Personal, thoughtful, and truly special, a hamper is the perfect gift for loved ones, friends (or even as a little treat for yourself!).
Whether you’re creating something for them to unwrap on Christmas Day or building a cosy treat to enjoy on the lead up to the big day, we’ve got everything you need to build a hamper they’ll adore.
The Gingerbread Kitchen Hamper
For the home baker, turn your hamper into a festive bake-off starter kit. Pair Dobbies Cookshop favourites with delicious ingredients to inspire a weekend of Christmas baking. Add cookie cutters, baking essentials, and a selection of toppings for gingerbread houses, biscuits, and cupcakes. Don’t forget a festive mug for that well-earned hot chocolate afterwards.
The Christmas Eve Hamper 
Capture the excitement of the night before Christmas with a hamper that’s full of magic for all ages. Include candy canes, chocolate coins, and a special Christmas Eve plate and mug ready for Santa’s treats. You could even add a Christmas storybook to make the evening extra cosy.
The Cold Winter’s Day Hamper 
Perfect for slowing down and soaking up the season when the weather draws us inside. Fill your hamper with comforting essentials like luxury teas, biscuits, mulled wine, and mince pies alongside relaxing activities like cross-stitch kits, crafts, or a festive candle. It’s an invitation to unwind, stay warm, and enjoy the simple pleasures of a cold-weather afternoon.
The Movie Night Hamper
Bring the cinema experience home and include popcorn and sweet toppers, chocolates, Christmas books, and festive mugs for a cosy film marathon. You can even tuck in a soft blanket and a pair of fluffy socks - everything needed for the ultimate night in.
The Gardener’s Hamper
For those who love to spend time outdoors, create a thoughtful gardener’s hamper featuring RHS food and gardening gifts. Add tools for spring planting, paired with warming nibbles or a rich fruit cake to enjoy after a day spent in the garden.
Wrap it with love
Whether it’s big or small, homemade or handpicked, a Christmas hamper is a heartfelt way to spread joy and is just as lovely to create and give as it is to receive.
