Christmas is an indulgent time of year, but it's also a time to spread joy, love and comfort, as well as enjoy the tastes and smells that the season has to offer. But in my opinion, few things capture the festive spirit quite like a Fortnum & Mason Christmas hamper.
While we don't buy one every year, we've had a few over the years and they never fail to let us down. Packed with gourmet treats, fine wines, delicious teas and artisan delights, complete with a quality wicker basket that buckles open and shut, it's a timeless symbol of British luxury. But why should you treat yourself to a Fortnum & Mason hamper this festive season? Let's dive right in!
1. It's a luxurious gift
Fortnum & Mason has always been synonymous with luxury and sophistication. Each hamper is meticulously created and put together to showcase the best that Fortnum & Mason has to offer by way of food and drink.
From buttery biscuits to vintage champagnes, and everything in between, a Fortnum & Mason exudes refinement and class, and when better to incorporate that into your life than at Christmas for an added treat.
2. There's something in there for everyone
A Fortnum & Mason Christmas hamper is full of loads of treats, as well as drinks. Including an array of both sweet and savoury foods, from vintage cheeses to speciality chocolates. There's bound to be something contained within your Christmas hamper from Fortnum & Mason that the entire family will enjoy. This helps to make the price tag a little easier to swallow, more so if there are more of you to tuck into this culinary treasure chest of indulgence.
3. It's a feast for the eyes, as well as the stomach
The Fortnum & Mason Christmas hamper is so well presented, both inside and out. It's carefully packed and comes in a sturdy wicker basket that will last for decades. Complete with leather buckles, this hamper will remain in your life for decades, as will the impression the food and drink inside will leave on your taste buds.
It looks great under a coffee table or as decoration in a snug or cosy corner of your lounge or bedroom. Not to mention you can use it to store a multitude of items. We like to keep firelighters, kindling and gloves for the log burner in ours. Whereas my parents use theirs to store winter blankets.
4. It fosters a spirit of tradition
There's something undeniably nostalgic about a Fortnum & Mason Christmas hamper. It evokes memories of roaring fires, glasses of red wine, handwritten notes and social gatherings. It reminds us of festive homeliness steeped in warmth and tradition.
If you decide to gift a Fortnum & Mason hamper to someone else for Christmas, it's the ultimate act of generosity. But if you gift one to yourself, it's a worthwhile act of self-indulgence that no one should deny themselves.
