A Christmas hamper with regional products stands out among standard hampers. You give something tasty and a story: who made it, where it comes from and why it is special. In our shop in Volendam we help customers put together such a hamper every year. These are our tips.
1. Start with a flavour maker
A beautiful jar or grinder of Zeeuwsche Zoute is the perfect base. Artisanal sea salt from the Oosterschelde, pure or with a twist such as smoked or samphire. Choose a luxury gift box to make it extra festive.
2. Add something sweet
The Best Liquorice Ever by Klepper & Klepper is a hit with liquorice lovers. Not sure about the flavour? The 3-pack gift box has three. Or go classic with Spakenburg stroopwafels.
3. Something for the Christmas lunch
Finish the hamper with Volendam fish soup or lobster soup: just heat it up and a festive starter is on the table. For those who want to go big, there is a tray of 6.
4. Make it personal
Write a card explaining why you chose these products. Don't know what someone likes? Give a gift card and let the recipient choose.
