Why Build Your Own Hamper?

There’s so much choice in the Spirit Journeys Gift Shop that we have provided the option to build your own hamper. 

We know that Christmas gifts can be difficult, and we also know that it is important to support local, which is why we have put together a few suggestions for you to include in the Build Your Own Hampers.

Here’s how to say Merry Christmas to your family and friends, Thank You to your teachers and Seasons Greetings to your neighbours.

Once you have added all the items you would like to include in the Traditional Scottish Hamper, just add ‘Gift Wrapping’ and checkout and we will do the rest.

We can either deliver to you or to the recipient in time for Christmas.

All of our products are produced in Scotland, making the Build Your Own Hampers truly Scottish Hampers.

Building your own hamper can be a fun and rewarding experience. Not only does it allow you to personalize the contents to suit your recipient's tastes, but it also adds a personal touch that shows you put some thought into the gift. Whether you're giving a hamper for a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, or just to say thank you, following these simple steps can help you create a beautiful and thoughtful gift.

Choose a Theme for Your Hamper

The first step in building your hamper is to choose a theme. This will help you narrow down your options when it comes to selecting the contents. Some popular themes include gourmet food and drink, spa and beauty products, baby items, or books and stationery. Think about the recipient's interests and tailor the theme accordingly.

Select Your Contents

Once you have a theme in mind, it's time to start selecting the contents for your hamper. This is where you can really let your creativity shine! For a gourmet hamper, consider including artisanal cheeses, chocolates, and wine. If you're creating a spa hamper, you might include scented candles, bath salts, and body lotion. The possibilities are endless!

Container and Presentation

Choosing the right container for your hamper is also important. Wicker baskets are a classic choice, but you can also use a decorative box or even a reusable shopping bag. Be sure to add some tissue paper or shredded paper to create a nice base for your items to rest on. You can also add some decorative touches, such as ribbon or a gift tag.

Conclusion

Building your own hamper is a great way to show someone you care. By following these simple steps, you can create a beautiful and thoughtful gift that your recipient is sure to love. So why not get started today?
