Rebecca Jean Catering’s gift baskets are not just great for foodies, but are also perfect for family, friends, clients, and colleagues who deserve to be pampered with chef-curated fare and classic decorative elements.

Instead of just giving your loved one a book or two, why not create a romantic gift basket for that someone special, and fill it with a few other things to bring them joy and happiness?
We know how difficult it can be to come up with ideas for thing’s like this – so we are taking the stress out of Christmas for you. In a series of blog posts, starting today, we will show you what to put in your gift basket, and where to buy it from, to make your gift extra special.

For the Book Lover, why not try a variation of the traditional Christmas Hamper Gift Basket theme and add your fave book titles?

4.  Handmade Christmas Gift Baskets Ideas

Handmade Christmas Gift Ideas - the Hamper Gift Basket

It’s that time again — I’m in full gift basket mode! This year’s version is a lot like last year’s, with the exception of sugar cookies subbing in for banana bread, and the addition of fruitcake Chex mix to some of the baskets.

This is an adorable blog featuring some truly creative ways to make your own handmade gift basket in time for Christmas Holiday season.

5.  Christmas Gifts - Start Planning after Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving means time to plan for Christmas Gifts

In my world, the World of Gift Baskets, November is officially “Go Time.”  No sooner are the jack-o-lanterns tossed in the green waste trash can, but the rush of holiday orders ensues. Ironically Easter is usually the holiday most closely associated with baskets full of treats, but when you think about it, Thanksgiving is really the ultimate time for giving gift baskets.

Great share from a world famous American Gift Basket supplier - featuring the time honored tradition of Thanksgiving and your response to starting preparations for the Christmas season.

7. The Perfect Christmas Hampers

Perfect Gourmet Christmas Hampers for Delivery to friends and family

I’m not sure whether other people love receiving gift baskets as much as I love assembling them but to me they make a perfect, thoughtful gift for anyone from friends to colleagues or even family members. Not only does it bring me joy to find those little “basket stuffers” but I enjoy strolling through the aisles of décor shops finding the perfect wrapping paper for gifts and discovering gift bands with the most beautiful designs. Call me crazy, but I think I could spend just as much on the wrapping paper and gift decoration as the gift itself!

Best Christmas Hampers 2013

Meet the Hunter Valley Hampers Team
OFFICIAL MEDIA RELEASE DECEMBER 2013

AFTER A HALF DOZEN Christmas Seasons as the creative designer behind Hunter Valley Hampers, Kacy has a special feeling for knowing what her buying public wants.
And when you consider her Hunter Valley Hampers has sold out completely in 2011 and 2012 on a budget of zero advertising, it's no wonder she must be doing something right.  Artisan Food, Craft Beer and handmade fresh regional produce is a winning formula.
Over coffee, we sat down and asked her secrets to making a delicious gourmet hamper and what makes Hunter Valley Hampers a trusted authority on gift baskets.

"No Pretzels," Kacy laughs, when I ask her the secret to gourmet gift baskets, "Once we stopped putting in bags of pretzels we noticed we got a different clientele."

Keeping it Real for the Peeps

The secret to Hunter Valley Hampers success over the last decade (the business has operated independently since 1988, although only recently moved to 'high end' gourmet in 2009) is offering quality product regardless of the price.

"People are willing to pay for quality product," Kacy explains, showing a jar of tunisian spiced pickle made locally, "and so long as they know you are backing the product up with a meaningful purpose, place and personality; they will pay a premium price."

"We see competitors offering plastic poinsettia flowers and questionable "gourmet" products like john west smoked oysters - these things just don't meet what our clients expect in a regional gourmet hamper," Kacy offered as a reason for the loyal customer base at Hunter Valley Hampers.  "It's really quite embarrassing to turn up at a corporate tower in Sydney and expect the executives to accept a hamper filled with this sort of stuff - I can see why people keep coming back to us.  We keep our hampers understated and let the real food do all the talking."

Making meaningful Connections with the Community

Things are looking great this Christmas, but I feel the moment of truth for any Christmas Gift Basket is the minutes after arriving home when the hamper box is sitting by your front door.  You place the box on the kitchen counter and open it to reveal a wicker basket filled with clinking jars, bottles, pouches and pudding - all presentation packed under crisp cellophane and ready for display under the Christmas Tree in time for the big day. 

An authentic artisan hamper for a genuine, homestyle Christmas Day.  Merry Christmas, and Give Yourself the Gift of a Joyous Sharing Christmas with real friends and valued family members.
