The Serious Guide to Snack Hampers

There are two types of gift hamper in this world. The first is the kind you find in a department store - a wicker basket containing one tiny jar of chutney, some oatcakes nobody asked for, and a great deal of fresh air. The second is the kind we make.

Our snack hampers are boxes of the pub snacks we've spent over a decade perfecting - award - winning Snacking Cheese, proper British charcuterie, crunchy pickles, crisps and corn snacks. No filler, no sawdust - flavoured crackers, no mystery relish. Just snacks people actually want to eat.

Here's the full range, organised by the sort of person you're buying for. Or indeed by the sort of person you are, because self - gifting is a perfectly legitimate lifestyle choice.

First, the two boxes that outsell everything else.

CLASSIC SELECTION SNACK BOX

The perfect introduction. If they've never tried Serious Pig before, start here. A well priced tour of our favourites that tends to create repeat customers, which is entirely the point.

SERIOUS SELECTION BOX

The step up. Everything that makes the Classic good, but more of it. For the person whose snack drawer has a high turnover rate.

Next, the boxes for cheese people. You know one. You may be one.

CHEESE SELECTION BOX

Our award - winning Snacking Cheese, in a box, on its own. Sometimes purity of vision is the answer.

CHEESE & PICKLE SELECTION BOX

The greatest double act in British food history. Cheese and pickle have been carrying this country's lunchtimes for generations, and this box honours the partnership properly.

HAM, CHEESE & PICKLES SELECTION BOX

A ploughman's lunch, in hamper form. All the components of the classic pub plate, minus the pub mark - up and the wobbly table. One of our most giftable boxes.

ULTIMATE CHEESE SELECTION BOX

For the person whose personality is at least 40% cheese. The biggest cheese - focused box we make. If in doubt about whether they'd want this much cheese, they would.

Pickle people are a devoted bunch, so there's a box entirely for them too.

PICKLE SELECTION BOX

Crunchy, tangy, and criminally underrated. Our Snacking Pickles, ready whenever the craving strikes. Which, if they're anything like our customers, is often.

For the meat lovers, two options depending on how focused their devotion is.

CHARCUTERIE SELECTION BOX

British charcuterie, done seriously. A generous spread of our cured meat snacks for the person who considers salami a food group. Pairs beautifully with a cold drink and a total absence of plans.

SALAMI SELECTION BOX

The focused version. All salami, all the time. A very easy gift for a very specific and very common type of person.

And for vegetarians, vegans and crisp purists, we haven't forgotten you.

VEGAN SELECTION BOX

Proof that a Serious Pig hamper doesn't have to involve the pig. Pickles, crisps, corn snacks and more - all completely plant - based, none of it an afterthought.

VEGETARIAN SNACK SELECTION BOX

The meat - free selection with cheese firmly included, because we're not monsters.

CRISPS SELECTION BOX

A multipack of our crisps for the person who believes, correctly, that crisps are a love language. One of the easiest gifts on this page.

Which leaves the big one.

ULTIMATE SELECTION BOX

Every snack we make. All of them. Cheese, charcuterie, crisps, pickles and corn - making it the best value hamper we sell. If you can't decide which box to buy, this is the box that means never having to decide. Ideal for big occasions, big households, or one person with admirable commitment.

THE PRACTICAL BIT

Shipping is free on orders over £35, which the bigger boxes clear comfortably - and the rest can be nudged over with a pack or two of something extra. We're just saying.

All our snacks are gluten free and safe for coeliacs across the entire range. Nothing needs the fridge either, so a box can sit under a tree, in a cupboard, or on a doorstep without drama.

If you're sending it as a gift, add a free gift note at checkout, or a personalised greeting card for a small fee. There are no receipts in the box, so the recipient will never know how reasonable the price was.

IN SUMMARY

After a sure thing that won't break the bank? Classic Selection or Crisps Box. Buying for a cheese person? You know what to do. Feeding a crowd or simply refusing to compromise? The Ultimate Selection is the best value we offer.

Whoever it's for, they get a box of seriously good snacks and you get to be the person who gave the gift that actually got eaten. Everybody wins, except the department store hamper.
