Making one for a friend. What five things would you like in a (mainly food) hamper for christmas? Am asking for five because I want to narrow down to the nicest ones so don't want too many from each person, just what you'd really like to have. Cheers

Champagne
Blinis
Caviar
Sour cream
Lemon

TBH half a case of champagne would do fine. And when i say 'champagne' I'm also happy with cava or English sparkler, if you've done a bit of research to find a nice one.

M&S pink gin or Hendricks.
Loose leaf tea (seems like a special occasion thing to me and I do love tea).
Milk chocolate with raspberry pieces.
Some nice biscuits, savoury or sweet I don't mind (but nothing with blue cheese).
A book to lose myself in. Not sure which!

Some lovely ideas here!

lilolilmanchester · 03/11/2014 19:33

Deliberately not reading other suggestions... Prosecco; chocolate; shower gel & body lotion (don't need to be expensive); a book

^ these fancy crackers "toast", are the best new product I've discovered in years. I get them from the healthfood shop for £3 a pop, which is more than I spend on anything really, but they are my food treat of choice all year long.

Dark chocolate cherry & cherry liqueurs.

Also G&B sampler/selection is fab.

cheese, pate.

Rich christmas cake, mince pies, haribo fried eggs and hearts, Percy pigs and posh chocolate.
