Wham Bars, Space Dust, Fizzy Cola Bottles, Anglo Bubbly… GOOD NEWS PEOPLE… THEY AREN’T EXTINCT!
What a fantastic idea… a box of sweets from your chosen decade delivered to your door! I used to love those plastic fruits filled with powder that used to send me a little hyperactive… oh and then there was that Space Dust… great memories.
Thanks to a new concept called A Quarter Of, you can now relive those childhood years and get a selection of sweets from your chosen decade. They have some fantastic gift boxes that’ll have the memories streaming back in no time.
Gift hampers are always a great Christmas gift, hint hint.... I love them because I love good food.
Turnham Green have tried to encapsulate the idea of a hamper with good food and good ethical standards.
Their recipes are based around naturally preserving seasonal produce for use later in the year and all their products are created to maximise goodness and flavour with the very best ethically sourced ingredients. The hampers are include Turnham Green’s condiments and baked goods which are accompanied by a variety of other items chosen for their quality and ethical integrity.
As with all Turnham Green’s hampers, the contents are packed into their environmentally friendly Turnham Green Jute Bags (a refreshing eco-alternative to old fashioned wicker baskets that also provide ample motivation to minimise plastic bags). Turnham Green’s products are all in recycled or recyclable packaging and protected with eco-friendly potato starch filler for their fuel efficient journey to their delighted recipients.

The hamper business does seem to have been getting rather stale of late - so it’s quite nice to hear about someone challenging the market.
That’s what Nicki Stewart has attempted do with her Diverse Hampers. After diversifying out of stationery Nicki decided to offer offer a fresh, high quality and stylish alternative to the traditional wicker basket filled with cheeses and ham. The company provides a collection of striking gifts in towers of boxes containing products from small, artisan producers in the UK. As a result Businesszone.co.uk awarded her the top spot in their new business award.
Our particular favourite is this delightful organic gift hamper.
Panelists judging the new business finalists at the presentation stage were Jonny Allatt, investment director at Zeus Private Equity, Modwenna Rees-Mogg, editor of Angel News, Samantha Fountain, founder of Shewee and Ben Heald, CEO at Sift.
Nicki adds: “Far from being accomplished in the art of presenting, I entered the competition with apprehension! However, I found the process of presenting to such an important audience an invaluable experience.”
Theakson’s the world famous brewer based in Masham, North Yorkshire has been gradually expanding into the gifts arena. Their delightful selection comprises items such as hampers, clothing, food, souvenirs and gadgets. Bearing in mind Father’s Day is not far off it might be worth perusing, particularly if your dad likes an ale or three.
My personal favourites are the Old Peculiar Clock and a rather tasty looking “Kilderkin” hamper. Details below:
