When talking about gift hampers in Kenya, the first thought in many people’s minds is many different gifts given to the same person at once. Although acceptable, that is an expansive view of the subject, usually misleading or often misunderstood by many. Keep reading the article to understand better gift hampers, plus a few fine examples of some of the best from Gift World Kenya.

Hampers, strictly taken, means woven baskets containing an assortment of foods usually given at Christmas. That is the traditional meaning. Nowadays, gift hampers are a collection of gifts that follow a predetermined theme and are beautifully presented together. They may be contained in a gift basket or any container.

Gift hampers can be self-made or pre-made. Self-made git hampers mean that you select the gifts to be contained in the gift basket. You can decide what your gift hamper contains. Pre-made gift hampers are bought with already pre-selected items. You will have no say in what your gift basket contains.

What to Consider in Gift Hampers

When you think about hamper gifts, there are some things you have to bear in mind. These are:

• The container. It would help if you thought about the basket or the container regarding hampers. That is because the box, basket, or other containers will determine how your gift will be received. Hand-woven bamboo baskets are no longer standard, and people are turning to other alternative containers. Recyclable materials are now the most used containers when it comes to hampers. People are turning to more environmentally friendly materials. The choice of the basket is more open in self-made hampers than in pre-made hampers.

• The budget. If you have a set limit of how much you want to spend on the hamper gifts, you should know how it will be split. The budget will determine the number of presents you can get. You can choose alternatives like homemade items when you have a limited budget. You can bake a cake or cook food as part of the gift hamper.

• The recipient. A gift hamper should be determined by the tastes and preferences of the recipient. Just like any gift, how well you know the recipient plays a major role in ensuring that you will get the perfect gift. If your gift hamper includes food or drinks, ensure you know what kind the recipient likes. Also, check whether the recipient is allergic to things in the hamper.

• Delivery. When, where, or how the hamper will be delivered also plays a role when it comes to gift hampers. Where the hamper will be delivered can determine the size, weight, and type of gifts to give. For food items, ensure that the recipient will get and use the items before the expiration date.

• Size. The hamper size is determined by the number of items you will get. As a rule, every gift in the hamper should be visible to the recipient upon opening or receiving the hamper. Ensure that your basket or container has enough space to place all the gifts comfortably. The practice is to choose the gifts first and then decide on the size of the hamper to fit the items.
