Here at Amaretto deli we have a shop full of goods that are perfect for Christmas gift hampers. We find most people are keen to make up their own and so we have been running a successful personalised gift hamper service for some years now. The great thing about this gift is that it looks fantastic and you only pay for the food that you choose and the hamper materials (£4.95). There is no extra mark-up. We’ve had orders for hampers in Norwich from people across the world.

A personalised Christmas hamper delivery service that’s easy to use.

Prices start at ten pounds, and you can spend as much as you want! Orders range from a small nest of cheese, to a wide-ranging array of food; it really is up to you. Once you’ve chosen your food we’ll lay out your gifts on rafia and dress the hamper so that you have a present that looks as good as it tastes, and that is unique. If you’re buying online you can either collect the hamper yourself or, more usual, have it sent to any address in Norwich NR1-NR7. (Do feel free to write a note for us to include in the hamper at the check-out stage; most people do.)

If you come in to the shop we can happily advise on popular Christmas hamper ingredients for loved ones of varying tastes. If you’re buying online, then do just browse our online shop and the collections there.  Most people order a mix of dry and fresh ingredients. The fat Gordal olives are a favourite, finocchiona (fennel) salami, and fontina cheese, and of course our popular gift bags of cakes.

Why Amaretto?

We are a small award-winning Italian deli in Norwich, run by Fabrizio Fiaschi from Tuscany. When you browse the shop you’ll find Christmas gifts from the best suppliers at prices that don’t cost the earth. Your gift is put together and delivered with a personal touch, and, like any well-stocked bottega in Italy, quality is key. For example we have exclusive coffee from Vinci, olive oil from Fab’s cousin in Tuscay, and the best Italian cheese and olives. We also have a whole range of Italian Christmas goods in stock across the Christmas season: you can read more about those goodies on our special Christmas food blog.

Easter Table, Amaretto Deli, Norwich

Did you know we make bespoke Easter Hampers? Filled with the gifts of your choice, and then only £3.50 extra for the hamper materials, they make for a lovely gift. Do come in and ask in the shop if you’d like one made up, or you can also order online and have the Easter hamper delivered in Norwich, NR1-NR7. It’s the perfect gift if you live further afield.

Our Classic Colomba Cake is lovely in a hamper, or on it’s own. It’s been around since the 12th century in Italy, its dove shape symbolising peace. Made by our first class panettone makers Gilber, in Turin, the cake really does melt in the mouth. Gilber use quadruple leavened dough, candied orange peel and a sweet hazelnut and sugar glaze to make this Italian classic. Similar in taste and texture to the panettone, the Colomba is lighter and sweeter than it’s cousin. Understandably, it’s a cake that’s really beginning to gain in popularity in the UK.

Italian Easter Gifts on our Norwich shop table. Perfect for an Easter Hamper.

La Perla 70% dark chocolate truffles

If you’ve ever been to Italy at Easter time, you’ll know their Easter eggs are a spectable in themselves. Large, and made with high quality chocolate, they are wrapped in bright cellophane that explodes at the top. In all, a particularly good-looking, delicious present with no plastic shell. (Please note our eggs are not currently available online).

We also have plenty of Italian chocolates and biscuits, as well as plenty of other deli food that works really well in mixed Easter Hampers. So, do browse our online shop or come down to the deli at 16, St Georges Street and see what works for you.

Stocking fillers and secret santa gifts at Amaretto Deli, Norwich

Italian nougat, Amaretto Deli, Norwich

Looking for Christmas stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts in Norwich?

The Amaretto Deli Christmas table is stacked full of original Italian chocolates and festive food that are decently priced and wrapped in rich colours. They make for lovely stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts.

++ please note you can also browse for stocking fillers and secret santa gifts in our online shop: click and collect or delivery available in NR1-NR7. ++

Christmas is a time for good food, good company, and, in our opinion, thoughtful gifts that do not cost the earth. Novelty stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts can be fun, but increasingly, it does not feel so good to fill up our homes with short-lived gifts that end up going to land-fill sooner rather than later.

As the commercial buzz hots up, one way of avoiding lots of short-lived or wasteful gifts is to invest in some really nice food.

In terms of stocking fillers, Amaretto has a number of gifts between £2.50 – £7.95 that fit the bill:

Italian nougat, stocking filler, Amaretto Deli, Norwich

Chocolate covered nougat, £2.95

The nougat is soft, the chocolate is dark and rich: and this stick makes for old-fashioned good looks in a Christmas Eve stocking. (Please note this gift is not available online).

Cunesi al Limoncello, stocking filler norwichChocolate liqueurs from the north of Italy; £7.95, assorted flavours.

These chocolates look way more expensive than they are – why not try a mixed bag full of rum, amaretto, limoncello and cherry liqueur chocolates: buy one for your colleague then one for yourself: you won’t regret it.

Caffe Leonardo, from Vinci, Tuscany

Festive packets of Leonardo Cafe, from Vinci, Tuscany, £5.00

We’ve had these gifts in the shop for years now, and people come back for them year after year. We are the only place in the country to stock this smooth and tasty Italian coffee.

These are just some examples of the smaller gifts we have on offer – we also have Torrone, panforte and lots more, all wrapped in lovely paper, and famously delicious.

All our Christmas gifts are sourced from Italy and popular; we’re pretty sure that nothing will get wasted here!

As well as this food, we also do Christmas Hampers.

See you soon!

Team Amaretto.
