Christmas Hampers for Mum
We’re back here again, Christmas is almost here. It is that time of year where we make merry, enjoy ourselves in the spirit of togetherness and spend time with our loved ones.
We would imagine that our dear mothers are on top of that list of the people we love, and so it makes sense to get her something that shows this love. After all, it may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful? So, when you show up to mum’s place next time and she hands you that knitted sweater sewn in love, you should have something in hand to express your love for her.
Perhaps one way to go is to show up with a Christmas hamper.
What’s a hamper?
Traditionally, hampers were hinged baskets (alternatively baskets with carrying handles) that were used for carrying food for a special occasion.
Hampers have evolved into gift baskets as well, where a hamper could be used to carry perfumes, other small gifts or pleasantries.
Now that we have a bearing of what hampers are, let’s take a look at some ideas for Christmas hampers for mum this year.
Christmas hamper ideas
Just as you would typically use someone’s personality, hobbies or needs as a basis for buying them a birthday gift, so too should be your basis for mum’s Christmas hamper. In this case we’ll use the “Mum loves (insert object here)’’ as a basis for choosing our hamper.
Also, some companies offer hampers that can be delivered so it may save you time if you by checking the proposed hampers online.
Mum loves being pampered
This is typically for the mothers who enjoy luxury in all its forms. This could be as something as grandiose as sipping expensive champagne as she gets a massage on spa day or even something as small as taking long refreshing baths. For this mum, you might want to think in 3 generic directions: pampering through bath – related gifts, pampering through skin care – related products and pampering through a spa.
For baths you may want to consider hampers including organic soaps, haircare products such as moisturizer and hair strengthening products, organic shampoos and perhaps seal the deal with a plush robe. For skin care products, you may want to get a hamper consisting of organic lotions as well as premium petroleum jelly. The spa hamper may be formed as an amalgamation of the previous 2 hampers and some additional products. So perhaps pick bath – related product here as well as a skin care – related product there then drop in a nail polish/ nail care set (and maybe a spa voucher) and you’re done!
Pamper hampers can easily be found online and so you may want to Google it.
Mum loves a good bottle
This is typically for the mother who likes a good bottle of wine or a bottle of champagne. There are multiple hampers available. The only distinction is knowing which specific type of wine/ champagne your mum prefers. The idea here is to go for a premium wine with a small box of chocolates to accompany the bottle.
An alternative to this (or perhaps some manner of improving the hamper) is getting your mum the typical wine and cheese hamper. The difference here is that the wine is not nearly as expensive; the hamper would also contain various types of cheese as well as bread.
Mum is a sweet tooth
This is for the mums who love confectionary. This is relatively straightforward compared to the other hamper ideas on this list. Not as simple as just going to the candy store and throwing anything you hold into a basket, but easy nonetheless. For this hamper you’ll want to find rich chocolates for your mum’s mature taste buds (avoid cheap chocolate as it may leave sharp stingy after taste). Combine this with some fudge as well as some small candy treats to come up with the ideal hamper. Just as with the wine hamper, this hamper is easily acquired online as well.
Bottom Line
Perhaps the question on your mind is how to possibly find the best products to put in the hampers. The good news is that it is quite possible to find hampers that have already been pre-filled. This means that they already come as a full set of products ready to be bought and all you have to figure is which one would be best for your mum.
Finally, presentation matters! Half of the gift is seen in the packaging of the product, so you may want to be careful in picking hampers online. Purchase hampers that have that premium look. Also, make sure to include a card in the hamper to add that little personal touch.
Merry Christmas and make merry!
