How to Make a Christmas Gift Hamper (The Easy Way)

If you love the idea of creating your own Christmas hamper, but don’t fancy sourcing all the bits and pieces, gift packaging and boxes yourself, you’ll love the Brown Paper Packages Build a Box tool, where you can make your own hamper online in minutes.

Here’s how to make a hamper that feels personal, thoughtful, and perfectly wrapped.

Step 1. Select your gifts – Add comforting teas, healthy snacks, or artisan chocolate. Explore our non-food Christmas hamper ideas, like candles, journals, soft socks or bath treats, using our gift filters.

Step 2. Choose your box & wrapping – Pick a signature style that suits the person you’re gifting — from classic hues and eco neutrals for men, to festive colours and pretty pink.

Step 3. Add a personal message – Every box includes a handwritten note, so your gift feels as heartfelt as if you’d wrapped it yourself. Select a gift card and then you will be prompted to add a message. 

Whether you’re sending a healthy snack hamper to a colleague, a non-alcoholic Christmas food hamper to family, or a non-food hamper to a friend, it’s easy to make a hamper they’ll truly love. 

Creating a gift hamper isn’t just about lovely items in a basket. We know that you want to send something that reflects your values and the sentiment of your gift-giving. Our gift hampers are about sending comfort and care in a box. With occasions like ‘giving thanks’ or ‘supporting someone through a difficult time’ in mind, we’ve selected gifts to nourish and nurture someone via healthy treats and wellbeing essentials. Brown Paper Packages is a cost-effective way to send a hamper to someone you care about. With simple sustainable packaging that doesn’t detract from the gifts… the magic is in the thought that goes into personalising your hamper gifts.
