Christmas is one of the best times of year to send food gifts.

A hamper can be shared with the family, enjoyed over the festive period or sent as a thoughtful present to someone who lives far away.

If you’re looking for Christmas hampers from Devon in 2026, there are several styles worth considering.

1. Devon cream tea

A Christmas cream tea can be a lovely alternative to conventional chocolate or biscuit gifts.

Explore the Cream & Afternoon Tea Hampers collection for traditional cream tea and afternoon tea options.

The Devon Cream Tea by Post provides scones, clotted cream, jam and Devonshire tea.

2. Afternoon tea for Christmas

For a more substantial gift, the Afternoon Tea Hamper combines cream tea essentials with brownie, flapjack and shortbread.

It can work particularly well as a gift for couples.

3. Afternoon tea and cake

If your recipient has a serious sweet tooth, consider the Afternoon Tea & Cake Hamper.

It combines the traditional cream tea experience with additional cakes and sweet treats.

4. Devon food hamper

For families, a broader food selection may be more suitable.

The Devon Food Hampers collection provides several options.

A larger mixed hamper can be placed on the table and shared throughout the festive period.

5. Cake and biscuit gifts

Christmas and biscuits go together naturally.

Explore the Cake & Biscuit Hampers collection for sweet gift ideas.

The Biscuit & Cake Lovers Basket is another option for someone who enjoys tea-time treats.

6. Cheese and savoury Christmas gifts

Not everyone wants another box of chocolates.

The Cheese & Savoury Hampers collection provides alternatives built around savoury foods.

7. Cider and cheese

For adults who enjoy a savoury sharing selection, the Cider & Cheese Hamper combines cheese, snacks, chutney and cider.

8. Afternoon Tea Nibbles

The Afternoon Tea Nibbles hamper offers a smaller selection of tea-time treats and includes a natural jute bag.

This can be suitable for someone who enjoys snacks rather than a large hamper.

9. Create a personalised Christmas hamper

A personalised gift can be especially useful when buying for someone with particular tastes.

The Create Your Own Hamper option lets you create a selection around the recipient.

10. Choose a gift they’ll actually enjoy

Christmas gifting isn’t about finding the biggest box.

Think about the recipient.

Do they love cream tea? Choose a cream tea.

Do they love cake? Choose a cake and biscuit hamper.

Do they prefer cheese and savoury snacks? Choose a savoury hamper.

Do they enjoy trying different foods? Choose a broader Devon food hamper.

Christmas ordering tip

Christmas is a busy delivery period, so avoid leaving food gifts until the last minute.

Check the current delivery information and product availability before ordering, particularly when your gift contains chilled or perishable products.

A little planning can make the difference between a relaxed Christmas gift and a last-minute delivery worry.
