The Christmas countdown is officially on, so it’s the perfect time to think about how you’re going to make sure your festive period is as merry as possible.

While wine and beauty advent calendars offer a great way to get excited for the big day, should you be looking to give the gift of all things food and booze, a hamper is the perfect option.

The first selection that might spring to mind is Fortnum & Mason’s grand offerings, but for something more pocket-friendly, yet still luxurious, you can’t go wrong with Aldi.

With prices starting from just £49.99, the affordable supermarket offers festive indulgence on a budget while catering for everyone from oenophiles to afternoon-tea lovers.

Savoury snacks and sweet treats feature alongside sparkling wines and delicious puddings, so these hampers really are a foodie’s dream. The hampers rival Fortnum & Mason’s, yet cost far less, so read on for everything there is to know about the new range for 2022.
