Christmas Hamper Making Ideas & Tips

02 Oct 2019

Hamper making is one of our favourtie things about Christmas... The idea of putting a box together packed with treats, sweets and goodies, feels so festive!

Here are a few simple hamper making ideas & tips we think can be used to create the perfect Christmas hamper...

Christmas hampers

Choose your Hamper

Cardboard hampers are the more affordable and disposable option. These are available in a number of sizes and colours to suit a range of colour themes. These cardboard hampers are more crafty and handmade. They come flat packed with a simple assembly instruction. Most of our cardboard hampers come with price breaks which mean the more you buy, the cheaper they can be. You can find all of this information on our website.

Christmas baskets are for you if you're going for a more traditional hamper style. They fit your objects in comfortably and make your hamper look presentable. We have hamper baskets available in many colours, sizes and styles too. These are on the pricier side, but are perfect for you if you're going for the more fancy hamper look.

Hamper Making for Fun

Our Christmas cellophane kits are perfect for people who are making one or several hampers for fun. Instead of buying a whole role of cellophane or a pack of pull bows, each of these cello kits have the right amount of packaging to make one hamper.

If you're making two hampers for example, you could buy two different cello kits.

All you need to do is fill your hamper with tissue shred and place your gifts inside. Wrap your hamper with cellophane and tie at the top with ribbon. Add a pull or gift bow to your hamper for something extra!

Hamper Making for Business

If you're planning on making hampers in large quanities, you may have to purchase your supplies a little differently. In this case you'll need to buy the right amount of cellophane rolls, shredded tissue paper and ribbons or gift bows you require.

Whether you're hamper making for your shop, online business or event, you are entitled to a trade account on our website. This account allows you to get discount on the majority of our products. For more information - click here.
