The Changing Nature of Christmas Hampers

Shaftesbury, United Kingdom, November 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- From its inception in 1984, Virginia Hayward Ltd has grown to be one of the leading suppliers of hampers and gifts within the UK. Based on its commitment from the outset to produce a range of gifts which were 'elegant, high in quality, unusual and excellent value for money'. Director Gin Hayward is pleased to launch the latest range of exciting hampers and gifts to coincide with the company's 25th Anniversary, "We're delighted to be able to produce a strong range this Christmas and celebrate a major milestone in a year which promises to be tough for all mail order retailers".

As much a part of Christmas as holly and ivy, Christmas hampers are a favourite gift for all the family, but have changed greatly since the first Virginia Hayward hamper was despatched 25 years ago. Gone are the pates, soups and fruits in alcohol of yesteryear, replaced by nostalgic sweets and fresh foods.

Buying Manager Samantha Sandison says, "We're always striving to find the best of local, national and international produce for inclusion in our hampers, as well as showing innovation in the products that we select". Sandison adds, "It's always a pleasure to see new ideas and gift foods presented by suppliers which we can incorporate into our hampers".

The Virginia Hayward Christmas range is currently available for sale on the company's website with the majority of items available for delivery until the 23rd December 2009.
