Choosing sustainable hampers

The most sustainable hampers are the ones where everything gets used, so build around what the person loves rather than filling space. Look for boxes and tins that can be reused, and fillers such as paper or wood wool rather than plastic. A smaller box of well-made things usually beats a large basket of extras. Firetree, Bouclé, The Mood Club and Big Nose and Beardy make many of the hampers here. We checked each maker for what goes into its products and how it packs them.

Chocolate and cider hampers

Firetree makes single-origin chocolate gift boxes, including the Ultimate Celebration Hamper, a chocolate and wine gift box, a chocolate thins and sparkling wine gift box, library sets and letterbox selections. Big Nose and Beardy makes a Sussex Foodie Hamper, a cider and cheese tasting hamper and a chocolate and cider pairing box. Camellios makes a loose leaf tea gift box, and Oh Lily Snacks makes a vegan family snack box of water lily seed snacks. Alcohol is for adults aged 18 and over.

Common questions

What makes a hamper sustainable?

Everything inside gets used, and the box and fillers can be reused or recycled. Small makers and refillable products help too.

Are the hampers vegan?

Many are, but not all. Some include milk chocolate or cheese, so check each listing.

Can I build my own hamper?

Yes. Bouclé and Wild Rising Skincare offer create-your-own gift boxes, and Swole Panda has a build-your-own sock box.

When should I order a Christmas hamper?

Order by early December, especially for personalised boxes. Check each listing for delivery times.
