Hampers to send overseas, ideas please…

[Cappuccino76]

My aunts from overseas have really helped me out a lot this year and I want to send a little hamper as a thank you. Thought it would be nice to send near Christmas too.

I’ve looked at M&S and they’ve some lovely hampers but they don’t deliver to Canada.

Would appreciate some suggestions, thanks.

Harrods
Fortnum & Mason

Or you buy the M&S one and send it yourself

Postage can be massively expensive, I suggest you look at nice shops close to them and send a hamper from one of them (unless of course you want to do something typically from the UK, if that's the case Grasmere Gingerbread do lovely hampers and I think post abroad), we used to send flowers to a Canadian aunt and we used a florist close their home, the florist was lovely and so helpful

Or research hampers in the country where they are and buy from overseas

Thanks for suggestions.

Yes, I also looked at F&M and Harrods.

Ive researched quite a few but was interested if anyone had suggestions of hampers they’ve sent or received that they really loved.

I’ll keep looking.

Check whether the recipients would need to pay import duty to receive the parcel. With that and postage, it could cost more than the hamper. I would research sourcing the gift from within the destination country.

Also, avoid sending alcohol, even liquor chocolates, as the duty might be higher.

Jeez I would never do this. Reduce the air miles! Just buy a Canadian hamper online, much better economically and environmentally.

@Cappuccino76 I've sent and received both F&M and Harrods hampers. Both were equally nice. F&M used to have a lovely tuck / sweet hamper aimed at children which went down very well, I think only Harrods does that now - www.harrods.com/en-gb/shopping/harrods-the-harrods-tuck-box-19087494

Depending where they live, it is not just the postage. As we are not in EU, if you send to another E country they need to pay customs before the parcel is released,.
