How to Choose a Gift Hamper
Gift hampers are one of the most popular gift choices for anyone at any time of the year, and gourmet food gifts remain at the top of everyone’s list of most enjoyed Christmas goodies. Gourmet food hampers can include specialty sauces and jams, sweet treats, chocolates, nuts, baked goods, wine, cheese, crackers – the list is endless! One thing is for sure: we all love a good food gift hamper.
With so much choice around, how do you decide which gift hamper is best for you? Here are a few things to consider:
Environment
Many gift hampers are made with large amounts of cellophane and non-recyclable packing materials to create the illusion of bulk; not to mention the over-packaging of the individual products themselves. Look for gift hampers that are made with mostly recyclable or reusable materials and have been packed and presented with minimal waste and fuss.
Quality vs Fillers
When we give a gift hamper to someone, we want it to have impact. We often end up choosing hampers that have lots of products, are large in size, and are heavily decorated with ribbons, tags, ornaments and other embellishments. These hampers certainly make a great first impression but consider your recipient’s experience as they struggle to unwrap the hamper and discover just one or two choice treats amongst the many fillers. Look for gift hampers that are filled with quality products that your recipients will enjoy and remember long after the packaging has been thrown out. Give the gift of quality over quantity.
Size & Delivery
If you’re planning to buy a few gift hampers at once for staff, teachers, friends and family, consider how you will transport them. Gift hampers and gift baskets that are wrapped in cellophane are often very difficult and awkward to store and move. Look for neat gift hamper boxes that you can stack and move around easily as you go about your gift giving. Remember that the ‘bells and whistles’ don’t necessarily need to feature heavily on the outside if the gift within is a gift of quality.
