Shopping for the perfect Christmas gift for one person can be tricky enough – nevermind shopping for an entire family! In the past, it was quite common to shop for individual gifts. These days, given financial pressures and time constraints, shopping for family gifts is fast becoming the norm.
Gift hampers make excellent presents for individuals, couples, and families alike. Hampers are available in various sizes and at different price which allows the buyer to choose how much to spend. It’s a great gift option if you are on a particularly tight budget and want to avoid being completely strapped for cash over the holidays.
Food hampers and picnic baskets filled with goodies are great for families. They will usually include at least one bottle of wine or bubbly for mum and dad as well as various foods and snacks for the kids.
Sweet hampers and chocolate hampers are also great for families to share. These hampers include a variety of sweet treats and they are a wonderful non-alcoholic option. When shopping for these types of hampers, take note of the contents as well as the quantity of each item in order to determine whether or not it’s a good deal.
Fruit hampers can also be enjoyed by the whole family and even a baby can get a taste if mum doesn’t mind making a homemade puree. During the colder months of the year, fresh fruit is a great natural defense against seasonal germs.
If you want to spoil a couple, then a cheese and wine hamper or champagne hamper will always be well-received. Some hampers include cheese accessories, wine accessories, luxury chocolates, or even a pair of flute glasses.
Finally, if you are worried about baby feeling left out, you could always ask your hamper vendor to include something or you could order a baby hamper to accompany the main family gift hamper. Another option is to have the hamper delivered to you and you can add a suitable toy or other item for baby before making the hamper delivery in person.
