Food hampers: give your loved ones a little bit of luxury

When it comes time to buy the loved one in your life a present that they'll truly cherish, personalised hampers often go down a treat. It's important to try to tailor your hamper to the tastes of the recipient - after all, while a generic hamper is all well and good, it doesn't exactly scream originality. There are, however, companies out there that provide a wonderful array of specialist hampers to cater for anyone's tastes. Here are just a few examples:

Sticking to tradition

Traditional hampers are often well received but there are so many specialised options out there to allow you to put your own personal touch on things. How about a vegetarian hamper for those who don't eat meat or a luxury student hamper to send a son or daughter off to university with a smile on their face?

Bring a bottle

For someone who loves a tipple now and then a wine hamper makes a perfect gift. Whether they're themed to contain white wine, red wine or sparkling wine, these hampers tend to go down a storm. And it's not just drink that fills up wine hampers - some treats to nibble on are also included, making for a lovely overall package.

Classic cheese

Another favourite is a hamper containing your recipient's favourite wine and cheeses - or perhaps even cheese and a bottle of port for something that little bit extra special. Again, the cheese and drink are complimented by chocolates or biscuits to round off a classic hamper.

A bit of bubbly

While hampers containing champagne and chocolates are a popular romantic gift, why not go the extra mile and splash out on a champagne breakfast hamper with breakfast muffins, ground coffee and fruit preserves? Perfect for a very special breakfast in bed.

Something sweet

If the person you're buying for has a sweet tooth then you'll want to look at chocolate-themed hampers. From mint chocolates and chocolate covered nuts to pralines and truffles, there's something there for every chocoholic. Or, if you'd like to opt for something a little different, consider a muffin and cookie basket for a present to remember.
