In December the hamper goes back to being the most requested gift: it fits on a desk, it gets shared with the family, and it is built from what the person actually likes. This guide is what we ask on WhatsApp before building one, so you arrive with the decision already made.
What is a Christmas hamper?
It is a basket or a box built from several items and presented as a gift: something sweet, something savoury, a drink and one personalized keepsake. What makes it Christmassy is the presentation and what you choose to put inside, not a fixed content list. There are no pre-built hampers waiting on a shelf here: each one is assembled from what you tell us.
What goes inside
- Something sweet: artisan bakery, chocolate-dipped strawberries, decorated cookies or bonbons.
- Something savoury: snacks to pick at. They balance the sweet and are usually the first thing to go.
- A drink: from a juice or a hot chocolate to a wine, depending on who it is for.
- One personalized keepsake: a resin piece, an eternal rose or a keyring with an initial.
- The card: with the name, the date and your message. That is what turns a basket into a gift.
What it costs
Hampers start at $35,000 COP, and from there it depends on the size, how many items go in and the packaging. We do not publish a fixed price because no two hampers are the same: you tell us your budget and we build the best one we can within it. We confirm the final figure on WhatsApp before we start building, never after.
When to order
December is the busiest month of the year and production fills up by date. If the hamper is for a specific day, such as a novena, Christmas Eve dinner or an office delivery, reserve it in November. For a single hamper a few days' notice is usually enough, but between 15 and 24 December the dates close fast.
Where we deliver and what shipping costs
We deliver in Medellín, Envigado, Itagüí, Sabaneta, Bello and La Estrella. Shipping runs between $15,000 and $25,000 COP: it is a flat rate per zone, it does not depend on weight or on the value of the order, only on how far the address is. Same-day delivery adds $5,000 COP and is subject to availability. We deliver Tuesday to Sunday, around the clock; there are no deliveries on Mondays. The detail is on shipping and returns.
Hamper or gift box?
The hamper is larger, built by volume and meant to be shared. The gift box is more contained and thought out for one person. If the gift is for a family or an office, hamper. If it is for someone in particular, box. We go through the difference more slowly in what goes in a hamper.
If you need several for your company
Bulk orders run on different timings and are quoted differently: how many there are, what the budget per person is, and whether they all go to one address or each to its own. We cover that separately in corporate Christmas hampers in Medellín.
