The Ultimate Guide to Crafting the Perfect Tipple Hamper

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on creating the perfect Tipple Hamper with us! Whether you are looking to surprise a loved one for a special occasion, treat yourself, or elevate your next gathering with a showstopper, a well-curated Tipple Hamper is sure to impress and leave a lasting positive impression! From fine wines, our range of fruity and more classic flavoured gins, craft spirits, or classic whiskeys, we’ll take you through the steps to assemble a luxurious and personalised selection that will fit any upcoming occasion. But you don’t always need a reason to indulge, treat yourself and unwind with our favourites.

Step 1: Choose your Theme

The first step in curating a fabulous hamper with us is to decide on a theme. Are you celebrating a special occasion? Is there a particular drink that you know would be really appreciated by your recipient that they love? Consider a themed hamper and pack it full of their favourites, or you could pick a few of their different go-to drinks, the choice is all yours! You could curate a great hamper full of your friend’s favourite beers, with a few new ones they haven’t tried before, for a fun flavour adventure. The same can be done for wine, gin, whisky, or whatever their poison of choice is, we will have the one for them to enjoy. A Tipple Hamper can be that perfect pick me up, a way of showing someone you are thinking about them, and are aware of all of their favourites.

Step 2: Select your Beverages

Once you have your particular theme in mind, you can begin to curate the perfect individual selection of drinks for your hamper. Each different personalised hamper can cater to different tastes, such as red wine, white, a sparkling glass of wine or enjoy some bubbles with prosecco. Or mix it up with a range of premium liquors and mixers for a cocktail focused selection. Don’t forget we have non alcoholic options for those who prefer not to drink! No one has to miss out on the fun in receiving a Tipple Hamper. Every drink has been handpicked by our experts to offer you the most full and boasting flavours to enjoy.

Step 3: Add your Mixers & Accompaniments

Enhance your hamper creation experience by including those much needed mixers to your selection. We carry a range of tonics and mixers, perfect to go with a gin or vodka themed hamper, making the drinks ready to be poured! All your lucky friend or family member, who receives one of our great hampers, will have to do is find their favourite glass, if you didn’t already include one of those! The right glassware can really enhance your drinking experience. Whether you're looking for glasses that satisfy an aesthetic purpose or you're trying to tailor your glass around the perfect cocktail, the Tipple Hamper Company offers you an array of characterful, elegant and stylish choices to suit your personality as well as your gin's. As well as stunning gin glasses, we have timeless style rum glasses, craft beer glasses, gorgeous wine glasses, and accessories like a shaker set, or gin jiggers for that perfect serve during cocktail night.

A great tonic can really help to bring the best out of your favourite spirit, and our range offers a selection of refreshing, invigorating and thirst-quenching companions to blend with your favourite gin. We believe that getting the right cocktail mixer or tonic for your spirit will truly transform it from an ordinary drink, into an irresistible signature refreshment. We carry an assortment of different Tree flavoured tonics, from the classic Indian Tonic Water, refreshing Light Sicilian Lemonade, Ginger Ale, and many others, you can find just the perfect one for your hamper creation.

You could also include some snacks to create a really luxurious and indulgent experience to be enjoyed and remembered. Our great snacks include choices such as: gourmet Joe & Seph’s salted caramel popcorn, with its rich sweet and salty flavours, for the lover of a bit of heat you could include a packet of Lapsnack Chilli Puffs, which are rice cracker snacks with a moreish sweet and chilli kick, or why not go with the Heavenly Honeycomb Bar with honeycomb pieces for the sweet chocolate lover. We have a range of other snacks and edible treats, where it is up to you to carefully hand pick your choices to suit your sweet or savoury lover’s taste.

Step 4: Personalise your Presentation

Presentation can be a key factor in creating a showstopper of a gift. We offer different styles, suiting the number of items you wish to send. These include a rustic and great looking wooden presentation box, designed for a single bottle, this also comes available for two bottles, in the double wooden presentation box, and our picnic baskets come in a range of sizes, all up to you and the number of items you wish to include in your hamper. Our picnic baskets are the ideal eco-friendly solution. They are sustainable with wood wool shredding, a natural, timber-based packing solution that’s not only beautiful but also good for the environment, as they can be reused again and again for different occasions, or as a great storage solution.

Another thoughtful way to personalise your hamper is to include a free gift message. This can tell who you are sending this hamper of joy to, just how much they mean to you, and you can tell them to enjoy their special day if it is their birthday or special occasion. This can be the perfect added touch on top of this fantastic gift.

When choosing to create a fantastic drink hamper with us, it’s always best to think about who you are sending it to, and what their favourites are. Choose drinks you know they enjoy and love, but don’t be afraid to select a new drink that they haven’t tried before, as it could soon be their new favourite! Any snacks you add should also fit any dietary requirements. A personalised hamper shows thoughtfulness and care, making it an even more meaningful gift to send.

Once your Tipple Hamper is assembled, it’s time to deliver it to the lucky recipient, or wait to enjoy it yourself! Whether it’s for a special occasion, or just to make a cosy night extra enjoyable, savouring the carefully curated selection of drinks and treats is sure to be a memorable experience. Let us help you to indulge in the little pleasures, by following these simple steps, you can add your personal touches to create a delightfully unique gift to receive.
