How did gift hampers come about?

The world 'hamper' originated from 'hanapier', a French word that means a case for goblets. William the Conqueror brought the first hamper to Britain during the Victorian time. Back then, 'hamper' became a British term for large woven wicker containers used to transport food. Hampers were the primary containers used during this time. These wicker containers served as the perfect storage of food, because of its durability and ventilation. Hampers are also lighter than the alternative wooden boxes and barreks. Since hampers were ideal food containers, they became the common food gifts for Christmas season. Eventually instead of just food, people started giving clothes, toys and sweets. During these olden times, a hamper should contain enough food and wine that would last for a week.
