What can I use instead of a hamper basket? |

|
|
While a traditional wicker hamper basket adds an element of luxury to a gift, you may be either struggling to source one or might just prefer something a little different to make your gift feel more homemade. Either way, we have some ideas of what you can use to create a beautiful hamper gift without using a hamper basket! - Take an old shoebox and cover it in gift wrap - A woven jute bag - Old wooden crates add a rustic feel and can be wrapped with ribbons and battery-powered fairy lights for a cosy Christmas effect - A Plant Pot - Gardening gift hampers will look extra special arranged into a small or large pot depending on the size of your hamper |

What do you fill the bottom of a gift basket with? |
||||||
|
|
Line your gift basket with thick padding to prevent any breakages and to help with arranging/positioning the items. Some ideas are; shredded tissue paper, foam balls, straw, gift wrap, felt or a tea towel. The choices you make for the basket and filling will affect the look and feel of your gift so make sure you know what sort of gift you are wanting to create. |

It's time to start filling your hamper now! Think about who your gift is going to and what they enjoy. Do they have any hobbies? Any dietary or lifestyle requirements that you may need to consider if doing a food hamper? Sending a Christmas hamper with fresh foods? Remember that perishable items like cheese, fish and meat need to stay between 5-8 degrees and can only sustain a couple of days out of the fridge so remember to get fast delivery! At Hay Hampers our perishable hampers are all sent with next day delivery to ensure food is delivered fresh and meets all health & safety requirements. |
