Christmas Hampers - Everything you need to know!

What’s Inside Our Christmas Hampers?

Each hamper is made to please every taste. We use Devon and West Country made products you’ll rarely find in supermarkets. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect in your Christmas food hamper:

• Traditional fruit cake baked in Devon

• Buttery shortbread and handmade biscuits

• Jams, chutneys, and marmalades from local farms

• Devon fudge and crumbly toffee

• Local cheeses and savoury nibbles

• Rich Christmas pudding and festive sweets

• West Country cider, ale, or non-alcoholic drinks
  

We pack every hamper by hand to make sure it looks as good as it tastes. Many customers use them as table centrepieces, office gifts, or family treats during the holidays.

How will my hamper be packed?

Every hamper is packed by hand with care – just as we’d do for friends and family. We use a sturdy, eco-friendly box, hand-stamped with the Devon Heaven logo for a rustic West Country feel, and add recyclable packing straw to keep everything snug and secure on its journey to you. During warmer weather, we include an ice pack to make sure your clotted cream stays perfectly chilled. It’s our way of ensuring your cream tea arrives fresh, beautifully presented, and with the planet in mind. As many of our hampers are gifts, we never include any invoicing inside the box – just the treats and your personal message.

What do the gift cards look like?

Each hamper includes a beautiful postcard featuring some of our best-loved places in Devon.

Here’s a convenient link to see the postcards from both sides. For every postcard, we share a little about the scene so you can feel connected to the place. On the reverse, you’ll find a charming postcard-style stamp and space for your personal message, just as though you’d sent it yourself. It’s a thoughtful touch that makes every gift feel truly special.

Adding your personal gift message is simple: choose your hamper, pop your message in at checkout, and we’ll do the rest.
