Christmas Hampers in Cyprus 2026: Where to Order Gift Baskets, Local Producers and Delivery

A Christmas hamper is the easy answer for neighbours, teachers, hosts and family abroad, and in Cyprus you have two ways to do it: order a ready-made basket for delivery, or build your own from the island's producers, delis and markets. This guide covers both, with what each shop sells, what it costs where we could confirm it, and how to get a hamper to Cyprus from the UK.

Last checked: 5 November 2026. None of the Cypriot shops below had published a Christmas 2026 order deadline when we checked. We will add deadlines as they appear; until then, aim to order by the first week of December.

Ready-made hampers with delivery

Gift Hampers Cyprus (online only). Luxury food and wine hampers, spirits hampers, chocolate hampers and gluten-free hampers, with names such as Divine Feast, Luxury Banquet and Champagne Treats. Delivery is free to Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and other major towns. Prices are not shown on the home page and no shop address is published, so ask for a quote. Tip: say which day someone will be home, as hampers are too big for most letterboxes and pickup points.

Yolanda's Chocolatiers, Dimostheni Severi Avenue 21AB, Nicosia. A chocolatier with Christmas, hamper, chocolate-and-wine and vegan ranges, also on Wolt for delivery in Nicosia. Its Halloween box of 16 bonbons was about €30 (2026), which gives you the price level. Hours on Wolt are Monday to Friday 09:00–18:30 and Saturday 10:00–17:30. Tip: chocolate does not like a hot car; collect it last.

Wine and More, four shops: 28th October Avenue 52, Engomi (Nicosia); Archiepiskopou Makariou III 16C (Larnaca); Spyrou Kyprianou Avenue 17, Germasogeia (Limassol); and Tombs of the Kings Avenue 8 (Paphos). Trading since 2010, it has a gifts and hampers range of about 80 items mixing wine, spirits and gourmet food, with free delivery on orders over €70. Tip: ask the shop to swap the wine for a non-alcoholic option for teachers or colleagues. For choosing the bottle itself, see our Cypriot wines and Commandaria guide.

Aura (Auras Workshop), Ayiou Dimitriou 105, Paralimni. Not food: hampers of candles, soaps, bath salts and small keepsakes, hand-poured and packed in its Paralimni workshop, from about €23 to €100 (2026). ACS delivery costs €3.99 to a pickup point or €5.99 to your door, free on orders over €50, and click-and-collect orders are usually ready in about two hours. The shop's listed hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 09:00–17:00. Tip: many of its hampers sell out, so order early.

Build your own from Cypriot producers

A home-made hamper of local products usually costs less than a ready-made one and says more about where you live. Pick a basket or box and fill it from these:

• Aphrodite DelightsMakariou Avenue 57, opposite Geroskipou Square (Paphos), phone 26 962212. The loukoumi maker sells Loukoumi Geroskipou, a protected geographical indication in the EU, plus almond koufeta and Paphos gum. Tip: boxed loukoumi keeps for weeks and travels well, so it suits hampers going abroad.
• The Rose Factory (Venus Rose)Agros. Run by the Tsolakis family since 1948, it sells rosewater, rose liqueur, rose jam, rose tea, chocolates and cosmetics, and is open all year. Tip: Agros is also one of the nine Christmas Villages from 21 November, so go on a festive weekend.
• Christmas sweets. Every bakery sells melomakarona and kourabiedes from early December. In December 2024 Zorbas charged €11.95 a kilo, the cheapest of 20 shops checked, with patisseries in Limassol at about €18–19. Pack them in a tin, not a bag.
• VetrinaThe Landmark Nicosia. The deli that opened in March 2026 sells olive oils, wine, cured meats, cheeses and fresh pasta, good for a cheese-and-deli hamper you hand over the same day.

By district: where to fill a hamper

Supermarkets and the festive table

We could not confirm ready-made supermarket hampers for 2026, but the supermarkets' Christmas ranges are an easy way to fill one. Alphamega has a Christmas section in its online shop, with free delivery on orders over €100 or click and collect, and Lidl sells its seasonal Deluxe range in December, which is where you find stollen, panettone-style cakes and continental treats. For the full festive food shop, see our Christmas shopping guide and our supermarkets guide.

Sending a hamper to Cyprus from the UK

Family in Britain often ask what to send. The British Hamper Company, based in Lincolnshire with a European delivery hub, has a range for EU delivery with prices that include tracked express delivery to Cyprus:

The site shows prices in pounds and can switch to euros. The company does not send hampers with alcohol outside the UK, so choose from its alcohol-free EU range.

The catch is customs. Since 1 July 2026, parcels from outside the EU, including the UK, no longer enter duty-free: a temporary €3 customs duty applies per item type until 1 July 2028, and Cypriot VAT is charged on the total. Gifts from one private person to another are exempt only up to €45, so a typical hamper will pay something, and the recipient may be asked to pay before delivery. Our guide to parcels and customs explains how. Tip: a hamper ordered from a Cypriot shop avoids all of this.

Order deadlines and delivery tips

• Order by early December. No Cypriot shop we checked had a published 2026 cut-off, and couriers slow down in the last two weeks.
• Nothing moves on 25 and 26 December. Shops close by 18:00 on 24 December, and in 2025 they were shut on 25 and 26 December.
• Give a phone number. Couriers often call before they deliver, so include the recipient's mobile.
• Keep fresh food separate. Halloumi, cheese and cured meats belong in a hamper you hand over yourself, not one that sits in a depot.
• Taking a hamper to the UK? Meat and dairy are banned in personal luggage; see our Christmas gifts from Cyprus guide for what is allowed.

What to do next

• Decide between a delivered hamper and a home-made one, and order or shop by the first week of December.
• Plan a producer trip to Geroskipou or Agros with our Christmas Villages guide.
• Check the Christmas events and markets guide for markets where local makers sell gifts.
