Kosher Christmas Hampers

A kosher Christmas hamper? It does sound incongruous, but when everyone in your company is getting their Christmas hampers, you don't really want anyone to feel left out. Now you do have two options:

1) Give Jewish employees a kosher Chanukah gift basket for Chanukah (December 16th this year)
OR
2) Give Jewish employees a kosher Christmas hamper along with everyone else in the company.

Whichever option you choose, here's where you can find kosher Christmas or kosher Chanukah hampers:

Ripe Gifts, UK

Panzers Hampers

Merry Christmas or Happy Chanukah, the choice is yours.

£75 Christmas Hampers Review

If you're looking to make a real impression with your Christmas hamper this year, you don't need to spend hundreds of pounds on a semi-trailer-sized hamper. In fact, you can find some really spectacular Christmas hampers for just £75.

While there are places selling rather heavy-looking Christmas hampers for this price, they are generally stuffed with cheap, low-quality fillers. Since quality goes a long way to impress, the following hampers contain only high-quality items. I've graded them according to what I judge to be their level of 'wow' factor. The higher the score, the more your gift will stand out from the crowd this Christmas.

Harrods Christmas Carol Hamper - £75 (plus £5.95 for UK delivery)
Few things spell luxury as clearly as a Harrods hamper filled with Harrods own brand of Christmas truffles, Christmas pudding, brandy butter, tea and spiced coffee. While I have actually tasted better, there's no denying that this hamper will impress.
Wow Factor: 8/10

Ripe Gifts Christmas Cornucopia - £75
Take a step 'out of the box' this Christmas with a stunning cornet-shaped luxury Christmas hamper. It's filled to overflowing with quality foods, like my favourite sloe gin truffles, rum & brandy-laced fruit cake, organic Christmas pudding, stuffed dates, caramelised nuts, mulled wine bundles and more. Free UK delivery.
Wow Factor: 9/10

Fortnum & Mason Fortmason Hamper - £75 (plus £7 UK delivery)
Another very well-known name with some high quality items. It feels a little sparse for the price, but then you are paying a premium for the Fortnum & Mason name. A safe bet but, other than the name, not something that will knock anyone's socks off.
Wow Factor: 7/10

Gravitas Festive Organics - £74.50 (including £5.50 UK delivery)
A pretty little organic Christmas hamper with some high-quality organic ingredients including Christmas pudding, brandy butter, mulled punch and two kinds of Duchy biscuits. A good choice for someone who would really appreciate an all-organic Christmas gift. Otherwise, a few too many jars and no chocolates - a sin at Christmas.
