"I've sent a hamper to our partners" - no David, not good David, bad taste, poor judgement, naughty, what were you thinking? So, a major breakthrough in Anglo-american safety - the hamper (American) is a Laundry basket (English) where as a hamper (English) is a Gift basket (American).
God bless our language

A hamper is more substantial than a laundry basket. It is typically a piece of furniture that, like a street side mailbox, is a collection site prior to the final destination. While hampers have become more casual over the years (what hasn't?), in the 50's and 60's they were a piece of furniture, wood or wicker, located in a hallway on the bedroom floor of the house.
