XL Christmas hampers Utrecht: giving big without waste

For anniversaries, farewells or a standout year: how to put together an XL hamper that impresses and still gets fully used.

An XL Christmas hamper isn't 'more of the same'. It's a hamper with a handful of real highlights instead of thirty small bags.

When do you choose XL?

• An exceptionally good year you want to mark.
• An employee's anniversary or farewell.
• A gift for a whole team or department, opened together.
• A strategic relationship you want to thank explicitly.

Our approach to XL

• Base: the Neude Box or Oude Gracht Box, topped up with a bottle of gin, a large chocolate bar or a drinks platter.
• Packaging worth keeping.
• Personal card and logo on the sleeve.
• Delivery by appointment, including a specific date during the Christmas drinks.

Avoid waste

With XL, it's better to choose two larger products than ten small ones. Giving big is fine, but it should all get used - that's more sustainable too.

Tip: XL works best with an occasion

A large hamper without a reason feels excessive; with one it feels like recognition. An anniversary, a farewell, a team that finished a hard project, a client renewing for the third year: name that reason on the card and the size explains itself.

Tip: spread the weight across categories

• Something to drink that carries the evening (a bottle or three craft beers).
• Something savoury to share (cheese, sausage, olives, a vegetarian alternative).
• Something sweet that keeps for later (chocolate, biscuits).
• One non-food item that outlives the year (glassware, ceramics, textiles).

That last category is what sets an XL hamper apart: something remains once the food is gone.

Tip: one XL for the department can beat ten separate hampers

For teams that meet in person, a shared XL hamper is often more fun and cheaper: you pay once for packaging and delivery, and unpacking becomes a shared moment. For hybrid teams the opposite holds - then an individual hamper at home wins.

Tip: plan the practical side

An XL hamper quickly weighs six to ten kilos. Have it delivered to one address, arrange who receives it, and account for stairs and bike transport. For home delivery, a smaller hamper with a better bottle is often the smarter choice.
