13 Best Christmas Food Hampers To Give (And Receive) This Year
Because Christmas gifts don't get much better than an artisanal hamper brimming with cheese, chocolate and wine
Christmas hampers are a staple as soon as December rolls around (and, let's face it, a failsafe gift for those impossible to buy for in-laws).
Not only can the lucky recipient often keep the wicker hamper for storage come the new year (we like to fill ours with shoes above the wardrobe), but they're a gorgeous option if you're looking to stock the pantry with indulgent spoils ahead of the big day.
From recipe boxes for Christmas Eve to booze-filled baskets to stock your drinks trolley, we've rounded up the most decadent Christmas hampers to give – and receive – this year.
