Hamper Suggestions

Hello! In the innevitable "aghhh last minute present" rush, can anyone suggest to me a decent place to get a Christmas hamper? I've had a look at John Lewis and I don't really perceive them to be very good value. Thanks in advance and mocking is permitted

Not sure if they offer a nationwide delivery service but I use Wisebuys Narbeth. Hampers are always a bit of rip u less you DIY.

This is the only way if you don't want to get ripped off.

+1 make your own

One more vote for make your own. You can't top a bespoke hamper.

Tesco Value cheese. Always a winner.

Thanks for the suggestions (well, the suggestion of 'make your own') - I ended top going with a small one from F&M. Not 'value' by any means but the overall cost was quite low and you do get that signature wicker basket.

Thanks again!

Waitrose have lots of the same ones as John Lewis (no surprise really, them being the same parent company 'n'all), but with reductions. Just don't mess about in checkout, as one of the ones I wanted became out of stock before I could pay :'(
