We’re a little embarrassed to say it, but at Dunelm, we have got ourselves a bit of a reputation for putting excellent Christmas gift hampers together. In the run-up to November, our in-store sales assistants get used to being asked when they’re coming in stock, such is the clamour to get hold of one. And we’re meant to just sell spoons, towels and wardrobes!

When you look at the contents, it’s no wonder why. All the Christmas treats are there to see, with a selection of tastes for every palate. Things like shortbread biscuits, which have become a yuletide essential all over the UK, play a part in most of our hampers. You’ll also be spoilt for choice when it comes to artisan jams, curds, marmalades and chutneys – and of course the delicious cheese biscuits and crackers to enjoy them with.
Those with an even sweeter tooth will appreciate the mouth-watering fudges and chocolates that will be a challenge to leave unopened beyond Boxing Day, not to mention the amazing Christmas cakes, puddings and buttery mince pies that are just begging to be sampled.
Alcohol hampers: wines, spirits and beers
If you know someone who likes a drink, there’s a choice of hamper for them, too. We’ve got hampers containing award-winning red, white, rosé and sparkling wines, a perfect accompaniment for a meal or a night in front of the TV. If they like spirits, have a look at ours – we’ve got flavoured and traditional gins, vodkas, whiskeys and rums, as well as more unusual liqueurs with exotic flavours to sample. And of course, there are the beer-lovers in your circle of friends and relatives. Get them a hamper of craft ales, imported beers or everyday favourites and they’ll be perfectly happy.
Mixed hampers
A popular choice is a hamper that contains a blend of food and drinks. Expect sweet and savoury treats, preserves, nuts, biscuits and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and mixers to satisfy someone’s tastes. It’s all so very Christmassy that it will make a great gift, and is particularly appreciated by families, couples and house-sharing friends.
Make your own hamper
Don’t forget, we also sell empty hamper baskets with some packaging straw, so you’re free to custom design a hamper that you are 100% sure the recipient will love. Fill it with a few of their favourite things and watch their face light up when they open it up. It’s a winner.
All beautifully presented
Food and drink are great gifts, but giving them in one of these delightful hampers is a real statement – this is a Christmas present for someone special. And when you can order online, why not put one in your basket for that special food-lover in your life?
