Welsh Hamper

A hamper is the equivalent of our gift basket.  I’m continually amused by the words used differently in two countries that speak the same language.  Sometimes I think… wow, why do Americans use ‘x’ when the British word makes so much more sense.  For reference, this was not one of those times.  The word ‘hamper’ is for dirty clothes.  Not treats.

Regardless, I received a Christmas Hamper today in the mail from my boss in the States.  So very kind and lots of fun things to try that are very, very Welsh. 

Here’s to our first Christmas in Wales. 🙂
