Christmas Hampers Over €300

The test is simple. Lift it. A luxury Christmas hamper built from full-sized products weighs what its contents weigh. The Grand Colossus carries fifty-one full-sized products. The Lord's Laud carries sixty-two, across a 22 inch wicker hamper and a giant white basket. The Baron's Banquet carries more than sixty across two containers. The Trumps All, the most prestigious Christmas hamper we make, carries one hundred and twenty-five products across three containers, with ten wines and two bottles of Moët and Chandon among them. Each item is the size the producer sells in a shop, and each is named on the product page with its weight.

Biggest and Best | What Prestige Means on the Irish Site

On the Irish site our Christmas hampers are built to be the biggest and the best for the money, and the luxury Christmas hampers on this page are where that is most visible. The Christmas Traditional Grand, a 22 inch wicker hamper with no alcohol, carries thirty-one full-sized food items where a comparable hamper elsewhere might carry half that. The Trumps All carries one hundred and twenty-five where a comparable hamper might carry under forty. We do not fill a premium hamper to make it look big. We fill it with the products we would want ourselves and let the count fall where it falls, which at this tier is high.

Prestige here is a level, not a price. Half of all the Christmas hampers we design each year adopt the luxury-at-value profile, and this upper tier is the top half of that commitment. It is not the most expensive luxury hamper that could be built. It is the best luxury Christmas hamper we can build at each point on this page for Christmas 2026, and the difference shows in the hand rather than in the wrapping.

The Celestial Giants | Premium Hampers Built for a Destination

Six luxury Christmas hampers on this page share a name and a chassis: the Celestial Giants, each in a 22 inch wicker hamper, each with the large 420g Holmes pudding, Foods of Athenry gluten-free very fruity mince pies, a West Cork Bakery chocolate fudge cake, two County Cork cheeses, Pandora Bell fruit jellies, Graham's shortbread, Secotto Laois coffee, Chocca Mocca orange peel and Olly's Farm Dublin honey. What separates them are the drinks. Each Giant hamper has been specifically created to maximise the volumetric space so that friction is non existent and filler tissue is minimised to the corners and to maintain upright stances of its jars.  There is a layering process at work which eliminates breakages and maximises satisfaction upon opening.  We engineered a solution to the 1970s-1990s accusatation that you were paying to ship air such was the extent of protective filler cushioning.  We use compression, structure and geometry to ensure your hamper is packed perfectly and arrives safely in a reassuringly heavy giant outer box.

The Alcohol Free Celestial Giant and the Alcohol Free Deli Celestial Giant replace the wines with Luscombe organic drinks, LongMeadow sparkling apple juice, Nemi teas and alcohol-free wine and beer, and the Deli version adds McGeough's air-dried lamb from Connemara, Cantabrian anchovies, bittersweet figs and Filligans relish. These two matter geographically. Switzerland, Norway and every destination outside Europe take no alcohol, so for a client in Geneva or a family in Toronto the alcohol-free giants are the luxury Christmas hampers that can actually go.

Luxury Christmas Hampers with a Ham, Salmon and Five Cheeses

Three luxury Christmas hampers carry the ham, the salmon and the cheeses. The Royal Connections lists forty-two items including a Brady's giant ham joint, 200g of Ummera smoked organic salmon, McGeough's air-dried lamb and beef, five Irish cheeses from Carrigaline and Bandon Vale, and four old-world wines. The Fabulous Family Favourites carries the same ham, salmon, lamb, beef and three cheeses beside the full children's selection of Lindt reindeer, Santa sleighs and lollipops, with four wines for the adults. The Trumps All carries all of it and more. The large hams are usually the first thing in the range to sell out, because we cap the number of chilled hampers we dispatch so that each is cold-packed, dated and sent overnight; choose the delivery week early if the ham is the reason.

Premium Hampers Without Alcohol, and Luxury Hampers with Ten Wines

The tier runs from wholly food-led to wine-led, and the product page says which. The Christmas Traditional Grand and the Grand Colossus carry no alcohol at all; the Colossus is fifty-one full-sized products of chocolate, biscuit, preserve, tea and coffee around the five Christmas foods, in a 22 inch wicker hamper with a magnetic valise beside it. The Great Taste Award Diamond Hamper and the Artisan Feast are food-led with award-listed products. The Provincial Excellency, the Lord's Laud, the Baron's Banquet and the Christmas Party Infinite Ideas each carry four wines. The Trumps All carries five old-world wines, five new-world wines and the two Moët.

A luxury Christmas hamper on this page never lets the bottles crowd out the food. The Baron's Banquet has four wines beside more than sixty food products. That ratio is the difference between a prestigious hamper and an expensive case of wine with a basket around it.

Luxury Christmas Hampers with Four Wines in Wicker

Between the alcohol-free giants and the Trumps All sit the luxury Christmas hampers that most senders in this tier choose: four wines beside a full traditional and gourmet selection in a 22 inch lidded wicker hamper. The Provincial Excellency carries thirty-one full-sized food items and four old-world wines, with Bandon Vale and Carrigaline cheeses, Willie's single estate truffles, Skelligs gin truffles and orange brittle, Secotto coffee and SD Bells tea around the large Holmes pudding, mince pies, red velvet cake and chocolate log. The Christmas Party Infinite Ideas carries a New World Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, an Italian DOC prosecco and a premium shiraz beside its cheese, Lily O'Brien's dessert collection, Pandora Bell jellies, Holmes caramel fingers and Miena's pistachio nougat. The Lord's Laud and the Baron's Banquet take the same four-wine formula to more than sixty products each.

These are the premium hampers for a large household, or a client who should open something that keeps giving for a fortnight. The wine is named on each product page, and on each of these luxury Christmas hampers the food outnumbers the bottles by ten or more to one.

Wicker, Cases and Restraint

Luxury Christmas hampers on this page arrive in 22 inch lidded wicker hampers, in 18 inch wicker for the Mixed Banquet and Banquet Extravaganza, and in large hamper cases for the Family Favourites and Fabulous Family Favourites. The largest use more than one container because a single basket that could hold sixty full-sized products would not fit through a door. Wicker costs more to buy and to ship than a case, and we use it where the contents justify it rather than to make a hamper look expensive. Our branding on the outside is restrained: negligible livery, no logo turning your gift into our advertisement. A prestigious hamper reads as the sender's taste, not the supplier's.

One honest note on delivery: couriers price the largest hampers by volume rather than weight, so our biggest luxury Christmas hampers carry a higher delivery charge than the rest of the range, and the delivery page states where that applies. It is the one place on the site where the size of the gift changes the cost of sending it.

Prestigious Hampers for Clients and Colleagues

Corporate buyers are the natural senders of many of the luxury Christmas hampers on this page, and the Celestial Giants, the Moët and Deli, the Banquet Extravaganza and the Provincial Excellency all say so on their product pages. For a business order our corporate team invoices for bank transfer, provides a per-item VAT breakdown, includes your printed insert or branded card, and coordinates delivery to many addresses across Ireland, Great Britain and Europe. The one rule that does not bend is the destination rule: no alcohol outside the EU, so the alcohol-free giants are the luxury hampers for a client in Zurich.

Hand Packed in Ireland for Christmas 2026

Every luxury Christmas hamper is packed by hand in Ireland, by the team that takes the order. The largest are packed last and checked twice, because a hamper of sixty products has sixty places to be wrong. Dispatch is ours. The final mile belongs to our courier partners, tracked and signed for, with email updates to you. In December we run a weekly delivery schedule across all thirty-two counties, and the Christmas delivery date you choose is the latest day that week the hamper will arrive.

Stock permitting, every premium hamper on this page is available in Ireland from September. If the recipient does not drink, the Traditional Grand or the Grand Colossus. If the destination is outside the EU, one of the two alcohol-free giants. If the gift should announce itself with champagne, the Moët and Deli Celestial Giant. If the recipient cares about the food above all, the Great Taste Award Diamond or the Provincial Excellency. If the recipient wants the ham and the salmon, the Royal Connections, the Fabulous Family Favourites or the Trumps All. And if none of that is needed, the middle tier of our range carries the same products in smaller numbers, and we would rather say so than sell you a basket you do not need.

How do I know the prestige is real and I am not paying for a basket and tissue paper?

Weigh it, and read the contents list. A luxury hamper made of full-sized products from named makers weighs what those products weigh; one made of a heavy basket and miniatures does not, and the difference is obvious the moment it is lifted. Every product page here lists each item with its maker and its weight, and the photograph shows the products laid out in front of the container with nothing added for the picture. Prestige you can verify is the only kind worth paying for.

Is the Trumps All really one hamper, and how does it arrive?

It is one gift in three containers: a 22 inch wicker hamper, a large hamper case and a giant white basket, packed together and delivered together. One hundred and twenty-five full-sized products, including ten wines and two bottles of Moët and Chandon, do not fit through a door in one basket. The product page lists every item. It is built for a large family or a business that wants one gift to be the whole of Christmas.

Which luxury hampers carry the giant ham?

The Royal Connections, the Fabulous Family Favourites and the Trumps All each carry a Brady's giant ham joint, with Ummera smoked organic salmon and McGeough's air-dried lamb and beef beside it. The Artisan Feast carries a large cooked ham. These are chilled hampers, packed with a cold pack and dated at dispatch and sent overnight within Ireland, and the ham allocation is the first to sell out each year.

Does delivery cost more for the biggest hampers?

For the largest, yes. Couriers price very large parcels by volume rather than weight, so our biggest luxury hampers carry a higher delivery charge than the standard rate, and the delivery page states where that applies. Below that level the standard Irish rate covers all thirty-two counties. If several hampers are going to one address, the second and subsequent hampers are delivered at half the rate.

Why do some of these have fewer items than a cheaper hamper elsewhere but cost more?

Because every item is the full retail size from a named producer, and because the food outweighs the wine. A luxury hamper elsewhere at a similar price may carry thirty items with several minis and a heavy basket; the Grand Colossus carries fifty-one full-sized products and the Lord's Laud sixty-two. The way to judge is weight and the contents list, both of which are on the product page, rather than the number of things in the photograph.

Traditional Grand or Grand Colossus: both alcohol free, both wicker, so which one?

The Christmas Traditional Grand is thirty-one full-sized items built around the traditional foods and two County Cork cheeses. The Grand Colossus is fifty-one, adding a magnetic valise beside the wicker and a far larger chocolate, biscuit, tea and coffee selection, including Butlers Platinum, Lindt hot chocolate and Willie's single estate truffles. The Grand is a complete traditional Christmas hamper; the Colossus is a fortnight of Christmas. Choose by how many people will open it.
