?Few foods say luxury and sophistication more than smoked salmon.

With that in mind, why not give someone a smoked salmon hamper for their birthday this year?

To begin with, it is unlikely that they will be expecting such a gift, so the element of surprise is there.

Also, you could be giving their health a boost, as recent research published in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases has suggested that eating salmon cut redue the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis by more than half.

With that in mind, the Sherborne Gift Hamper – which contains Severn and Wye Premium Smoked Salmon as well as Wolf Blass Red Label Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir Premium Curvee – could be the perfect present.

Or how about the Alcohol-Free Winchcombe Hamper, which includes chocolates, biscuits and other delights for your friend to enjoy?

Before you make up your mind, consider the Painswick Gift Hamper, which contains 4 75cl bottles of different wines, each of which will add a new dimension to the smoked salmon.
