13 Best Christmas Food Hampers To Give (And Receive) This Year

Renowned for its range of luxe hampers, Fortnum & Mason has taken the hassle out of hosting this year with its Family Christmas Hamper.

Meticulous detail has gone into curating this crowd-pleasing selection. From Colombian coffee for morning espressos (… or late-night espresso martinis) to the classic Christmas pud, pickles, preserves and a tempting line-up of wines, we can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t want to unwrap this on 25th.

Get your girls round and pop the cork on a magnum of Rioja – deep red in the glass, this full-bodied wine will pair perfectly with Imp & Maker’s carefully curated selection of cheese and charcuterie.

Our highlights? It’s tough to pick from this impressive line-up, but the tangy Lincolnshire Poacher (paired with a slice of spelt and honey loaf and a dollop of sticky fig relish), buttery gorgonzola dolce, and Belazu’s truffle and pecorino nuts had us coming back for seconds… and thirds.

Biscuiteers has Christmas gifting nailed; reliable delivery, immaculate presentation and downright delicious contents – what’s not to love?

Inside the hand-illustrated box you’ll find a 12 days of Christmas keepsake tin, stocked with gingerbread biscuits, and a bottle of Gusbourne Sparkling Rosé to savour this festive season.

With prep for the big day underway, we’re all for spending as little time in the kitchen as possible, which is exactly why we’re ordering this hamper to tuck into once the final presents are wrapped. There’s a whole host of sweet and savoury to choose from, but – needless to say – we couldn’t get enough of the mince pie chocolate truffles and panettone caramels.

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Harvey Nichs’ gift-ready gourmet hampers year round, but the Winter Wonderland may be our favourite to date.

Packed with everything we’d select ourselves from the Food Hall (we’re talking brandy butter and Christmas pud, plus champagne, mulled wine and gin to stock your bar cart ready for the party season), it’s a delight to give – and receive.

Stuck on what to give your in-laws this Christmas? Look no further. Produced in association with Royal Botanic Gardens, it’s stocked with lesser-known wines (including a fireside-ready Rosso and a bright, citrussy Carricante that’s perfect for food pairing), as well as luxurious pantry staples, hand cream and a copy of The Kew Gardens Cookbook for endless inspiration in the kitchen.

This is a gorgeous gift for the Christmas host. Filled with Cutter & Squidge’s buttery mince pies (which sell out every year for a reason), shortbread for hot chocolate dunking, and a sticky gingerbread cake packed with festive spices, it will satisfy your sweet tooth throughout the festive period.

We’ve never met a Farmer J Fieldtray we didn’t like – so we’ll be easing into our New Year’s Resolution to cook more with this Big Spender Hamper.

There are a whole host of options to choose from, but this truly covers all bases, with savoury staples – such as nutty freekeh, fiery harissa and gochujang to transform a stir-fry – plus medjool syrup and chocolate tahini to top our morning porridge. Delish.

You may think that restaurant delivery kits are a thing of lockdowns past, but this Dishpatch x Rick Stein exclusive is too good not to mention (and we’re all for a cosy night in over braving winter temperatures and scrambling for coveted restaurant reservations this December).

So, pop a bottle of bubbles on ice, and tuck into grilled scallops in hazelnut butter and lobster thermidor, before hitting the sofa for chocolate pavé in your PJs.

We don't know about you, but we can't think of many things that trump a Christmas Hamper from Ottolenghi.

This wonderful gift box is packed full of Ottolenghi's best treats, including the Panettone Classico, Brunsli Stars and Dark Chocolate, Pistachio and Sour Cherry Brittle, as a well as a pot of Chilli and Coriander Chutney, a generous helping of Rosemary Spiced Nuts and Cheddar and Pistachio Biscuits.

A refreshing, and delicious, spin on the traditional festive hamper, this is perfect for Spanish aficionados. There's plenty of cured meat, Manchego cheese and moreish treats, including soft turron and chocolate cigarillo biscuits. Oh and a bottle of Cava to get the celebrations started. Arriba!

You'll feel like you've stepped into an Andalucían tapas bar on tucking into this hamper, which contains ham, chorizo, manchego cheese, olive oil, crackers, olives and much more.

Everyone's favourite Bombay-inspired restaurant, Dishoom now has its own store where you can get your hands on an expertly curated hamper. Think House Blend Masala Chai to keep you warm, Dishoom incense for atmosphere and Premier Padmini Negroni to top it all of.
