How to Add a Personal Touch to Your Christmas Hamper

A Christmas hamper is a thoughtful gift in itself, but adding a personal touch can make it even more meaningful. Whether you are sending a hamper to family, friends, or business partners, a few small details can turn a lovely present into something truly memorable. At Highland Fayre, we believe that gifting should always feel genuine and personal. Here are some simple ways to make your hamper stand out this festive season.

Include a handwritten message

Few things feel as personal as a handwritten note. It shows that you have taken the time to think about the person receiving your gift. A short message wishing them a Merry Christmas or thanking them for their support can make a big impact.
Every Highland Fayre hamper includes the option to add a message card. You can keep it simple or write something heartfelt, depending on your relationship with the recipient. For corporate orders, a message signed by the team adds a warm and genuine touch.

Choose a theme that fits the recipient

Personalisation starts with understanding what your recipient enjoys. A wine enthusiast will appreciate one of our luxury hampers featuring fine wines and savoury treats. A foodie might love a traditional Christmas hamper filled with local produce, chutneys, and shortbread.
If you know someone who avoids alcohol, our alcohol-free hampers are full of delicious festive items that do not compromise on flavour. Choosing a hamper that reflects their preferences shows thought and care before it even arrives.

Add a company logo or branded packaging

For businesses, branding can enhance the sense of connection while maintaining a professional appearance. Our corporate hampers can include your logo on ribbons, boxes, or cards, creating a polished and consistent look across all gifts.
These small details make your hamper feel more personal and show that your company values presentation and attention to detail. It is a simple way to strengthen relationships with clients or staff while reinforcing your brand identity.

Add a seasonal or personal keepsake

A small keepsake or festive addition can elevate a hamper even further. A Christmas ornament, personalised decoration, or small candle adds charm and creates a lasting memory of the gift.
When sending a corporate hamper, you might include a branded notebook or reusable cup as a subtle addition. It shows creativity while keeping the main focus on the food and presentation.

Choose presentation that suits their style

The look of a hamper can be just as meaningful as the contents. At Highland Fayre, every hamper is hand-packed using quality baskets, boxes, and wrapping that make a strong first impression.
For something elegant, choose a wicker basket tied with a ribbon. For a modern finish, go for one of our sleek gift boxes. Both options are designed to look impressive and protect the contents during delivery. You can explore our range of luxury hampers to see how different presentation styles complement the products inside.

Add a local or Scottish touch

If you want to give a hamper that feels distinctly regional, our Scottish hampers feature products made by local suppliers. From shortbread and cheese to whisky and preserves, these hampers celebrate the craftsmanship and flavour of Scotland.
For recipients overseas or those who appreciate authentic produce, a Scottish hamper offers a memorable taste of place and tradition.

Match the tone to your relationship

The tone of your hamper should reflect the connection you have with the recipient. A lighthearted message might suit a friend or colleague, while something more formal is better for a client or business partner.
Highland Fayre offers a variety of options across our Christmas hampers range, so you can choose something that fits both the relationship and your message.

Make delivery part of the experience

When ordering a hamper, think about how and when it will arrive. Our delivery service allows you to schedule deliveries in advance, ensuring your gift arrives at the perfect time.
For multiple recipients, our multi-address delivery option makes it easy to send gifts across the UK. Each hamper arrives beautifully presented and ready to enjoy, adding convenience without losing the personal touch.
