Christmas is right around the corner and you know what that means: pop-up events, Christmas light-ups but most importantly, gifts!
This season of giving, shower the people around you with some love with the classic gift hamper. While these gorgeous packages tend to be on the pricier end, we found a few stores with products under $100, so no one has to break the bank. From customisable hampers to those with addictive salted egg snacks, here are 10 stores you can purchase your hampers from:
Known for their ethically produced craft chocolates, Hello Chocolate carries packets of unique flavours such as Crystallized Ginger with Matcha Green and Pecans with Maple Cinnamon.

The best part is that you can pick any of the products from their chocolate collection, and add on a Bamboo Gift Basket ($10) to get a customised hamper made to your liking. A bar of chocolate on their site is priced from $10 onwards, and each basket can fit about 5-10 bars. If you’re only planning to grab a few bars, there’s also the option of a Japanese-style Linen Furoshiki ($5) to wrap them in daintily.
