An increasing number of consumers are likely to turn to the internet in order to snap up their remaining shopping ahead of Christmas Day.

That is the prediction of John Lewis, which enjoyed record sales of £7.4 million last Monday (December 3rd) and believes the best is still to come.

Speaking yesterday, the retailer's managing director Andy Street told the Independent: "We actually think that tomorrow will beat it and maybe another record on December 17th. There will be three Mega Mondays in a row."

With so much business set to be completed online, it might be the ideal time to venture on to the web to find a luxury hamper that is just right for Christmas.

Britons who are either hosting a gathering and need food to offer their guests or simply wish to provide a loved one with the gift of a high-class case can find hampers are the ideal purchases at this time of the year.
