Frequently asked questions
Start with the recipient and your budget, then match the contents to their tastes, for example sweet treats, savoury gourmet foods or a wine and cheese pairing. Decide whether it is for one person or a household, since a family appreciates a larger sharing hamper while a colleague suits a smaller gift. Hampers With Bite offers a full Christmas range so you can sort by occasion and price and find a fit quickly.
What should a good Christmas hamper include?A well balanced Christmas hamper usually mixes a few categories, such as chocolates or shortbread, savoury items like nuts and crackers, and a drink option like wine or sparkling. Look for recognisable quality brands and presentation that feels festive on arrival. Our Christmas hampers are arranged so there is variety in every box rather than several of the same item.
What is a good Christmas hamper for work colleagues or staff?For colleagues and staff, a mid sized gourmet hamper with a mix of sweet and savoury treats works well because it suits almost everyone and feels generous without being over the top. If you are buying for a whole team, choose a consistent hamper so every recipient gets the same gift. Hampers With Bite has dedicated corporate and staff Christmas hampers, and you can send to multiple addresses in one order.
Do you have affordable Christmas hampers for Kris Kringle or Secret Santa?Yes. For Kris Kringle and Secret Santa we recommend a smaller hamper that still feels like a proper gift, typically built around chocolates, a sweet treat or a single bottle. These keep within a set spending limit while presenting beautifully. Browse the lower priced options in our Christmas collection to stay on budget.
Can I send a Christmas hamper anywhere in Australia?Yes, Hampers With Bite delivers Christmas hampers Australia wide with fast Standard and Express delivery options. We recommend ordering early in December because the lead up to Christmas is the busiest postal period of the year. Each hamper is presented ready to give and includes a free personalised gift card with your message.
Can I send Christmas hampers to several different people at once?Yes. You can place one order and have separate hampers delivered to multiple recipients at different addresses, which is ideal for client lists, staff and family spread across the country. Each gift can carry its own personalised message. This saves you placing a new order for every name on your list.
Should I choose a food hamper or one that includes wine?Choose a wine or sparkling hamper for adults who enjoy a celebratory drink, and a pure gourmet food hamper for households with children, non drinkers, or workplaces with alcohol policies. If you are unsure, a mixed gourmet food hamper is the safest crowd pleaser. Hampers With Bite clearly labels which Christmas hampers contain alcohol so you can pick with confidence.
When should I order Christmas hampers to arrive in time?Order as early as you can in the festive season, ideally in late November or early December, so your gifts arrive before the holidays and you avoid the peak delivery rush. Leaving it late risks tighter availability on popular hampers. With fast Australia-wide delivery and a helpful customer service team, Hampers With Bite makes it easy to get organised ahead of Christmas.
