Suddenly it's Christmas, right after Hallowe'en

This morning the milkman brought us a pint of silver-top.

And a catalogue for 2008 Christmas hampers.

It's bloody February!

Yup, I agree. There's something conceptually very appealing about a hamper as a present (it's a box full of food!) but yes, I'd far prefer to buy a box and ingredients and assemble them myself to give to someone. I've never quite got why I'd want to order a hamper for myself, though.

To save having to think about the contents (and about managing your saving for it by instalments), I guess is the idea.
