Shop Local - Christmas Hampers from Independent Norfolk Retailers

With Christmas fast approaching why not try something different this year by sourcing your presents closer to home and supporting local businesses. In Norfolk we are spoilt for choice, with many independent retailers offering festive hampers, from fine homemade foods and drink to cleverly crafted creations; nothing says Christmas quite like a luxurious hamper. Brimming with sumptuous and mouth-watering treats, a Christmas hamper is arguably the perfect Christmas gift and can easily be personalised and tailored for all tastes and budgets.

Hampers originated in medieval times, when wicker baskets were used, something that has remained unchanged today. The Christmas hamper tradition was born when affluent Victorian families handed hampers as gifts to their staff at Christmas. Today this popular gift is still widely given to celebrate the festive period as well as birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations and events throughout the year and to treat loved ones to a little bit of extravagance and enjoyment.

So, if you are stuck for ideas of what to buy this Christmas, take a look at the following independent Norfolk retailers who are offering gift hampers to delight, indulge and surprise the special people in your life.
