We are only in the first week of October, but that hasn't stopped retailers from getting in the Christmas mood with a wealth of festive launches. Advent calendars in all shapes and sizes have already gone on sale, however there's one particular release we've been really looking to: Aldi's Christmas hampers.
Much like the extravagant Christmas hampers from Fortnum & Mason, Aldi's festive offerings make the ultimate luxury gifts and certainly look the part too. Best of all? The supermarket's hampers are much more affordable yet don't skimp on quality, featuring award-winning seasonal treats that you won't be able to resist.
Aldi claims that its £99.99 Christmas feast hamper is £100 cheaper than Fortnum & Mason's classic Christmas version. The most expensive festive hamper from Aldi will set you back £174.99, while Fortnum & Mason's priciest option costs a whopping £1,000.
With prices starting from £49.99, there are four Aldi Christmas hampers to choose from this year, including The Christmas Feast Hamper (£99.99) and The Ultimate Decadence Hamper (£174.99).
There's also The Luxury Collection Hamper for £74.99, packed with delicious treats from Sticky Toffee Pudding Fudge and Earl Grey Tea to Seville Orange Marmalade.
The priciest Aldi hamper - the ultimate decadence - is packed with several luxurious treats, including a bottle of Veuve Monsigny Champagne, an Exquisite Heritage Pedro Ximénez Christmas Pudding, Luxury Florentines and Specially Selected Medjoul Dates.
The budget supermarket's boxes of treats tend to get snapped up quickly for the festive season and are known to sell out super fast.
All of the Aldi hampers can be purchased online at aldi.co.uk, while two of them are available in-store: the ultimate decadence and luxury collection.
Home delivery is priced at either £2.95 or £4.95, depending on the size of your order.
It will take three to five days for your items to arrive if you select standard home delivery.
