Gift hampers are a seasonal business: the basket has to sit right for a photograph in September, arrive at the assembly line in October, take a two-bottle wine set plus a wrapper by mid-November, and stack on a retail plinth in December. This page is a shortlist for exactly that calendar.
What buyers ask for on this category
- Sizes tuned to hamper contents, not general storage. Two-bottle wine, gourmet grazing, spa set, and Christmas signature — each fits a different interior footprint. HMD works from your top-selling hamper of the previous season.
- Weave tight enough to keep small items in. Water hyacinth and seagrass are woven tightly for gift work so a wrapped chocolate does not slip through the base. Loose ends are trimmed at the QC line, not left for the assembler to remove.
- Optional lid, printed hangtag, and branded liner. Full private-label programme available: hangtag, care card, cotton liner in buyer print. Barcodes printed as supplied.
- Container timing that hits an October arrival. For a December retail push, confirm PO by early July. HMD holds container slots for hamper buyers who repeat annually.

Container maths
A 20-foot container typically carries 500–650 nested tray and lidded sets across three to four gift SKUs. A 40-foot high-cube typically carries 1,300–1,600 sets, ideal for a full seasonal hamper programme with two lidded sizes plus tray sets.
Frequently asked
What is the lead time for a Christmas hamper programme?
For an October arrival at destination port, confirm PO by early July. Standard designs ship six to eight weeks from PO; add three to five days for consolidation and roughly three to five weeks of ocean freight depending on destination. Custom sizes add two to three weeks for sampling.
Can you match a supplied hamper reference?
Yes. Send a physical sample or a hi-res photograph with interior dimensions and HMD samples against it at a two-week lead time. Common hamper sizes for two-bottle wine, gourmet grazing, and spa sets are quoted quickly from the standard tooling library.
Do you supply a matching cotton liner?
Yes. Cream, kraft, and buyer-branded print liners are available as an add-on SKU sized to the basket interior. Minimum liner run is 200 units per colour. Liners are typically bagged separately for the hamper assembly team, not pre-inserted.
What is the MOQ for a seasonal hamper programme?
MOQ is 300 to 500 units per SKU. Seasonal buyers typically confirm three SKUs across two shapes (tray and lidded) to cover a full assortment. Repeat buyers can carry stock into a second season if the hamper concept is durable — HMD holds the tooling for confirmed repeats.
Can we private label the hangtag and care card?
Yes. Hangtags are printed to buyer-supplied artwork at additional charge; care cards can be co-branded or fully buyer-branded. Barcodes (EAN/UPC) are printed as supplied. Minimum for private-label print is one full SKU run.
What is the HS code and duty position for gift baskets?
HS 4602.19.90 covers handwoven basketwork. Buyers in the EU and UK typically clear at zero duty under GSP; US importers reference HTS 4602.19. HMD invoices with the Form A certificate of origin included on request.
