HOW TO
HAMPER
PERSONALISED , UNIQUE AND PERFECT FOR MAKING AN IMPRESSION , HAMPERS ARE THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS GIFT .
Nothing says thoughtful quite like the act of constructing a personalised Christmas hamper . Not only is a meticulously crafted hamper the perfect answer for those difficultto-buy for characters , a hamper is also a great way to make an excellent impression . Fit for in-laws who ‘ don ’ t need anything ’, colleagues you may not know well but need to thank , and those that simply ‘ have it all ’ – a hamper is the perfect answer .
Making your own Christmas hamper is not only a great all-rounder guaranteed to impress , it ’ s usually more cost-effective than plumping for a premade option , or selecting a singular gift that will have the required impact . Opting to fill your own also allows you to handpick contents you know your much-loved recipient will cherish . After all , it ’ s those small thoughtful gifts that usually mean the most - the ideal way of showing someone just how well we know and care about them .
But , with all the optimum treasure-packed , hamper-gift-giving excitement comes the slightly nerve-wracking , time-consuming crux : just how do you go about constructing your own hamper ? Worry not ! insideKENT is on hand with our easy step-by-step guide – the same one we used for creating our very own insideKENT Christmas hamper , pictured above .
Step 1 : Set Your Budget
With a myriad of exciting gifts on hand , it can be easy to suddenly find yourself going OTT - especially if you ’ re in a Kentish produce heaven such as Macknade . This can be especially true if you have opted for a large container like ours , which suddenly looks less ‘ wow-factor ’ and more ‘ where-is-everything ’ when presented less than half full ! Instead , consider how many people you are curating this hamper for – is it for just one friend or family member ? Is it for a couple or joint family gift ? Or are you curating an annual box of gifts for relatives or colleagues ? Then carefully break down your overall budget by recipient , and most importantly of all - ensure you stick to it . It can be extremely tempting to go into full magpie mode buying far more than necessary , or feeling the need to compensate for empty space in a too-large container .
