The Changing Nature of Christmas Hampers
Since its establishment in 1984, Virginia Hayward Hampers has grown to be one of the leading suppliers of Christmas hampers and gifts within the UK. Based on its commitment from the outset to produce a range of gifts which were 'elegant, high in quality, unusual and excellent value for money'. Director Gin Hayward is pleased to launch the latest range of exciting hampers and gifts to coincide with the company's 25th Anniversary, "We're delighted to be able to produce a strong range this Christmas and celebrate a major milestone in a year which promises to be tough for all mail order retailers".
As much a part of Christmas as holly and ivy, Christmas hampers are a favourite present for all the family, but have changed greatly since the first Virginia Hayward hamper was despatched 25 years ago. Gone are the pates, soups and fruits in alcohol of yesteryear, replaced by nostalgic sweets and fresh foods.
Head of Buying Samantha Sandison says, "We're always striving to find the best of local, national and international produce for inclusion in our hampers, as well as showing innovation in the products that we select". Sandison adds, "It's always a pleasure to see new ideas and gift foods presented by suppliers which we can incorporate into our hampers".
The Virginia Hayward Christmas range is currently available for sale on the company's website with the majority of items available for delivery until the 23rd December 2009.

Christmas Hamper Vendor Sees Careful Planning for the Downturn Pay Dividends
Leading supplier of Christmas Hampers and gifts, Virginia Hayward Ltd is making the most of the tough economic climate thanks to its careful planning for the downturn. By widening its range and reducing price points, the company is able to make the most of what promises to be a difficult year for all retailers by providing excellent value for money.
Director Sam Hayward commented on the company's ability to react quickly to a changing market place, "We're well known for our range of Christmas hampers and gifts, but we're breaking into new markets, both in terms of the new products such as sweet hampers that we've added to our range and the lower retail price points that we're targeting".
Hayward adds, "Our business caters very much for the corporate customer and we're seeing companies carefully managing their discretionary spending in 2009. By featuring a wider range and lower priced gifts than ever before, we're catering for a larger segment of the Christmas hamper market than in previous years and we're able to attract customers who might otherwise have been unable to buy hampers".
With hampers from as little £13.50, through to the epicurean Celebration Hamper at £450.00, the company is able to attract corporate buyers whose budgets for entertainment at Christmas are shrinking. Hayward says "We've taken a number of orders from new customers who have laid on staff parties in previous years. We're able to offer a cost effective solution which employees can take home and share with their families".
The Virginia Hayward Christmas range is currently available for sale on the company's website with the majority of items available for delivery until the 23rd December 2009.
