The gifting season is here, but so is the reality of Nigeria’s 2025 economy.
With inflation affecting budgets and the naira stretching thinner, knowing exactly how much a Christmas hamper costs is very important before heading on to spend a dime.
You want to show up for the people who matter. You want your gifts to communicate love and appreciation. But you also want to check your bank app in January without regret.
We get it.
When gifting to corporate clients, family, your partner, or staff, it is essential to get your budget right while spreading joy without financial constraints.
So how much should you actually spend per person this season?
Let’s break down the numbers and help you plan hampers that impress without breaking the bank.
Talking Numbers: Your Christmas Hamper Budget Plan
Step 1: Start Budgeting Now for Christmas 2025
When it comes to Christmas gifting, October is not too early.
Prices during the festive season seem always to have the habit of increasing; it’s literally normal now. From mid-November, things go up faster than you can imagine.
That’s why it’s important to start budgeting in October, like now, right now.
Here’s how to go about it:
- First, make a gifting list: Here, state who you are gifting this year. Clients, friends, family, spouse, or staff?
- Then rank them by priority: Who absolutely must get a gift, and who can you show love to in simpler ways? This is important to state clearly.
- Now set a budget per person: Find out how much a Christmas hamper costs, then decide how much you can comfortably spend on each person. Don’t strain yourself.
- Plan early purchases: Don’t wait until December. If you have to pre-order, please do so. October and early November are literally your best friends for this.
Step 2: How Much to Spend Per Person (Christmas Hamper Cost Breakdown)
Now, let’s get into the real matter — how much should you actually budget per person?
Your spending should depend on who you’re gifting, what kind of hamper you want to give, whether affordable or luxury, and what each Christmas hamper costs in 2025.
Let’s show you what the market looks like in 2025.
For Corporate Gifting
If you’re planning to gift corporate Christmas hampers to clients, partners, bosses, or VIP customers, then you should be looking at spending from ₦150k+ [one hundred and fifty thousand naira] for luxury Christmas hamper options. But if you’re interested in more affordable options, then between ₦100k – ₦150k should do.
Browse some options here.
For Family and Friends
These are your people. Whether it’s your mum, dad, bestie, or something for the entire family, thoughtful gifts always win.
You can opt for affordable Christmas hampers, or you can also choose a luxury Christmas hamper, depending on your budget. Here is an estimate of what your budget should look like: ₦60k – ₦150k+
For more context, see some luxury and affordable options here.
For Your Spouse or Partner
This is the one person you really don’t want to mess with. Your spouse or partner deserves something that says “I thought this through.”
If you’re going for something luxurious, then your Christmas hamper budget should be around ₦200k+, and affordable romantic Christmas hampers should be slightly less than ₦200k
Check some out here and here as well.
For Colleagues, Staff, and Service Providers
These are still part of the corporate gifting section, but the prices differ slightly from those we highlighted previously. Maybe you’re trying to gift people like your PA, hair stylist, or colleague at work.
Small, thoughtful hampers can go a long way. Check out some options here and discover what the Christmas hamper costs for each is before going for them.

Step 3: Buy Early — Before Prices Jump!
Shop or pre-order your hampers between October and early November — that’s when you get the best variety, premium packaging, and sweet discounts before the Christmas rush hits.
The sweetest part is even if prices go up later in November, it won’t concern you one bit because you locked yours early. So while others are complaining about inflated prices, you’ll just smile quietly — because, honestly, you can’t relate, lol.
At our hamper shop, for example, early birds always get first pick of the most elegant sets — before Uncle Inflation shows face.
So don’t wait till the market gets hot. Secure your hampers now.
