Other Hampers

I always remember my mum having a christmas hamper when I was a child from our milkman, I used to love helping her unpack all the groceries as I could then see all the "treats" there were for the christmas period. The last two years I have had hampers from park, I have found them to be very good, I get regular monthly statements so I can make sure the payments are correct and I also have an account online where I can manage anything to do with my orders. I can even add to them reduce them or change them. Hampers have changed a little over the years, they have a lot more selection to choose from. There's the traditional frozen ...  Read the complete review

You know what they are, gifts for those you don't know what to get for Christmas. [I'm re-writing this for the third time today, the second was to remove my company's web address, and our competitor's, now the third time is to put in the questions that people have been asking via the comments.

Okay, I know, summer is only just upon us and the last thing you want to be thinking about is Christmas right? WRONG. Now is JUST the time to start planning christmas, in fact if you were me its quite late. I am actually known localy as a 'christmas freak'. I love the season and everything that goes with it.

The original system of Christmas hampers was an excellent idea, although the number of currently available options reduces the benefits greatly. The whole idea is based on being a simple way to budget. Start paying for a hamper early in January and you can purchase £50 worth of groceries for every £1 weekly commitment. A very good and proven way to reduce that major outlay in December. However, it is also a fact that very few people actually use all the products supplied in a hamper. Most people accept the inclusion of unwanted items as a tolerable inconvenience which is outweighed by the benefits. Nowadays the need to use a hamper company for this reason has ...  Read the complete review

I remember looking in my mums Christmas Catalogue every year marvelling at the Christmas Hampers that were for sale. I used to think..... "What is the point in paying all that money for a load of food that you can buy at the supermarket for half the price?" To this day, I have not met a person who can justify buying one.

All items that seem a good idea for Christmas but are not practical. It seems to be a gimmick for catalogue companies, department stores and Harrods to make more money ...  Read the complete review
