One of our more pleasurable tasks is to select gifts that can be packed with the wines and spirits to create an additional “treat”. It is not possible to list or show everything that we have used here but they are many and varied. Last year for example in one Chairman’s Luxury Hamper selection we combined some superb wines and foods a plate with nutcrackers, nuts and chocolates, Huntley & Palmers “Chequers mint chocolates droughts game” a “Nostalgia” monopoly set some Joseph Perrier Champagne “Bridge Cards” with a battery driven automatic card shuffler. Also included were Hugh Johnson’s pocket wine gift book and a beautifully decorated Christmas Gifts scene pillar candle.

In another food and wine hamper selection we added wine gifts together with a range of cheeses – including a superb rinded mature farmhouse cheddar – we were able to include a cheeseboard and set of 6 cheese knives which complimented the cheese and the accompanying 10 year old Delaforce’s “His Eminences Choice” Tawny Port.

As a speciality “Tipple” how about a carry pack of Ringwood Brewery speciality Beers in a carry-home pack of 3×500ml bottles.

Many companies send the traditional bottle of wine with chocolates in a presentation gift box. We find this is an extremely popular gift for all generations.

As an ideal take-home Christmas gift for staff how about the following:- Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, wine, chocolates, pillar candle with Christmas gift design, mandarins in Cointreau, mixed nuts, and bottle of Chardonnay wine in a presentation gift box and offered at a competitive price.
