Any recommendations please? Wanting to spend between £40 - £70.
For my parents in their 50's. Hoping for a generic type, not just wine or just chocolate etc.

Please help. I've never bought one before Confused

Marks and Spencer’s are usually quite good

If you don't need it delivering then how would you feel about putting one together yourself? Places like Wilkinson's and Hobbycraft sell the packaging (basket, shredded paper and cellophane) and then you can buy all the bits that you know they would like.

You can also make your own , you can buy the basket and fill with your own products so you know what they are getting

I use an Italian deli where you can choose all the items individually and they deliver it. It’s really good to be able to select things they’ll like and keep to a budget

Fortnum and Mason do a tea hamper for £60
Lovely basket and items

Booths! 😍
Overpriced like all hampers but really lovely

HeadintheiClouds · 14/09/2019 17:13

Second Fortnum’s. The baskets are gorgeous!

Honestly, make your own! Spend what you would have done on a naice, ready made hamper and add a personal touch!
I only say this because i tried and tried to find a hamper for DF a couple of years ago, but everything I looked at, at least half of the items would have gone in the bin🙄
I used what most hampers include as a base, swapping out items, then added more personal items.

The trick is to do it every fecking year now 😅

I do hampers every year - make your own is the best way unless the person you're giving it to has very generic tastes. Get something like this: east2eden.co.uk/shop/producttype/wicker-willow-hamper-basket-with-wood-shred-cellophane-wrapper-and-bow and then add things you know the recipient likes.

OK so I've decided to make my own, thank you for your help.

My issue now is what to include but I have time to suss that out!

Great idea to make your own. You can start saving up now, so easy!

Nice crackers, cheese, chutney, hand made chocolate, tea, coffee. I have a garden centre nearby and they have a farm shop full if goodies!

I make my own for my neighbour. He seems to like it and I always get the basket back to use the following year!
