The Best Luxury Hampers for Christmas Gifting
Words by Bridie Newman
Even the trickiest names on your list will light up at a Harrods hamper.
It’s no secret that the perfect Christmas starts with an abundant spread of gourmet food. That’s why our hampers make such thoughtful gifts – each one brimming with treasures from our world-famous Food Halls. Expect gourmet seasonal pantry must-haves, delectable Belgian chocolates, specially selected wines and Champagne, and more.
For the loved one who swears they don’t need a thing, our festive bestselling hampers are a guaranteed delight. Step into the role of foodie Father Christmas with a family Christmas hamper or indulge the sweet-toothed with our confectionary and chocolate hampers. Wine lovers are equally easy to please thanks to our expertly curated wine hampers – no oenology required. And remember, hampers aren’t only for Christmas; we’ve got hampers for every occasion, from birthdays to engagement celebrations and beyond.
Bestselling Hampers
Not sure where to begin? Our bestsellers are beloved for good reason, filled with Yuletide classics that carry lucky recipients through the season. Among the highlights: our Classic Panettone – baked in a family-run Venetian bakery, light and airy with candied orange, citrus peel, sultanas and Madagascan vanilla – and our Spiced Salted Caramel Biscuits, rich, buttery and infused with warming cinnamon and ginger. Each one makes a welcome gift in own right.
Family Christmas Hampers
Gathering loved ones for a feast is what the season is all about – and our hampers make it easy for every host. Inside, you’ll find everything from our Spiced Tea Blend – a fan-favourite since 2010, brimming with cinnamon, cardamon, ginger, orange peel, cloves and vanilla – to the decadent Hot Chocolate Trio, featuring classic, gingerbread and sea-salted caramel flavours. Add whipped cream and it’s ready for cosy winter film nights. Fussy eaters among the family? We’ve yet to meet anyone who can resist our clotted cream fudge.
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 do our Smoked Salted Caramel Truffles – melt-in-the-mouth chocolates topped with smoked Halen Môn salt for added depth. A bestseller year-round, our White Chocolate Strawberries are freeze-dried to preserve their crisp sweetness and offers a taste of the Chocolate Hall itself. Tempted yet? See our full guide to chocolate gifts for more inspiration.
Wine Hampers
Wine lover, party host or that hard-to-buy-for friend – gift them everything they need to raise a celebratory toast with a wine and spirits hamper. The Harrods Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vintage 2013 Champagne – enhanced with partial ageing in oak – has a toasted aroma with a crisp, clean finish, while our Harrods New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2022 brings bright notes of passion fruit, lemon and ripe grapefruit. With any luck, the recipient will uncork a bottle while you’re there to enjoy it too.
Hampers for Every Occasion
A hamper makes the perfect gift, whatever the season. After all, nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like a basket brimming with gourmet food. Think picnics in summer, family feasts in winter and everything in between. From baby showers and weddings to birthdays, our collection has every moment covered, including hampers to say congratulations, alcohol-free hampers and more.
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.
