Hampers & Gift Boxes: How This Concept Began

It’s not hard to notice how spoiled we are as a modern civilization. When we need food, we jump in the car and go to the grocery store, or worse – order take-out! We turn the lights on and off, the heat on and off, and the air conditioning too! Children, and adults, focus on the television, video games and computers as if it was as important as life itself!!

Cook an actual meal? Wow, how many people do you know to do that anymore? I know millions of people cook every day, but it seems that those we contact regularly are always talking about what a chore it is to cook. Either they don’t know what to make, don’t like the healthy choices, or are just lazy! If only they would realize how much money they could save over time and what nutritional benefits they could acquire with simple, wholesome cooking, the population of this country would not be in the unhealthy state it is!

First, I welcome you to breeze through the WowHamper website to find gift hampers for all your gift-giving needs. You’ll find gift boxes for every occasion.

Let’s go back in time for a bit, way back.

Only the rich had the luxuries we take for granted today as normalcy. And, of course, there were no grocery stores. You either went to a farm to buy or trade what you needed or grew your own.

You either walked or rode a donkey or buggy to your destination. The goods you bought were transported in burlap bags or hand-woven baskets. There were no Rubbermaid bins, cardboard crates or plastic bags. Baskets were the in thing, and no home was without them. This was the ultimate container of its time!

Were they setting off the road or off to the next village for a visit? You can picture this in your mind, can’t you? Of course, everyone was carrying a basket. Baskets were full of food, wine, clothes, grain and anything else to fulfil the family’s needs. Dating back to biblical times and the ancient Egyptians, baskets evolved worldwide. We have history pages full of this living in all parts of the world – Asia, Europe and the New World. Native Americans have created a legacy of basket weaving in this country that is world-renowned and highly respected. Some methods are unchanged still to this day. And those used in manufacturing today were directly assimilated from their beginnings. Transporting cargo and gift-giving was an ever-popular fashion. Everyone’s gift was contained in a basket. There were no gift boxes and beautiful wrapping paper and bows to garnish the usefully intended item. Gift baskets were the only way to fulfil the need and were very functional. 

No wonder gift boxes are still customary today!

I know you’ve been in this predicament before. You have an event to go to or a gift to send someone. Perhaps you are not entirely sure what their likes or dislikes are. You don’t want to get too personal, especially with a co-worker or client. No one out there wouldn’t appreciate a beautiful gift box delivered to their door. At first glance, it makes a lasting impression. The contents can be shared with family members and friends.

Gift box containers are excellent sources of organization for your home or office. They can also be reused for other functions, such as planters, toys, cooking utensils, magazine racks, school supplies or craft stations.

But, most of all, quality, well-designed gift boxes made exclusively by Wowhamper, laden with extraordinary gifts, or to pamper a loved one, are hard to beat. In a top choice poll, most people would agree that the gift of preference in most situations would be the receipt of a hamper gift set.
