Picnic Hampers

Picnic gift hampers (sometimes called "picnic gift baskets" or "picnic packs") are boxes or wicker baskets with a collection of items your giftee can enjoy on a celebratory picnic. Picnic gift hampers are different from picnic baskets because hampers are usually given as a gift, while baskets are enjoyed by the packer. Maggie's most popular picnic hamper is the Family Gatherings With Sparkling Chardonnay Hamper. It features burnt toffee popcorn and cocoa-dusted cashews, lemon white chocolate almonds, dark chocolate almonds, quince and champagne paste, salted brandy caramel, Seville marmalade, spiced pear paste, verjuice, strawberry and elderberry cordial, and sparkling chardonnay.

If you're looking to create your own picnic hamper, we recommend adding the following items:

• Bread and crackers
• Nuts
• Cheese
• Seasonal fruits
• Cured meats
• Potato rolls
• A dozen oysters or prawns
• Quince paste
• Olive oil and dukkah for dipping

If you're looking to buy a pre-made picnic hamper, Maggie's luxury picnic gift baskets are a great choice. They're packed with crackers, nuts, pastes, marmalade, jam, cordial, sweet treats, dukkah, wine, and goodies from brands like Maggie Beer, GRP, San Martino, Hentley Farm, and Kangaroo Island Olives.

You can put any kind of food that your gift recipient might like in their hamper. Crackers, olives, nuts, dips, pastes, and dukkah are all common additions to a picnic hamper. If you're making fresh food to pack in a hamper, roast chicken, a spring salad, fresh seafood, a couscous salad, and an heirloom tomato salad are all great gourmet choices.

Here's how to pack a picnic hamper:

1. Assemble your items and separate perishable items from non-perishable items.
2. Get your picnic basket and line it with packing materials to protect the contents.
3. Arrange your non-perishable items in the basket neatly.
4. Add your perishable items to the top of the hamper so they can be removed quickly and easily.
5. Decorate your hamper with ribbons.
6. Write in a card and stick it to your hamper.

Yes, we offer several picnic hampers that have the perfect amount of food for two people.  The Italian Inspired Gift Pack is one such hamper. It includes olive oil, burnt fig jam, saffron and lemon vinaigrette, Seville marmalade, spiced Seville cordial, and fig and almond panforte. Another great choice is the Sweet Snacking Gift Pack. It treats the happy couple to dark chocolate almonds, lemon white chocolate almonds, cocoa-dusted peanuts and almonds, and burnt toffee popcorn and cocoa-dusted cashews. If you're looking for a picnic basket gift for a couple, we recommend Maggie's Gourmet Grazing Hamper With Sparkling Chardonnay. It features almonds, sea salt crackers, spiced pear paste, tomato and sultana chutney, quince paste, olives, and non-alcoholic sparkling wine.

We can deliver our picnic hampers to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin, and many regional destinations around Australia. We can't deliver internationally because of import restrictions.

If you or your gift recipient isn't home to collect the picnic hamper, the delivery person will leave the hamper if Authority To Leave (ATL) has been provided. Otherwise, it will be taken to the nearest post office for pick-up.
