Harvey Nichols Christmas Hampers
It’s a fact universally known that a Christmas hamper makes for a great gift. Not only is a neatly packed wicker basket a beautiful sight, the personally tailored foodie delights inside also make for a truly functional present. But who ever said hampers can only be gifted? Christmas hampers are also a smart investment if you’re hosting a party, ensuring the nibbles table is packed with unique and delicious snacks and the wine never runs out. Brimming with artisanal products and fine ingredients hand-picked by Harvey Nichols’ experts, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a luxury Christmas hamper this year.
Season’s Eatings Hamper
An alcohol-free collection, the Season’s Eatings hamper takes food seriously. With a trove of traditional treats, like shortbread, Christmas pudding, and orange and cranberry panettone, interspersed with contemporary delights such as salted caramel truffles, blocks of Emmental and Gouda cheese, and wild forage tea, the hamper has all the nibbles necessary for a wholesome board game night.
Winter Wonderland Hamper
Walking through a winter wonderland may sound romantic but wouldn’t you rather avoid the cold and curl up at home with the luxuriously exclusive version contained within this Winter Wonderland hamper? Sip on mulled wine and Premier Cru champagne as you nibble on indulgent Turkish Delight studded with pistachios and pomegranates or a classic Christmas pudding crammed with sultanas, glacé cherries, almonds, pecans, and brandy.
Party Starter Hamper
Take the hassle out of party planning with the Party Starter hamper. Stock your bar table with classic and rosé Prosecco, limoncello, and small-batch Foraged Dry Gin. Snacks are aplenty as well, with melt-in-the-mouth Emmental straws, savoury Gouda palmiers, spicy nut mixes, and a sweet dulce de leche panettone. All you need for a great night, in one handy hamper.
Sparkling Christmas Treats Hat Box
The Sparkling Christmas Treats hat box is great for spicing up your Secret Santa this year. Perfectly curated individually-sized treats include Brut champagne, a mini panettone, miniature rich christmas pudding and a decadent strawberry and champagne preserve. No sharing necessary.
Harvey Nichols Festive Food & Drink
While hampers are great, that one solitary pack of dulce de leche biscuits in the basket might not be enough to satiate your sweet tooth. Enter the Harvey Nichols festive food and drink range. A seasonally curated selection of international delicacies brilliantly packaged in bright hues, stock up on crowdpleasers to make sure you’re the best party guest (or host) this season. From traditional confections, like mince pies and chocolate truffles, to seasonal tipples, such as Christmas pudding gin and single-cask sherry, there’s an option for every taste and preference.
Zambian Forest Honey with Nuts, Cranberries and Ginger
Is there a better way to end Christmas dinner than with a cheese board paired with treacly honey? We think not. This Zambian forest honey spices things up with a blend of ginger, mixed nuts, and plump cranberries.
Luxury Chocolate Baton Selection
This opulent twist on classic chocolate bark sees columns of white, dark, and milk chocolate infused with unique flavours. White chocolate is blended with blackcurrants, blackberries, and blueberries while milk chocolate is combined with toasted coconut or nuts, figs, and candied orange peel. Dark chocolate lovers can indulge in a rich roasted hazelnut option and there’s also a matcha white chocolate flavoured with sour cherries.
Dulce de Leche Panettone Grande
Saccharine sweetness is mandatory at this time of year and this dulce de leche panettone is a case in point. Baked at the 160-year-old Amaretti Virginia bakery in Liguria, the buttery panettone features decadent pockets of dulce de leche and creamy white chocolate and is coated in a rich hazelnut glaze studded with white chocolate caramel drops.
Christmas Pudding Gin
Make it a very merry Christmas with the Harvey Nichols Christmas Pudding gin. Made by The Secret Garden Distillery, the dry foraged gin has been vapour infused with Harvey Nichols own Christmas puddings, accentuating the notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Add this sustainably-made spirit to cocktails or serve simply with tonic as a refreshing mulled wine alternative.
