The Family Christmas Hamper
The Family Christmas Hamper
Christmas is a time for the family – but families don’t always see eye-to-eye on everything, particularly when it comes to food. Luckily this hamper is filled to the brim with festive flavours to suit every taste. We have chosen some of our favourite festive products for every age range as well as a truly luxurious selection of cheese.
The Hamper comes in a wicker basket.
Please note, on rare occasions we may need to swap components within your hamper for a similar item.
