Including a £5,000 version that's so exclusive there's only one available.
Yes, it's that time of year again when retailers gear up for the festive season by unveiling their most lavish Christmas food and drink hampers.
Fortnum and Mason recently revealed its most decadent hamper, priced at an eye-watering £6,000. 'The Imperial' is all about luxury, featuring no less than 80 items including vintage Champagnes by Krug and Dom Ruinart, Beluga Caviar and a Fortnum and Mason tea set.
Now John Lewis, Selfridges, Marks and Spencer and Harvey Nichols have all followed suit by unveiling their Christmas hamper collections. Liberty London is also getting in on the act, revealing its first — an online exclusive housed in a sweet wicker basket and limited to just 100 pre-orders.
Here's our round-up of the most covetable. Be warned: if you have the money to splurge, you might struggle to give one of these away come Christmas morning...
Two bottles of Bollinger Champagne, mini mince pies, a Panettone, Christmas pudding and brandy butter — John Lewis' most expensive offering, the Treasure Chest, will see you through Christmas Day (and Boxing Day and New Year) in style. Available from 5th November.
A first in the department store's 140-year history (and the most budget-friendly on the list), Liberty London's hamper is all British and filled with homegrown hits like Bermondsey gin, condiments from Cambridgeshire and Cornish tea. Pre-order for late November delivery.
Treat guests to a Christmas spread they won't forget in a hurry. From duck rillettes to a truffle selection box and a late vintage port that pairs perfectly with cheese, Harvey Nichols' hamper has it all. Available to pre-order now.
So exclusive that there's just one available, Selfridges' Decadence hamper includes wines chosen by their expert sommelier, Golden Oscietra Caviar and the finest truffle oil around — all accompanied, of course, by enough festive foodie treats to fill you up 'til spring. Order online or in store.
Why gift one hamper when you could give three? Marks & Spencer The Collection Berkeley is seriously impressive. Each dark-stained wicker basket is brimming with M&S' most sought-after treats, including colour-changing rose gin, salted caramel shortbread and Italian cantuccini with gianduja and hazelnuts. Delicious! Available for delivery from 1st November.
