The Best Luxury Hampers for Stress-Free Gifting
Words by Bridie Newman
For those hard to buy for people in our lives, it’s got to be a Harrods hamper.
What's your favourite food from the Food Halls? Can't decide? Imagine them all, neatly packaged into a generously filled hamper. Our iconic wicker treasure troves are thoughtfully curated to deliver a symphony of flavours, from handmade, seasonal condiments and irresistibly smooth Belgian chocolates to specially selected wines and bubbly. Every item is destined to become a pantry essential.
These expertly crafted hampers also make extraordinary gifts. After all, every celebration should start with a choice (read: an abundance) of gourmet delights. For the person who insists they need nothing, explore our Hampers for Every Occasion. Treat the sweet-toothed among us (yes, grandma included) to our Confectionery and Chocolate Hampers. Or, for a seamless way to upgrade a wine lover’s collection without brushing up on your oenology, choose one of our exquisite Wine Hampers.
Bestselling Hampers for Every Occasion
A hamper makes the perfect gift all year round. Let’s face it – nothing says ‘I love you’ like a basket full of gourmet food. Think picnics in the summer, family feasts in the winter and everything in between. Baby showers, weddings, birthdays – we have every moment covered, as well as hampers to say congratulations, alcohol-free hampers and more.
Confectionary and Chocolate Hampers
If they have a penchant for cosy, decadently sugary delights, a premium chocolate or sweets hamper will always go down a treat. Our iconic Gold Bar, smooth Belgian milk chocolate enriched with chunks of chewy almond nougat, never fails to please, nor does our West Country clotted cream fudge. Is your stomach rumbling yet?
The crunch of the hand-roasted almonds, the creaminess of the thick chocolate-hazelnut praline coating – it’s no surprise our Praline Almonds are a bestseller all year round.
The Best Gifts for Serious Chocolate Lovers
Not all chocolate gifts are created equal. Discover our most indulgent and luxurious creations to impress the cocoa connoisseur in your life.
Wine Hampers
Wine lover, party host or that hard-to-buy-for friend – give them everything they need to raise a toast with a wine and spirits hamper. Here’s to hoping the lucky recipient opens a bottle while you’re visiting.
The Harrods New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2022, produced at Nautilus Estate in Marlborough, has distinct aromas of passionfruit, lemon and ripe grapefruit. The palate introduces fresh and zesty notes with a mouth-watering intensity and a clean, crisp finish.
History of Hampers
Did you know that Harrods has been selling hampers since around 1850? It was during the Victorian era that Christmas hampers became popular presents, with families in particular gifting them to their employees.
Back then, a Harrods hamper offered a choice of turkey, goose, or ham, plus a bottle of port, tea and a pound of butter and tobacco. Not to be sniffed at, but a box of crumbly all-butter mince pies certainly wouldn't go amiss.
