Gift Hampers
Marks & Spencer Hampers
Unfortunately this year the Christmas Gift Hampers we usually display from Marks and Spencer's aren't available.
So instead we are displaying a selection of quality hampers from other retailers.
If you are looking for a traditional style food hamper with fantastic quality and a little wow factor try Virginia Hayward Hampers.
Christmas Cracker Hamper
This fresh and attractive gift really is a 'cracker' of a hamper. With its contents carefully chosen for appearance as well as taste it is bursting with flavour and variety. From Furniss' Traditionally Baked Shortbread to a Just Chocolates Fine Selection, Border Biscuits Deliciously Different Plain Chocolate Covered Brownies to tangy Poacher’s Chutney, there are pleasures to suit every preference. We have included an excellent bottle of bubbles, so as well as being outstanding value for money, the Cracker should make the season go with a pop! In response to some of our customers who requested all the fine food but no basket once again we are offering this hamper in a Virginia Hayward branded box as well as the traditional basket.
Taste of the West Hamper
Inspired by the wealth of producers in the West Country the 'Taste of the West' hamper is an opportunity to sample some of the finest produce available from this region. The hamper contains several Taste of the West Award Winners including Triple Chocolate Chocolate Chip Biscuits from the House of Dorchester and Buttermilk Shop Chocolate Fudge as well as favourites of ours such as drizzle from Mr Filbert's and flatbreads from Fudges Bakery. Of course this homage to the West Country would be incomplete without a quality cider so we can't imagine that anyone will be disappointed that we've included this fine example from The Orchard Pig!
Winter Wonderland
It's a little known fact that although 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland' is one of the most archetypal Christmas songs ever recorded, the song doesn't actually mention Christmas once. You'll be pleased to know therefore, that our version of a 'Winter Wonderland' contains plenty of references to Christmas! Mince Pies, Christmas Cake, Christmas Pudding, Christmas Fruit & Nut Mix - you'll barely know where to begin. Rest assured though, wherever you do start digging into this hamper, you won't be disappointed, as every item in this sturdy wicker basket is of exellent quality and guaranteed to please.
Cool Christmas Fresh Food Gift
For the discerning palate this gift represents a real Christmas treat. We have chosen both Classic Smoked Salmon and Gravadlax from the famous Loch Fyne Smokery and ham from Heal Farm. As well as no less than four wonderful British cheeses and a delicious pate from Cottage Delight, we've also included a selection of biscuits from Fudges Bakery and Claire's Handmade Old English Apple Chutney; a very cool hamper indeed!
Festive Celebration
At Virginia Hayward we use the term 'Ronseal Hamper' to describe a hamper or gift which 'does exactly what it says on the tin'. As a hamper which is full to bursting with delicious delights, the moniker is more than fitting in this case; this truly is a Festive Celebration. To pick out some of the highlights, you'll find the Fudges Belgian Milk Chocolate Florentines second to none, as is the Christmas Shortbread from luxury biscuiteers, Frank's. As ever, we've included one of our favourite wines to aid the digestion!
Silent Night Carton
This stunning hamper overflows with indulgent treasures. The emphasis is on warmth and richness of taste and colour; so Barfield Bakery Mince Pies can be eaten with After Dinner Fresh Ground Coffee and the rich and fruity Cabernet Sauvignon with Fine Belgian Chocolates. This is a beautiful gift that offers something for everyone, whether for a silent night or a rambunctious party!As ever,this hamper is available in a traditional basket as well as a gift carton.
The Great Britain Hamper
With a Royal Wedding this year and a Golden Jubilee next year, we're all feeling a little more British than normal. So, we thought that it would be a nice idea to create a hamper which could be enjoyed whilst listening to 'God Save theQueen' on repeat. We think we've succeeded with this Union Jack adorned feast, which features exclusively British producers, from longstanding favourites such as biscuits from Walkers, through to one of the best real ales that you'll find; Shepherd Neame's 'Spitfire'. Love or hate Marmite, it's unmistakably British and these Marmite flatbreads can be nibbled with excellent chutney or mustard from Highfield Preserves. We've also made sure to include ketchup and brown sauce. Not just any ketchup and brown sauce though; this fantastic pair of condiments from Tracklements will make you wonder how you managed before!
