Woven Christmas Hamper Basket with Lid

Build your own Christmas hamper with this woven basket shaped like a little house. It arrives empty, so you choose what goes inside: chocolates, biscuits, jams, small presents, a bottle of something festive or a few personal extras. A hinged lid keeps everything tucked away until the big reveal, and the arched handle on top makes it easy to carry to a friend's door or place under the tree.

The weave is made from synthetic rattan, a plastic strand that gives the classic wicker look without the splintering or fraying of natural cane. Two square window cut-outs on each side let a glimpse of the gifts show through, and two small cream wooden beads on wire loops fasten the lid. It comes in a warm honey brown and a soft olive green, both neutral enough to dress up with ribbon, tissue and a sprig of greenery.

It is just as useful once the holidays are over. Use it as a tabletop organiser for magazines, toys, cosmetics, bread or everyday odds and ends, or bring it out again for birthdays, picnics and housewarming gifts. Packed with care, the basket is a single piece, so it is simple to wrap, tie a bow on and hand over. Contents shown in photos are for styling only and are not included.
