It's finally that time of the year and here are some gifting ideas so that you don't have to do the thinking!

Every Hallmark Christmas movie has that one scene. Someone opens a gift, pauses, and you can tell—this one’s a hit. No polite smile, no forced thank-you hug, just genuine excitement. Now, translate that moment to real life and swap the gift for a box of really good food—that’s the appeal of a well-chosen Christmas gift for a foodie.
Let’s be honest: food lovers are hard to shop for. They don’t want knick-knacks. They don’t need another novelty kitchen tool. What they want is flavour, craft, and something indulgent or unique—food they wouldn’t make every day. Gifts they can open, taste, and then save for special occasions.
The modern Christmas hamper has evolved. Gone are the days of plain biscuit tins and filler chocolates. Today’s best hampers are carefully curated, packed with small-batch treats, artisanal condiments, festive baked goods, and bottles that feel just celebratory enough. They reflect how we eat now: curious, considered, and invested in where our food comes from and who makes it.
There’s something undeniably cinematic about food as a gift. It invites sharing, lingering, and extra celebration—whether you assemble an impromptu cheese board, save a special jar for Christmas morning, or stretch the contents across long, lazy evenings. These gifts don’t just get opened; they get used.
If you prefer flavour over flash and pleasure over permanence, these Christmas gift hampers hit all the right notes. Thoughtful, delicious, and perfect for people who believe the best gifts are edible—here are hampers that food lovers will genuinely be excited to unwrap this season. Choose one now, and make someone’s Christmas truly memorable.

Call Me Chunky Ice Cream Duos

If there’s one brand that understands the joy of excess—extra chunks, extra textures, extra drama—it’s Call Me Chunky. Their Ice Cream Duos are built for people who don’t want to choose just one flavour, but also don’t want anything watered down. Each box pairs two distinct personalities, designed to be eaten slowly, enthusiastically, and with zero restraint. Whether your idea of a perfect scoop involves deep chocolate, crunchy caramel, or fruity tang, there’s a duo here that delivers.

The chocolate magic duo is for those who treat chocolate like a food group. On one side, the choco brownie ice cream leans into intense dark chocolate, paired with it is the fudgy rocky road, a more playful but equally decadent option. It is ridiculously creamy and packed with crispy almonds, chocolate chips, and soft marshmallows.

For those who love contrast just as much as sweetness, the pop and charm caramel combo leans into texture in the best way possible. The cookie caramel ice cream is rich caramel folded into a creamy base, with buttery cookie pieces that add just the right amount of bite. The pop-pop caramel features chunky caramel popcorn and chocolate-coated almonds.

And for those who gravitate towards fruit-forward flavours, the berry potion combo offers a lighter but no less indulgent experience. The berry cheesy dream (strawberry cheesecake ice ream) brings together the sweetness of strawberries with rich cheesecake bits, all folded into a creamy base that feels classic but comforting. Alongside it, the raspy choc white (white chocolate raspberry ice cream) delivers contrast: smooth white chocolate sweetness sharpened by the tart pop of raspberry. 

For anyone who takes their dessert seriously, this is a hamper addition that won’t last long in the freezer!

Price: All Tub Combos (660ml)- INR 1,257, All Pint Combos (330ml)- INR 761

Royce’ Chocolate’s Nutcracker Gift Box

The Royce’ chocolate nutcracker gift box is designed for those who appreciate the kind of cacao that lets quality do the talking, especially perfect for crunch and nut lovers.

At the heart of the hamper is the nutty bar chocolate, a set of finger-sized chocolate bars generously studded with four different types of nuts. Each bar strikes a careful balance between smooth chocolate and crunch, making it ideal for slow snacking rather than dramatic dessert moments. With six pieces in the box, it’s the kind of chocolate you reach for with coffee, after dinner, or whenever you want something rich but restrained.

The box also includes Royce’ baton cookies—25 slim, delicate biscuit sticks coated in chocolate, known for their clean snap and understated sweetness. You can choose the variant, making this gift feel just a little more personal. The choice includes the coconut variant, fromage variant, and the hazel cacao variant. Light, crisp, and easy to return to, they offer a textural contrast to the nutty bars and are perfect for sharing (or not!).

All of this comes neatly presented in a red gift box with a bow on top, making it the perfect festive cheer for chocolate lovers. With a shelf life of up to three months for both the chocolates and cookies, this is a gift that can be enjoyed at leisure rather than rushed through. 

Price: INR 3,205 for both the chocolate and cookie box

Bombay Sweet Shop’s Strawberry Chocolate Gift Box

If festive gifting had a flavour profile, this box would land firmly in the fun, fruity, chocolate-forward zone. Bombay Sweet Shop’s Strawberry Chocolate Gift Box is designed for those who love strawberries, chocolate, and strawberry-flavoured chocolate!

Inside, the box brings together a mix of chocolate barks, bars, and toffees. The choco butterscotch barks (90g) combine rich chocolate with crunchy butterscotch bits, delivering that satisfying snap-and-crunch moment in every piece. Alongside it sits the berry bar, a chocolate bar that foregrounds berry notes, balancing sweetness with a hint of tartness.

Adding to the variety is the berry caramel toffee, a chewy, candy-like element that introduces a softer texture and a gentle caramel richness, rounded off with fruity undertones. The star of the box, however, is the generous portion of strawberry choco barks (200g)—bold, vibrant slabs of chocolate infused with strawberry flavour, offering a playful sweetness that feels both festive and familiar.

There’s no single note here; instead, it invites you to dip in, mix flavours, and keep discovering something new with every bite. Bright, indulgent, and undeniably cheerful, Bombay Sweet Shop’s strawberry chocolate gift box is ideal for anyone who enjoys dessert that doesn’t take itself too seriously!

Cashmir Vodka

Some bottles make sense as Christmas gifts, not because they’re flashy, but because they carry a story worth sharing. Cashmir Vodka falls firmly into that category. As India’s first premium small-batch organic craft vodka, it brings together heritage, craftsmanship, and a sense of occasion—making it an especially fitting pick for festive gifting.

What sets Cashmir apart begins with its base. The vodka is crafted from Sona Moti, a rare organic heritage winter wheat that dates back over 2,000 years. Often referred to as the “Golden Pearl,” this non-GMO, non-hybrid grain was painstakingly revived after coming close to extinction, adding a layer of meaning that goes beyond the glass. Combined with Himalayan glacial water sourced from the valleys of Kashmir, the result is a spirit rooted deeply in place and provenance—qualities that increasingly matter to discerning drinkers.

In terms of craftsmanship, Cashmir is distilled seven times and precision-filtered five times. It’s the kind of vodka that works just as well sipped neat as it does in simple, elegant cocktails—perfect for long Christmas evenings, low-key celebrations, or a carefully mixed drink shared with friends.

Inspired by the calm, untouched beauty of the Kashmir Valley, Cashmir is recognised on the global stage. It makes for a Christmas gift that feels intentional, elevated, and ideal for someone who appreciates fine spirits, thoughtful sourcing, and the quiet luxury of something well made.

Price: INR 1,800 – 3,500 (varies with state)

It’s a gentle reminder that Christmas doesn’t have to arrive all at once—it can unfold slowly, deliciously, and with intention.

What makes this advent calendar especially gift-worthy is the exciting sense of ritual. It’s not just something to open and finish in a day, but something to return to daily—whether as a quiet morning treat, a post-dinner reward, or a moment shared with family. For chocolate lovers, festive traditionalists, or anyone who enjoys stretching out the joy of the season, Smoor’s advent calendar is a thoughtful Christmas gift that lets Christmas joy unfold one gift and day at a time.

FINO Rosado

Think premium, highest quality tequila, and then multiply that by 10. That’s what FINO tequila is.

If Christmas gifting is about picking something celebratory with a story behind it, FINO Tequila fits the brief effortlessly, especially for alcohol connoisseurs. Born in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, FINO is an artisanal tequila brand founded by Indian cricket legend Yuvraj Singh along with a collective of entrepreneurs.

Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave, FINO draws its character from Jalisco’s famed red soil and unique climate, which naturally produces a sweeter agave with a more intense aroma. The result is a tequila that feels authentic, expressive, and rooted in place—exactly what you want when gifting a spirit meant to be sipped and appreciated rather than rushed.

Among its four distinctive variants, FINO Rosado stands out as a special festive pick. A rosé-inspired tequila with a delicate blush-pink hue, Rosado is infused with red berry notes and soft floral undertones, striking a balance between elegance and boldness. It’s visually striking and flavour-forward without overwhelming the palate—ideal for those who enjoy innovative spirits that still respect traditional tequila-making.

As a Christmas gift, it feels celebratory, looks beautiful on a bar cart, and offers something a little different from the usual bottles in rotation. Whether gifted to a tequila enthusiast, a cocktail lover, or someone who appreciates thoughtfully crafted spirits with global roots, FINO Rosado is a bottle that brings both flavour and flair to the festive season.

Price: INR 34,038

Éntisi’s Christmas Heritage Hamper

Entisi’s Christmas heritage hamper is a thoughtfully curated box that captures the warmth of the season through a selection of the brand’s most loved gourmet chocolates, perfect for cacao lovers (like me!).

Inside, the hamper brings together a balanced mix of textures and intensities. The chocolate truffles offer a smooth, indulgent start—rich without being overwhelming, and perfect for slow, after-dinner sweet cravings.

The Classic 41% milk bar delivers a creamy, well-rounded sweetness, ideal for those who prefer their chocolate comforting and familiar rather than intense. For contrast, the extra dark macaroon introduces a deeper, more pronounced cocoa note, adding balance to the assortment and appealing to darker chocolate lovers.

A festive highlight of the box is the Christmas chocolate ornament, filled with six assorted slims—an elegant nod to the season that feels celebratory without being kitschy. Rounding things off is a peppermint chocolate lollipop, bringing a refreshing finish and a gentle festive twist to the collection.

This box is perfect for gifting to hosts, colleagues, or anyone who appreciates well-made chocolate with a seasonal touch, as a reminder that sometimes, the most satisfying gifts are the ones that keep things simple—and delicious.
