Christmas Hampers for Special Diets

Finding a Christmas hamper for a vegetarian, vegan or someone with a gluten allergy can be a bit of a trial, especially if you want to minimise the number of Christmas hamper companies you're working with. You'd want to do this for two reasons; first to save yourself time and effort (always a good thing) and second, in order to get the best possible price if you are planning to order a large number of hampers (most good Christmas hamper companies will give you a discount for large orders).

So, your best bet is to find a Christmas hamper company that offers both 'regular' Christmas hampers and Christmas hampers for special dietary requirements.

Ripe Gifts is a small family-run company that offers a beautiful range of luxury Christmas hampers and gift baskets. They also cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and even kosher diets. Their gift baskets can be ordered securely directly from their website or, if you want baskets tailored to your requirements, you can give them a call and they'll create something especially for you and your budget. I can tell you from experience that they are extremely friendly and will go the extra mile to make sure you're happy.

From their ready-to-order 2006 Christmas hamper collection, I can especially recommend the following:

1) Christmas Cornucopia, £75
A truly stunning Christmas hamper that also happens to be suitable for vegetarians. It contains my all-time-favorite Christmas chocolates, Sloe Gin Christmas truffles.

2) Vegan Christmas Hamper, £55
A very handsome hamper. Highlights include some very nice dairy-free mints and a truly outstanding cranberry & rosemary preserve.

3) Christmas Cornet, £47
Available as a regular or gluten-free Christmas hamper, this beautiful hamper will certainly stand out from the crowd.

The company also do special baskts for Diwali & Eid. And, if you have any Jewish friends or colleagues, you'll also be happy to know that they also have a kosher gift basket collection, perfect for the upcoming Chanukah holiday.

And, if you mention that you read about them in this blog, they might just send me a box of their sloe gin truffles, so please do!
