    good to know —

    When to order?

    Ideally, order 6 to 8 weeks before Christmas for the widest choice. Left it late? We can often still help, so do get in touch.

    Making changes

    Swap a product, leave out the alcohol or add something extra: it can all be done. Mention it with your order, or get in touch first.

    Tax-free via the WKR

    Within the free margin of the Dutch work-related costs scheme (WKR) you can give Christmas hampers tax-free, and up to €227 per recipient per year the VAT is deductible. Read how it works.

    Personal

    A card with your message, your logo on the closing sticker, the alcohol left out if that suits better. You can tell us right up until we start packing.

    Independent

    Every product comes from an independent business in the city, so you won't find any of it in a standard hamper.

    Local

    The businesses are all based in Haarlem and the area around it. The packing happens here too, at sheltered workshops in the region.

    who's inside your hamper —

    The makers behind the hampers

    Every product comes from a Haarlem maker, from Jopen beer to the butter Christmas biscuits by De Haarlemse Bakker. You can meet them all on our About us page.

    Frequently asked questions

    Frequently asked questions about Christmas hampers from Haarlem

    When is the best time to order our Christmas hampers from Haarlem?

    We recommend ordering 6 to 8 weeks before Christmas. That gives us and our makers time to put the hampers together and deliver them. Left it late? Do get in touch, as we can often still help.

    How many Christmas hampers should we order?

    That depends on how many employees and clients you'd like to give a hamper. We usually suggest ordering a few extra, so new colleagues and clients receive one too.

    Can I compose my own hamper or change something?

    Yes. To swap a product, leave out the alcohol or add something extra, mention it with your order or get in touch first. We can also combine existing boxes, or add your own card or product.

    Can the hampers be personalised?

    Yes. You can add your own card or product; companies regularly include a gift voucher, for example. Your logo can go on the closing sticker that seals the box. A card with your own message and a logo on the closing sticker are available from 30 boxes at €1.50 each per box excl. VAT, and free from 200 boxes per order with the same card or sticker. You can personalise when ordering online, or by getting in touch.

    What is the minimum order?

    The minimum order is 15 Christmas hampers.

    Do we get a discount on larger quantities?

    For larger quantities we're happy to discuss a competitive price. Request a quote or get in touch with the number of hampers you need, and we'll send a tailored proposal within one working day.

    Can the hampers be delivered to my colleagues' homes?

    Yes, we offer delivery straight to your colleagues' home addresses. Handy when colleagues work remotely and aren't at the office to collect their box. Please note this option involves additional shipping costs.

    How do I make sure my hampers arrive on time?

    Order in good time and let us know your preferred delivery date. We'll make sure your hampers arrive when you need them.

    How can I pay?

    You can pay online directly with iDEAL/Wero, debit or credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or choose payment by invoice with a 14-day term. Everything is on one invoice, which keeps your administration simple.

    Is there alcohol in the hampers? Can we go without?

    Many of our boxes contain locally brewed beer or another speciality from Haarlem. Prefer (partly) alcohol-free or vegetarian, or is there an allergy to consider? We'll replace products with a local alternative, such as alcohol-free craft beer, coffee or chocolate from Haarlem. Mention it with your order or get in touch.

    How much can a Christmas hamper cost tax-free?

    Christmas hampers fall under the Dutch work-related costs scheme (WKR): within the free margin (in 2026: 2.16% of the first €400,000 of your fiscal wage bill) you can give them to employees tax-free. For VAT deduction a threshold of €227 excluding VAT per recipient per year applies. Our tax and VAT page explains it with a worked example.

    Can I see a sample hamper before ordering?

    Not as standard — we work with fresh delicacies and don't have a physical shop. But we may be able to arrange something, certainly for larger orders: get in touch and we'll look at the options together.

    Who packs the hampers?

    Our boxes are packed at sheltered workshops in the region, providing work for people who find it harder to get a job. Anything left over after the season goes to the local food bank.

    Personal advice

    Rather talk it through before you order?

    Tell us how many people it's for and your rough budget. Within one working day you'll have a proposal in your inbox, with a selection and a price.
