When I needed to do this I wandered in to my local deli. They put everything in to a cardboard box but everything was nicely wrapped and I was able to tailor the contents for the receiver.

The value for money was through the roof compared to off the web and ended up with better products. You also get to support a local business.

Surely you should be sending Imperial Hampers to them and me, for bringing it to your attention?

Maybe I get the name bit but the hamper I put together was better quality and more personal than something off the shelf.

I guess it depends if you are looking to impress or reward the recipient.

90% of the cost of that is the wine and Champagne

Fortnum's is a safe bet, good quality products, alternatively John Lewis do a range of hampers to suit all budgets

I was looking at Costco's hampers in their store the other day, looked pretty nice. You can order them online even if not a member http://www.costco.co.uk/view/search?sort=score&amp...

The "Majestic" hamper at £199 looks good, champagne, cognac, port, wine, decent nibbles and the hamper is kitted out for future use for picnics with porcelain plates and cutlery.

Similar request - sorry for the attempt at hijacking. Last few years we've bought the grandmas christmas gifts from Betty's tearoom (you know, cakes, teabags, biscuits, scones etc) and looking for a bit of a change.

Seen this:

Anybody any suggestions please?

F&M's tea and biscuit selections are really rather lovely. I used to buy them regularly for the nan-in-law and they always went down a treat.
