Toklas Bakery Christmas hamper

If you can't get to Toklas Bakery in London, you can still have a generous piece of it this Christmas with the nationwide delivery of their decadent Christmas hamper. One for grown-up sweet tooths, it is filled with classic festive treats, including mince pies, traditional German stollen and a marzipan-topped Christmas cake. Our highlight was the soft and chewy ginger molasses cookies, rolled in demerara sugar for extra crunch. Jam, granola, coffee and wine complete this luxurious delivery that will keep you going for the whole Christmas period.

Macknade Ultimate Kent Foodie Hamper

• Available from Macknade (£100)

Best regional hamper

We love this hamper as a great way of discovering independent, artisan brands. A deep dive into the Kent food scene, there's a wide range of sweet and savoury treats, plus drinks. Highlights for us were the large bottle of Owlet Kent pear juice, the spicy sweet chilli jam and the local lager. It's a great one for sharing as there's something for all tastes, and a lovely way to support local.
