Gift hampers can make a lovely present for someone for many occasions – weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, or even just as a way to treat yourself to a selection of products and there’s more value in getting them as part of a hamper. The North East has some fabulous hampers, both pre made and build your own across a huge range of shops. Here’s some of the best local gift hampers from Newcastle, Northumberland and the North East.

Many of these places include largely locally sourced products, from brands specific to the North East. If that’s something you’re looking for either to welcome someone up here, if you’re an Air Bnb or holiday home owner, then it makes for a lovely welcome gift. It’s a good way for people to try a selection of brands and products in one place. These Newcastle gift hampers cover all sorts of products including food, alcohol, treats and savoury choices.

Local Gift Hampers from Newcastle

These hampers are all from stores in or close by to Newcastle itself, the city centre and some of the nearby suburbs. Local gift hampers Newcastle filled with products from the region or further afield (Fenwick) that can be bought here.

Carruthers & Kent

Carruthers & Kent are a wine and bottle shop in Gosforth, and they pair wines with cheeses, chutneys and other local deli foods. They also offer gift and hamper services that feature many of these products. As well as wine cases of 1, 2, 3 or 6 bottles that they will box and gift wrap up for you, they do a range of bigger gift hampers that start from £35. 

These can either be bought in store or online, and you can choose from pre made hampers or build your own. The pre made include a red wine and cheese hamper, a luxury food hamper and a celebration hamper. Something like this is an ideal gift for either a joint present where a group can all chip in, and as the gift you get the people who have everything.

The French Quarter

The French Quarter may be a restaurant in Newcastle in one of the railway arches on Westgate Road, but their online and in restaurant market is filled with French products that are great as a hamper. They also do a pre made hamper selection or you can build your own. 

The French products include olives, cheeses, wines, chutneys, charcuteries, pates, coffee and much more. Their full wine and champagne list can be shopped and included too. There really is an overwhelming number of products on their online store and having had one of their hampers on a couple of occasions they are excellent value. 

They aren’t the cheapest, but they’re such good quality and it’s really useful to be able to select your own products knowing what you like. The French Quarter hampers are ideal as gifts, or even for yourself if you’re entertaining to get a selection of bits and nibbles in one place.
