- Clearwater Hampers - Christmas Gift Hampers
Offers a good selection of delicious food and wine hampers which would make ideal gifts for gourmets! Christmas hampers start at a reasonable £24.95 and include all sorts of traditional Christmas goodies - Mince Pies; Finest English Blue Stilton Cheese; Brandy Butter; Plum Pudding; Rugenberger Marzipan Stollen and more. Or how about a celebration hamper for breakfast in bed on the special day? Or the luxury of smoked salmon and champagne? Or send a student hamper to save your favourite student from an endless diet of baked beans! Other options include hampers filled with chocolates, port and stilton hampers, and wine hampers.
At the moment the hampers displayed on the site are guaranteed to be delivered in time for Christmas (in the UK) and the number one bestseller is the 'Christmas Eve' Hamper which costs a reasonable £30.14 and comes in a check lined palm leaf hamper filled with: English Provender Strawberry Preserve with Champagne; Petit Grandeur Belgian Chocolates; Lyells of London Sugared Almonds; La Truffe Cendree Pate de Canard; Waxed Double Gloucester English Cheese; Tracklements Brandy Butter; Coles Plum Christmas Pudding with Cider; Walkers Highland Oatcakes; Henri Moreau Bordeaux 1996/99 Wine (half bottle) and Rugenberger Marzipan Stollen.
If you live in Australia, New Zealand or Canada, you can even send a food hamper gift to a friend or relative in the UK filled with produce from your country. For example, the Australian 'Kookaburra' hamper offers Arabicas Black Mountain Ground Coffee, Lemon Myrtle Sweet Chilli Sauce, Penfolds Wine, Suncoast Gold Roasted Salted Macadamia Nuts and a Yummy Kitchen Australian Celebration Cake in a presentation box for £34.84 plus £4 for UK delivery. A great feature is that you can also create your own gift hamper by choosing products from a wide selection of food, as well as coffee, tea, port and wine. So, if you have an Aussie or New Zealand friend living in the UK, send them some Vegemite, if you know a homesick Canadian, send them some Maple Syrup - you get the picture! The only negative point is that while delivery to an address in the UK is very reasonable at around £4, delivery to other countries is expensive, particularly outside of Europe.
