Xmas hamper

A_Sober_Paddy

Hey all,

Looking for some help putting a hamper together.

So for my dad and his partner, they like cheese. So was thinking of 5 cheeses, crackers and wine. Anything else I could put into it to fill it up a bit. Preferably vegetarian.

Some sort of chutney would be nice with cheese if they'd eat that sort of thing.

Olives, tapenade, humus

He makes all his own hummus, but olives and tapenade is a nice idea

Grapes would be nice.

I see in tesco yesterday they had fig preserve in small jar beside the cheeses in the fridges also a citrus one (can't remember name of it). Both go very well with cheese and crackers.

Try to get a jar of quince paste if you're putting in a goat's or blue cheese.
Maybe a bottle of port?
Depending on when you're giving it to them some grapes, figs etc would look very attractive in a hamper, and maybe some fancy bread?
I like to put in a little retro or quirky tin of something to add interest to a hamper, usually paprika https://www.amazon.com/Chiquilin-Sweet-Paprika-Tin/dp/B000NO5CRY easy enough to pick up in Artisan foodie type places and not too expensive.

Maybe some quince jelly?
