Hampers are traditionally given at Christmas, so we’ve crafted this list of the best vegan hampers that can suit all year round. Also, we’ve outlined our favourite goodie in each wicker basket - so you can see what we’re excited by. This collection has everything: savoury snacks, spa goodies, vegan chocolate and prosecco. All delivered to your doorstep.
Did you know that hampers were introduced to England by France and gained popularity during the Victorian era? A wicker basket filled with delicious and savoury treats even dates back to the days of William the Conqueror. Hampers, for centuries, have been a sign of charity. Now, they make a perfect treat and a great gift for foodies, which could keep you going for a while… Or perhaps to someone else’s.
