Fabulously Gourmet Makes Hampers Easy!

Don't know what to buy for a birthday present, baby present, house warming party, Mother's Day or Father's Day? What to buy for congratulations to celebrate a graduation, thank someone for the help or just a surprise for your beloved? Well, why give just another gadget? Why not a culinary delight– a Gourmet Gift Box or Hamper?

Fabulously Gourmet would like to thank everyone in supporting the Lort Smith Animal Hospital for Christmas 2009. Lort Smith Hospital provides quality care for over 100,000 lost, abandoned, mistreated and sick animals every year.

Congratulations to Adam Pearson of the ACT for winning the $200 Gourmet items as part of our competition for launching the Gourmet Market Online in December 2009. Congratulations again and thank you to all who participated.

Why Choose Fabulously Gourmet?

Fabulously Gourmet have an extensive range of hampers and gift boxes to suit any occasion and offer a range of payment options to make choosing the perfect item simple. All gourmet food items are sourced either from local Farmer's Markets or from Manufacturers within Australia. We pride ourselves in supporting Australia Made products as we strongly believe Australia has many quality gourmet items to offer. Our hampers also include a full size card (not just a small gift card) designed and made in Australia.

A hamper is primarily a British term for a wicker basket, usually large, that is used for the transport of items, often food. In America, the term generally refers to a household receptacle for dirty clothing, regardless of its composition, i.e. "a laundry hamper". In agricultural use, a hamper is a wide-mouthed container of basketwork that may often be carried on the back during the harvesting of fruit or vegetables by hand in the field. The contents of the hamper may be decanted regularly into larger containers or a cart, wagon or truck.

Up until the mid 20th century, in the Western tradition, the hamper was a basket that could be carried by the donor and physically handed to the recipient. This limited the size of the gift to food ingredients that would last for at most several days, or with other necessities for one to two weeks. The basket itself was a useful item around the house or farm, and any cloth wrapping for the food or lining of the basket would also be usable by the recipient family.

In modern times, the hamper could still be in a basket but it could also be in a custom designed gift box that can be carried containing tinned, jarred or packaged goods. A Christmas hamper is likely to be bigger and have some party or celebratory foods or toys. Hampers can also contain related festive foods used to either thank someone or mark a special occasion such as a Birthday, New born, Father's day, Mother's day or other occasions.

Fabulously Gourmet prides itself in reshaping this concept through meticulous hamper design using gourmet items made in Australia. Furthermore, we offer many hamper combinations to ensure the contents are deliciously tempting even for the most discerning palate.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need a special hamper created for yourself or your corporate customers. Fabulously Gourmet will be most delighted in custom making a hamper to suit your needs.
