These hampers with an Italian twist and a taste of the North West make the ideal gift for foodies this Christmas
One of the North West’s most loved retailers, Arighi Bianchi, has launched its first ever Christmas hamper collection, featuring festive food and drink including a selection of products from producers across the region.
The Macclesfield-based furniture and interiors retailer, which was established in 1854, has created six hampers for Christmas 2026, ranging from £85 to £160, with both alcoholic and alcohol-free options available.
The collection champions a number of North West names, with treats including Lancashire Tea, Wallings chocolates, Williams handmade Christmas cake and mince pie Eccles cakes, Fiddler’s Lancashire crisps, Stockley’s clotted cream fudge and Arighi Bianchi’s own ground coffee.
Celebrating its Italian heritage, there’s also some Italian favourites mixed in such as Vincenze Amaretti Biscuits, Natural Italian Olives, Crosta & Mollica Torinesi Breadsticks, Folonari Prosecco DOC Extra Dry and Baglio Gibellina Passiemento Nero d’Avola – Sicilian red wine.
Three sizes are available: the Boxed Hamper (£85), Medium Wicker Hamper (£130) and Large Wicker Hamper (£160), with an alcohol-free version of each at the same price.
Alcoholic hampers include Prosecco, while the largest hamper also features a bottle of Nero d’Avola red wine. Alcohol-free alternatives include drinks from Lancashire-based Mr Fitzpatrick’s, alongside Belvoir Elderflower Presse in the largest hamper.
The hampers can be sent directly to recipients with a personalised gift message, making them suitable for family and friends as well as corporate gifting. Businesses ordering five or more hampers receive £10 off each.
Orders must be placed by 31 October, with deliveries beginning from 1 December 2026.
