It might seem simple but it isn’t. Making a hamper can be quite a task. When making a hamper basket at home, there are things you need to keep in mind. Hence, check this out: –

• Prep: -Two days or few days advance preparation is required. You cannot run around in a day and find ribbons, wrappers and a big basket. Plus, if you are including some gifts which you are buying some outside then buy it in advance and once you have collected all the needful items, sit down and prepare.
• Make a list: -Once you have all the items, make a list. You can do this before too. But after the things have come, check what else is needed and how you are going to go about it. Plan it well and don’t just plan it in the head. If you want label items which need to put in order.

• Decide a theme: –Yes, this is a cute idea. Decide a theme for the hamper. This will make your work of thinking of gifts easier. You can make the basket of several themes like, movies, spa, song, fiction, TV series, food, gardening, sports and many others.

• Budget: -Decide your budget too. Remember if you are sending hamper delivery in UK then the money of it will cost you too. Plus do not go over to the top if your budget is restricting you. Make sure everything fits your bill well. For a food related hamper, you can bake or try making all the items at home. And cookies will hardly cost anything. If you are going the fancier way then calculate all the rates and then decide which theme and things to pick up or include.

• The items: -The contents have been decided and now you have to know how to put them. If you are baking things then decide something that will last long and they can store it for days. Do not go complicated when it comes to cakes and other desserts. The leaking sauce or chocolate can ruin the hamper. Assemble all the items in one place and label them. Make little notes for each of them and put it.

• Containers: –Finding the appropriate container can be an issue. See which boxes are good and will not break while delivering items across the countries. Pack the gifts well in the containers. And put the notes you wrote in the previous step on them with a thread. Make sure you seal the containers well.

• The final part: –In this step, you have to check your list and see if the packing is fine and looks decorative. If not then add some decorations on the basket too. Do not forget to paste a gift card on top of basket. Once you are done wrapping it, check again!

These homemade hacks are your Savior. Since you are designing your own hamper, you can always rearrange it till it is sent.
