Okay, I know its a little early but the festive season will be here before you know it. And If you are anything like me – spending hours scanning the internet – September is the perfect time to start looking for that special gift.
I was fortunate enough to be chosen by Prestige Hampers to receive one of their fantastic Christmas hampers to review. I was delighted and intrigued. I had never actually bought or been given a hamper before so I was really looking forward to receiving one.
I was delighted when I found out that my hamper would come in the form of a Connoseiur Wine Case – Someone must have told Prestige Hampers that I liked wine? Now I had a valid excuse to sample more.
The Perfect Dolls House?
My hamper arrived in a large well-sealed box, fantastically packaged. My little girl loved rummaging through the paper shavings and bubble wrap, I think she thought that was the actual gift. There was also a personalized card attached too which made me smile. Who doesn’t like the personal touch?
I let out a “wow” when I saw the beautiful pine wooden case amidst all the packaging. It was so lovely, and not at all what I expected. The case had two neat little fasteners on each side and a carry handle. It could definitely be used again once the wines had been consumed (I’m suspecting that won’t be too long) I already had thoughts on storing my large array of delicate teas inside but my little one had different ideas.
“Mummy can I use the case as a dolls house”
Upon opening the box you could immediately see a selection of 6 full sized wines, neatly stacked in lines.
To be honest, my taste in wine varies, sometimes after a long day I love to relax with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc, it just seems to hit the spot. Other days I enjoy a glass of merlot with my dinner (It goes lovely with Roasted Chicken and Thyme or Lamb Burgers)
I am by no means a wine connoisseur but I do enjoy a good quality wine. I confess, upon writing this review I had already begun to sample the delights of the Andean Peaks Sauvignon Blanc, a very crisp tasting wine and the Sierra Creek Red, which was smooth and surprisingly light. They were delicious.
With this hamper, I was spoilt for choice – decisions, decisions.

These gorgeous hampers would make fantastic gifts for friends or family. I already have my eye on a couple of their Christmas food hampers for two special friends. I hope they are not reading this.
If you’re stuck for Christmas pressies why not give Prestige Hampers a look. They offer a fantastic selection of hampers ranging from seasonal treat boxes to luxury food hampers. They also offer a wonderful fresh food selection hamper too, all at affordable prices. The only dilemma you may face is which one to chose.
