Food Hampers

Many changes have taken place in the lifestyle of people during the past centuries, but offering gifts to near and dear ones on special occasions still remains as apart of our customs. Whether it is a birthday or Christmas it is time to dispatch a gift of food hampers. It is a pleasure to choose from the variety of food items available and to pack them in a specially selected hamper. In choosing the items, care should be taken to include the favourite food and drinks of the person to whom the gift is intended.

The custom of gifting food hampers as a token of ones love, affection, regard or respect has become a part of our social life. But how to make a food hamper is a matter of discretion, subject to certain considerations. It depends on the likes and dislikes of the person who is going to receive the food hamper. Equally important is the occasion, on which the gift is to be offered.

Before preparing a food hamper, you have to select a suitable basket or hamper. You can decide whether you require a medium or large one to hold 10 to 20 items of food. A basket of a picnic style or a beautiful wicker basket can be chosen. But remember a wicker basket may not be suitable to carry liquid items like juice or wine. A standard hamper basket can be a very modest one to hold reasonable number of food items.

Food items like biscuits or cookies, dried fruits, chocolates, handmade cakes or party snacks can be selected. Items like oils, vinegars, chilly sauces are also preferred as items in the food hamper. If the gift is intended to a person who cherishes good wine, you can include beer, champagne or red wine along with food items. As an alternative you can make it a wine hamper with a variety of spirits and liqueurs, along with delicious food items.
