Christmas hampers: 24 ideas with prices in £

A hamper is the safest answer to "what do I get someone who has everything": it is eaten rather than stored. The hard part is matching the box to the person. These hampers and gift boxes are sorted by price, and each says who it suits. Contents vary by hamper, so check the full list, allergens and any alcohol on the shop's page before you buy.

Prices are exact shelf prices in pounds, read from John Lewis and The Works on 5 October 2026: we opened each product page and checked the price, the currency and that the item was in stock. Prices move with sales and Black Friday, so check at the shop. The links open a search at John Lewis, Argos or The Works, with no affiliate tracking: if a link ever earns us a commission, it will not change what we recommend.

How to choose

  • Read the contents list on the shop's page: allergens and alcohol vary from box to box.
  • For a vegan, vegetarian or non-drinking household, choose a box that says so rather than guessing.
  • Order early if the hamper is delivered rather than collected, so it arrives before the day.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good Christmas hamper to give?

Match the box to the person: tea and treats for a tea lover, a savoury box for a cook, a pasta hamper for someone who enjoys Italian food, a vegan box for vegan friends. Avoid alcohol unless you know the person drinks.

Can I give a hamper to someone who has everything?

Yes, it is one of the best answers. Food does not need space on a shelf. Tick "Has everything" in the finder below for more ideas of this kind.
