Our 2009 Christmas hamper collection has now been finalized. You can see the delicious results on our Christmas Hamper page. As ever, we have tasted and tested thousands of calories-worth of tasty treats to find the treasures for this year’s Christmas Hamper collection, and are looking forward to working it all off by making up lots of the resulting hampers during our busy Christmas period. The jewels in the crown this year are our Traditional Christmas Hamper and Organic Christmas Hampers, which feature a number of our star finds, although we have created a number of smaller Christmas hampers which feature these gourment gems at an even more affordable price.

As ever, delivery of all our Christmas Hampers is FREE throughout mainland UK (except the Scottish highlands), so you get even more for your money with a Ripe Gifts Christmas Hamper. Why not get a head start and order your Christmas Hampers now?

Our Diwali Lights gift box (£36) features exotic turkish delight filled with hazelnuts and pistachios, dried fruits, nuts, six sparklers and a beautiful star-shaped glass diya, perfect for decorating the table or mander.  With both Diwali gifts including FREE next working day delivery to mainland UK addresses, adding a sparkle to someone’s Diwali doesn’t have to burn a hole in your pocket!

As a result of increased demand for our gluten-free hampers, we’ve increased our selection of gluten-free Christmas hampers for this upcoming Christmas period. There’s are now four beautifully presented and temptingly-filled gluten-free Christmas hampers to choose from at very reasonable prices of between £42 and £59, all with FREE delivery. Choose from a gluten-free Ginger Lovers Christmas Hamper, a gluten-free Nut-themed Christmas hamper, an exotic Moroccan-themed gluten-free gift hamper and our small but beautiful Gluten Free Christmas hamper. Special features include to-die-for Booja Booja organic and gluten-free truffles,  authentic turkish delight packed with hazelnuts and pistachios and delicious, handmade gluten-free walnut and cherry fruit cake. With so many tempting choices this Christmas, who needs gluten?

Following the success of our Vegan Christmas hamper last Christmas, we will be offering a choice of two Vegan hampers this year, a luxuriously updated, 2008 version of the Vegan Christmas hamper (£96), and a smaller but very stylish vegan hamper called the Vegan Christmas Cracker (£36). Both contain some fabulous foodie finds, including wonderful vegan turkish delight crammed with pistachios & hazelnuts, and absolutely divine vegan & organic Booja Booja truffles. Don’t miss them!

Looking for a great Diwali gift for your clients, employees or family in the UK? Diwali starts on October 28th this year and we have two great ideas for you: our Diwali Delight (£53) and Diwali Deluxe (£78) gift hampers. For both hampers we have sourced traditional mithai (Indian sweets) which will be freshly made to order for each of our Diwali gift hampers. The Diwali Delight hamper also features a pack of sparklers to add to the traditional festivities and fireworks and both the Diwali Delight and Diwali Deluxe feature a beautiful glass diwa (lamp / candle holder) in the shape of a star. These and a host of delicious vegetarian snacks and foods make for wonderful Diwali gifts. Order yours by October 22nd to ensure that we’ve ordered enough fresh Mithai!

With the big focus on Christmas and arranging Christmas gifts for staff, many companies can easily forget that other faiths have important holidays at this time of year too. Eid Al-Fitr or Eid Ul Fitr, an important celebration for Muslims that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, falls on October 1st this year. Eid Al-Adha or Eid Ul Adha, another important feast, falls before Christmas on December 8th this year. Rather than send a potentially inappropriate Christmas hamper, why not send an Eid hamper? Bear in mind that sending a vegetarian hamper without a bottle of alcohol isn’t always enough. Many traditional hamper products may have small amount of alchohol in their ingredients (think of rum truffles, or brandy in a Christmas pudding), which is not acceptable to observant Muslims. Our Eid gift hampers are vegetarian, strictly non-alcoholic (we’ve really checked out the ingredients) and contain wonderful traditional foods such as mithai (Indian / Pakistani sweets) and stuffed figs and dates that will delight any Muslim this Eid. We’re also happy to create customised hampers to meet Islamic dietary requirements, just give us a call on 0845 226 9182 and we’ll be happy to help. Wishing you an Eid Mubarak!

Our stunning organic Christmas hamper has absolutely everything you could want in a Christmas hamper -and all the pesticides and chemicals that you wouldn’t. From organic Christmas pudding with apricots and brandy, organic fair trade espresso coffee and organic apricot slices in dark chocolate to organic chestnuts, apricots, figs, dates to delicious organic drinks. As an extra something special for the Christmas table, there’s also a box of luxury Christmas crackers and 3 fountain sparklers. The perfect Christams hamper for any lover of organic, vegetarian - or just really wonderful – food!
