        "content": "<p>Tradition of sending Lebaran hampers to family, relatives, and\ncolleagues has become common in Indonesia. Yet without careful planning,\nthis act of sharing happiness can backfire, draining the budget, THR,\nand savings.<\/p>\n<p>Financial planner Rista Zwestika CFP, WMI, shared strategic tips to\nkeep hamper budget allocations under control. The first and most crucial\nstep is to set a budget limit from the outset before shopping begins.\n\u2018Set the hamper budget from the start. For example, a maximum of 5-10\npercent of THR,\u2019 Rista said in a briefing quoted on Saturday 7 March\n2026. By setting a fixed percentage of THR, you have a clear boundary so\nyou do not use funds intended for essentials or emergency reserves.<\/p>\n<p>After the budget figure is known, the next step is to determine the\nnumber of recipients. Rista suggests limiting the distribution to people\nwith personal closeness, such as family, relatives, and close\nfriends.<\/p>\n<p>Use spare time to conduct product research online and offline.\nComparing prices between vendors or shops can help you obtain a package\nthat fits the budget without compromising the contents\u2019 quality.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to save more, consider preparing hampers yourself (DIY).\nBuying hamper contents in bulk and packaging them yourself not only\nreduces costs, but also gives recipients a more personal touch.<\/p>\n<p>The tradition of sharing during the holy month has crossed religious\nboundaries. Jakpat\u2019s \u2018Future Insight into Ramadan and Eid 2025\u2019 report\nreveals that non-Muslim residents also participate in this tradition as\na form of tolerance and to strengthen social ties.<\/p>\n<p>Based on a survey of more than 1,900 respondents, here are the\naverage funds that people set aside for a single hamper:<\/p>\n<p>The contents most in demand remain dominated by Lebaran speciality\ndry cookies, packaged foods and beverages, and staple foods (sembako).\n\u2018Hampers do not have to be expensive; what matters is the care and the\nintention to share,\u2019 said the CEO and Founder of Finante.<\/p>\n<p>Want ideas for Lebaran 2026 hampers that are unique beyond food?
