Hampers - who is still delivering before Christmas?!

Ok,ok, I KNOW I should have started this earlier, but (on the back of the excellent recommendations from Mumsnet) I’m looking to order some hampers for delivery before Christmas...

Northeast addresses.

Morrison’s have no delivery slots. Neither does John Lewis. Happy to use local or national companies, nut want to avoid Amazon.

Anyone? (Oh, and before anyone criticises, this is wifework nit just tardiness)

Following. My mother has been looking for a while.

Following - I've hit the same roadblock. Never normally have a problem but didn't take into account the 2020 effect. Feel doubly bad as the recipient's parcel to us has just arrived. Guessing they'll just have to have it in January.

Marks and spencer. Limited hampers online left, but I think they can still deliver

Lakeland only seem to have smallish gift sets of food online (eg pack of chutneys or jams) at the £10- 15 mark, which you could combine - but am guessing you want a bigger present?

Ringtons. Good northeast company too!

CabinClose · 15/12/2020 13:14

Aldi also

Rococo chocolates do chocolate hampers. Very expensive. Totally worth it.

Rococo slots full...

I’m going to have to drive 600 miles aren’t I? With a boot full of shortbread and chutney...

Wouldn’t it be simpler just to make your own up and go to the post office or courier it. Or are you sheilding/isolating?

CeeceeBloomingdale · 15/12/2020 13:54

Ringtons are lovely. Try Grainger Deliveries too (the stall holders of the Grainger market in Newcastle). There are probably loads of small companies who would sort something for you but depends on where specifically you're sending it

The £6000 hamper is still available at Fortnum and Mason
