'handcuffs piggy' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'individual hasn't got on' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'ham' (ham is a kind of individual).
'hasn't got' becomes 'pers' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ham'+'pers'='HAMPERS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hampers that I've seen before include "picnic containers" , "Large baskets; hinders" , "Delays with food baskets" , "Encumbers" , "Obstructs with food baskets" .)
