I love autumn + winter. I’m not going to lie. Anything from Harvest Festival, to Halloween, Christmas, right up to early year snow. Yep. Love it.
When birthdays, house warmings and any kind of event that you’d give a gift for, I like to pack beautifully curated hampers. Whether it’s a baby basket, an epicurean delight or a well stocked bundle of beauty products, I just find that there is something cossetting and comforting about a hamper. As you dig out more goodies from inside, it really is the gift that keeps on giving!
Even more so when the festive season rolls round and we start to receive and send festive gift hampers. Through our work, Mr Tramp and I always receive a few hampers a year. From spirit to food. I get excited about the food, he coos over the bottles of Port (Ick!)
I quite often look online for content inspiration and this year, the Harvey Nichols hamper offerings are lovely. Ranging in price from around £40 right up to £1,000 there is something for every budget and taste.
My top picks, foody and not, are below. Mr Tramp has also picked a couple of his favourites too… drink based. No surprise there.
Shake cocktail hamper | £55
Top to toe pamper hamper | £100
Noel! Noel! Christmas Hamper | £100
Connoisseur Christmas Hamper | £1,000 (Ouch!)
Top to toe pamper hamper | £100
Noel! Noel! Christmas Hamper | £100
Connoisseur Christmas Hamper | £1,000 (Ouch!)
And this is making me drool, the Epicurean Christmas Hamper(£500). Yes it is expensive, I’m not even going to justify it but it certainly is jammed with tasties. You could make something similar.

I visit the Leeds HN a lot, probably more than most people who live in Leeds… and I live 80 mile away! After I have trawled the beauty hall, I skip the clothes and make my way right up to the top floor to stock up on tasty food treats. My mouth is watering right now after having looked at these hampers. I need cheese and crackers…. Immediately.
I have my eye on a couple of hampers to both give and receive so I had better start my Christmas wish list eh!
I love Harvey Nichols and I love Hampers so that’s a match made in heaven!
