Christmas Hampers
A hamper is an all-inclusive gifting basket. Families, friends, and even businesses exchange hampers with one another. The idea of a Christmas hamper is that it is a bundle of joy – a basket full of thoughtful gifts. Each hamper is unique to its recipient. The Works stocks various types of hampers depending on your budget.
Small hampers go as low as £4.00. The basket itself is a significant part of the presentation, as most recipients tend to find other uses for the basket. At The Works, you don’t just get a basket, you also get a tartan ribbon and some wood filling. The fun of Christmas hampers is picking out the items that go in it. You can do this as a family or with colleagues.
Popular items that into a hamper include wine, chocolates, butter, packaged meat, and biscuits. The more personalized you can make it, the better.
Christmas Crackers
Christmas Crackers are one of the UK’s favourite Christmas traditions. It was invented sometime around the mid-1840s by a sweet trader named Tom Smith. A cracker looks like an oversized sweet wrapped in a colourful paper decoration. It is made from cardboard and contains little thoughtful gifts that can only be revealed when the two ends come apart.
For that to happen, two people have to pull both ends, making a mild snapping sound or crack as it comes apart. This is what gives it its name. The fun of Christmas crackers is that one person ends up with the gifts while the other person ends up with nothing.
The Works sells crackers that are kid-friendly also those that are adult-appropriate. In December, The Works offers a Christmas crackers sale with unbeatable prices for as low as £1.00 for a pack of 6. Order some for your family this Christmas and have them delivered right to your doorstep.
Christmas Eve Boxes
Much like hampers, Christmas Eve boxes are for gifting. The difference is that the boxes are mostly covered only to be opened on Christmas Eve. Stack a box full of gifts for your kids and watch how excited they get on Christmas Eve. It is also a perfect gifting package for the neighbours.
Board Games & Jigsaw Puzzles
Every festivity could always use a good board game and jigsaw puzzle. Whether you are hosting a big party or having a private family moment at home, board games and puzzles make for a great way to pass the time.
When it comes to Christmas, the possibilities are endless. Spread the cheer this Christmas by personalizing a few hampers to friends and colleagues, snapping a few Christmas crackers with the kids, and staying warm by playing board games indoors.
