Homemade Hamper for Grandparents

[ReginaaPhalangee]

My DH and I are looking at doing a nice hamper for his grandparents this Christmas. I'm struggling to think what to add to it, so any help would be appreciated.

I know they don't drink and they like sure basic things - they don't cook much, tend to eat ready meals.

So far, all I can think to add is a box of their favourite chocolates and some really nice jams.

I've got the hamper - it's a nice large sized one from the works, so can definitely hold a good amount.

A cosy throw/picnic blanket? Chutney, nice crisps, biscuits for cheese. Tea in a pretty canister.

I love making up hampers! Try & tailor it - my Nan likes the M&S nut mixes, so I always pop one of those in. What about some Christmas candles? Shortbread? While they don’t drink; what about a nice sparkling drink for Xmas day. Mini Christmas puddings. Nice mince pies! Just have a browse round some supermarket aisles and I’m sure you’ll get some ideas 😊

Echo the biscuits for cheese see if you can get some local cheeses. Perhaps some shortbread biscuits. Have a look at Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, M&S and Waitrose for ideas

Cordial, tea, coffee, nut selection, florentines, Turkish delight

Crisps would be in my hamper you can get special seasonal ones like Lidls lobster cocktail.
I would also love Roka cheese sticks and the same brand wafer

Thanks for the suggestions so far! Adding these to my list

Is there a farm shop near you? Ours does lovely locally made biscuits (sweet and savoury)/ cakes/ chutneys / crisps / apple juice. Nice tea or coffee. Maybe some tinned pate or fish? Could be controversial but might remind them of their youth! Lashings of ginger beer.

Lidl stollen bites were a surprise hit along with fudge.

Crackers, tin of salmon, tin of ham, jams, marmalade, pickles, Piccalilli, cheese, biscuits, fancy crisps, sweets, chutneys, Christmas pudding, mince pies, pate, fish paste, breakfast tea, Turkish delight, marzipan fruits, custard, Tin of spam, tinned fruit, nuts,

Agree with all of the above. Depends what they like to eat. A packet of better than usual dried pasta and jar of pasta sauce if they'd eat that. Things that are more expensive than they'd usually buy so a small tin of red salmon; decent filter coffee, good hot chocolate. Little cakes. Garden centres and TK Maxx/Homesense have some lovely things coming up to Christmas.
