in respect for their deep connection with their ancestral lands.

When you select a hamper from our Tastes of Country range, you're not just purchasing a delightful collection of gourmet foods. You're also supporting entrepreneurial Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses who share our commitment to building Indigenous wealth and strengthening the economic foundations of their communities.

With each hamper purchased from the Tastes of Country range, a contribution is made to a Sovereign Wealth Fund. This fund is designed to support Indigenous economic development and ensure a financial return to the communities from which the products have been sourced and created.

A glimpse into the Tastes of Country range reveals an array of delicious offerings, including:

- Uncle Charlie's: Every mouthful of Uncle Charlie’s popcorn is an immersion into the oldest living cultures of collecting bush tucker, storytelling, sustainability and care for the land. Taste the carefully sourced native foods and botanicals and experience trade relationships that have been nurtured for over 80,000 years.

- Mt Yengo Wines: Mt Yengo endeavours to fuse First Nations' values with the innovation and quality of our newest inhabitants. Each bottle carries a message of cultural understanding, diversity and reconciliation, which we hope you will embrace.

- Indigiearth: A wholly Aboriginal-owned business, Indigiearth sources native Australian ingredients from Aboriginal communities across Australia, respecting and preserving Mother Earth through traditional land management practices.

- DreamTime Tuka: The ingredients of DreamTime Tuka snacks have been grown on this land for over 60,000 years. Founded by proud Wiradjuri man, Aboriginal Elder and entrepreneur Herb Smith, the company’s vision is to bring people together through good food and good stories.

- Knowledge Water: Sustainably sourced from a rainforest spring in Mandjawuy, Northern Territory, Knowledge Water is a majority-Indigenous-owned business supporting jobs and education on their homeland.

- The Unexpected Guest: Committed to supporting the Australian Organic Industry, The Unexpected Guest produces a combination of sustainable, organic, wholesome, clean and healthy foods.

- Sobah: Sobah encourages socialising sober with its non-alcoholic craft beer range. This purpose-led business promotes First Nations' culture, arts, language, and history while ethically sourcing its ingredients.

- Beachtree Distilling: Beachtree Distilling combines traditional methods with ethical and sustainable practices to craft world-class spirits, using aromatic native botanicals.

- Mabu Mabu: Mabu Mabu's 'Kara Meta' pantry range, meaning 'my home' in the Meriam People's language, offers hand-made teas, spices, and sauces with Indigenous and tropical flavours.

Furthermore, we are proud to work with Supply Nation, which connects over 3,800 verified Indigenous businesses with more than 600 paid corporate, government, and not-for-profit members across every state and territory.

At The Gourmet Pantry, we deeply understand the integral relationship between people and land, a connection that First Nation peoples have long cultivated, respected, and protected. As we journey forward in our business endeavours, we continually remind ourselves of our place within this ancient and complex system.

It is with great respect and humility that we acknowledge the Wadawurrung language group, the traditional custodians of the land where our office stands. The Wadawurrung people's deep-rooted cultural and spiritual connection to the land, water, and community is an example we aspire to emulate in our business practices and personal interactions.

This land, beneath our feet and stretching out before us, pulsates with stories of ancestral beings, sacred rituals, and a timeless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Embedded in every rock, tree, river, and mountain, these stories have been diligently preserved and passed down through generations by the Wadawurrung Elders. We honour and appreciate their continuous stewardship of this beautiful land.

In this journey of understanding and appreciating Indigenous cultures, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Wadawurrung Elders, past and present, for their wisdom, resilience, and unwavering love for their heritage. We admire the way they have safeguarded the sacred, nurturing the earth, waters, and skies with a gentle yet firm hand, ensuring the vitality of their cultural legacy.

As an organisation, we also extend our respect and recognition to all Indigenous nations across Australia. We acknowledge the diversity of cultures, languages, and histories, each of which has a unique relationship with their Country, an intricate network of fully sustainable ecosystems delicately maintained for tens of thousands of years.

As we consider the visitors to our website, each from a distinct piece of land with its own First Nations custodians, we also acknowledge and honour these traditional owners. We encourage our customers to recognise and appreciate the traditional custodians of the land on which they stand, fostering a more profound connection with the environment and our shared history.

We remember, too, that sovereignty was never ceded. This acknowledgment is more than words; it is a reminder of the ongoing fight for rights, respect, and recognition for Indigenous people. It is a testament to the strength, courage, and resilience of Indigenous communities in defending their lands, cultures, and identities.

The Gourmet Pantry believes in paying tribute through action, too. That's why our Tastes of Country hamper range doesn't just acknowledge; it supports. Through our partnership with Indigenous suppliers, we strive to contribute to their economic development and cultural preservation.

As we celebrate the rich tapestry of Indigenous cultures through our Tastes of Country range, we remember that this always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. We extend our sincere thanks to the Indigenous communities who have carefully and lovingly cared for this Country since time immemorial. Our journey towards a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indigenous cultures and their rich heritage continues, and we invite our customers to join us on this meaningful journey.
