If you’re looking for a Christmas gift that feels extra special, the Fireside Feast Hamper from Spicers of Hythe is a fantastic choice. It’s beautifully packaged in a large wicker basket that you can reuse, and it’s filled with 13 festive treats that are nothing like the usual supermarket offerings. This hamper really has that wow factor, making it perfect for spoiling someone you care about.

Inside, you’ll find everything from traditional mince pies to indulgent caramel chocolates, crumbly biscuits, and even two bottles of Italian wine that are carefully chosen to pair with the snacks. It’s the kind of gift that instantly feels thoughtful, festive, and just a little bit luxurious.

Senior Digital Writer, Anne Lora Scagliusi shares: “When I received this hamper myself, I have to admit—I was completely impressed. And I don’t say that lightly! From the moment I opened the box, it was clear how much thought had gone into it. The basket itself looked gorgeous, and the goodies inside were so much nicer than anything you’d pick up at the shops.

What really stood out to me was the variety. There was a little bit of everything, whether you’re into sweet or savoury treats, and it felt like a proper indulgence. I loved the mince pies (you can’t go wrong there), and the banoffee biscuits were a big hit in my house. The wine was such a lovely touch, too—perfect for enjoying during a cosy Christmas evening.” 

What makes this hamper so special is that it feels personal, like it’s been put together with love. It’s not just another box of chocolates or a bottle of wine—it’s a proper experience that’s meant to be savoured. If you want to treat someone this Christmas (or even yourself!), the Fireside Feast Hamper is an amazing choice.
