Guide to Gift Hampers
1.1 What can I expect to find in an Australian gift hamper?
There’s really no telling what you’ll find when you open a hamper of gifts. While a few may be a given, there’s always bound to be something to raise a few eyebrows. You might find a few of the following treats in your hamper:
- Alcohol: Champers, wine, beer, maybe even the whole lot – corporate hampers will be more likely to stock up on alcohol as the recipients would all be over 18 years of age. A school raffle for instance, would be very unlikely to have alcohol in it.
- Sweets: Nuts, chocolates, potato chips, once again – maybe the whole package. A Christmas hamper would be very likely to stock Christmas puddings.
- Bath soaps & oils: Don’t be surprised if you find scented toiletries, such as mini shampoo and conditioner packs in a gift hamper. Scented candles are a regular addition too.
- Gourmet condiments: Olives, capers, artichokes, chilis, chutneys – any interesting foods are common features in a hamper.
- Gadgets: These tend to be the intriguing eye-brow raisers, though may actually be quite handy. Examples includes bottle openers, luxury pens and USB sticks.
1.2 What occasions are best to bring or send a hamper?
- Christmas hampers: Going to a Christmas party or event where gifts are expected, but just not sure what to get? Fortunately for you, hampers have something in them to please just about anyone this gifting season.
- Birthday hampers: Once again, hampers work ideally for a gift where you don’t necessarily have the time to find a present or knowledge of the recipients tastes and interests. Attending an obscure birthday such as your partner’s nephews 22nd birthday party? Consider chip in for a gift hamper between you and your partner.
- New Baby hampers: There are some things babies and their parents can’t get enough of – such as diapers, books and toys. If the baby hamper has clothes, consider buying clothes which will fit when they are 1-4 years of age, as they may already be saturated with newborn clothing.
1.3 What exactly is a hamper – can I create my own?
A hamper is traditionally a basket made from wicker. Any large container is sufficient however, especially for events such as charity hampers being donated for the needy. If you are donating food and clothing, any container will do as the organizers will generally have their own supply of hampers to use.
If you’re interested in buying hampers for yourself, they can be purchased from retail outlets such as Ikea, Target and Bunnings, or even cheaper from Reject and $2 shops.
