When Christmas comes or even another special occasion like Mother’s Day, an anniversary or birthday, we always find ourselves in search of the best possible gifts.  Hampers make fantastic gifts for a number of reasons.  Not only do they look great but they are also packed full of a variety of top quality items that make the recipient feel pampered and special.  Of course, not everyone is the same and the intended recipient might have some medical concerns that prevent you from buying any ordinary hamper.
 
A common condition that many people suffer from is diabetes.  Regardless of the type of diabetes they suffer from, you don’t want to risk aggravating it by sending a chocolate hamper or one filled with sweets.  The good news is that there are special diabetic hamper options available.  These hampers have been carefully put together to accommodate those with diabetes without sacrificing quality.  This kind of gift will give the recipient that feeling of being pampered without worrying about whether they may or may not tuck into the delightful contents.
 
Another common condition is known as Celiac Disease and involves an intolerance for gluten.  Gluten can be found in so many products we ordinarily consume without even giving it a second thought.  It’s good to know that, like diabetic hampers, there are also gluten free hampers specially put together for those who suffer from Celiac Disease.
 
Another idea for anyone suffering from diabetes or restricted to a gluten free diet is a cosmetic style hamper.  A hamper filled with luxury bath and body products is a great way to spoil the recipient to some relaxing goodies just for them!  Since these are body products, you don’t need to worry about the recipient’s diet limitations and your hamper won’t pose a risk whatsoever.
 
On that note, if you are considering sending a wine hamper, you should note that certain ingredients used to make wine may contain gluten and traces of gluten might be left behind in the wine.  That said, some wine products like Port are believed to be gluten free as a result of the distillation process.  If you are unsure, it is best to check the label and ask the recipient or their loved ones what types of wine, whiskey or other alcoholic beverages they may enjoy.
 
If you wish to send a hamper to somebody you know is watching their weight and you don’t want to upset their weight loss programme, you can opt for a healthy hamper with fruit instead of products high in sugar and carbohydrates.  Cheese and wine hampers can also be a well deserved treat that won’t completely destroy their diet as long as they are enjoyed in moderation.
