Ah the Christmas hamper...a little willow basket bursting with home-made chutney, luscious marmalade, fine wine, artisan chocolates, smoother-than-thou pate and stinky cheeses galore.
A plentiful Christmas hamper can be the ideal gift to bestow upon a Christmas host if you're not at home for the occasion. Likewise it can be a nice treat to yourself, a chance to indulge in delicacies and put your feet up after the hard work of organising Christmas.
