Is this M&S hamper really worth £1000?!?

Was looking through the M&S Christmas food catalogue and couldn't understand how all this food and drink could add up to £1k?!? Sheer madness to me!

OMG £20k?!?! Who on earth has that kind of money to spend on a hamper!

If it's Harrods it's all Russian oligarchs and Arab oil sheikhs.

Interestingly, if you sell something for a high price and package it poshly, people will convince themselves that it is better and worth more.

Presents, especially to business contacts, there may be a drive to spend a lot of money. It's not the thought that counts.

I want a 20k hamper just for the catshit coffee!

any suggestions? Nice things for place settings etc. there are a million ideas on Pinterest and I can't sort the wheat from the chaff.

Oopso

I have only just seen the M&S £1000 hamper for this year. I'm a huge M&S fan, but this has made me very uncomfortable. Surely 'tone deaf' in the current economic climate?
