The spring is fast approaching, and I personally cannot wait for the warmer weather and longer days to arrive!  A popular time of year for weddings, the arrival of newborns, and annual holidays such as Mother’s Day and Easter, the spring provides us with plenty of opportunities to catch up with friends and loved ones, but it can also be an expensive time for gifts!

If you are feeling the pinch after Christmas and Valentine’s Day, then you will be pleased to know that we have a wonderful selection of Cornish gifts and food hampers suited to those on a budget.

Stylish, beautiful hampers containing a range of different Cornish gift items, food, beverages and cosmetics, they appeal to everyone and many in our collection cost less than £15!

Those with a savoury tooth will love our Cheese & Biscuits gift box, and you can choose to have it delivered in a gift box or a wicker tray. Including Oak smoked cheddar, Scrumpy apple chutney and a selection of savoury biscuits, this wonderful Cornish gift would make a great Easter present for those who do not like chocolate eggs!

If the recipient of your Cornish gift prefers the sweeter things in life, then our delicious Chocolate Box will go down a treat!  Containing a selection of Cornish confectionery, this delightful hamper is great for mother’s day – especially if your mum enjoys chocolate much more than flowers!

If you are looking for a traditional Cornish gift for St. Piran’s Day, then you cannot go wrong with our Cornish Cream Tea gift box.  Containing two scones, a tub of clotted cream and a jar of strawberry jam, this fantastic hamper has the true taste of Cornwall all packaged up and ready for delivery!

Our Polgoon Cornish cider gift pack will tantalise the taste buds of any cider drinker, and makes a wonderful gift for birthdays!  Consisting of three different bottles of Polgoon cider in traditional apple, pear and blackcurrant flavours, this great Cornish gift costs far less than a birthday cake but is just as enjoyable!

At less than £15 these Cornish gifts will not break your budget, so order yours now, and be the most popular bearer of gifts this spring!

Our Brands: Trenance Chocolate

When sending a corporate hamper, Cornish gift hamper or a food hamper by post there is one ingredient that you simply must not forget – and that is chocolate!

Rich, decadent and delicious, chocolate is something that we learn to appreciate from an early age, and whether you enjoy it in moderation or by the box full, chocolate is a wonderful treat that one can enjoy alone or share with friends and loved ones.

Trenance is a well-known and much loved brand in Cornwall, and they make some of the finest handmade chocolates available.  Using only the finest converture chocolate from Belgium, the chocolatiers at Trenance create these luxury chocolates by hand and top them with a whole range of delicious ingredients such as nuts, cranberries and raisins to create the perfect chocolate treat!

A small yet indulgent addition to your food hamper by post, a bar of ‘Trenance Chocolate with bits’ is perfect to nibble when spending an evening in front of the TV.  Available with Brazil nuts, walnuts, jelly orange and hazel nuts, these 100g bars are simply delicious.

For corporate hampers, we would have to recommend something a little more extravagant such as the Trenance Chocolate Box.  A box of 12 handmade chocolates including truffles, caramels and creams, it will tickle every taste bud and look wonderful in any hamper basket or gift box.

Trenance chocolates will make your gift hamper even more special, so why not add a bar (or two!) the next time you send a hamper, Cornish confectionery at its best!

Corporate Hampers – some ideas for spring!

Finally, the warmer weather has arrived and while we haven’t quite managed double digits yet, the next few days should see is reach a balmy 12° degrees, so we can pack away the hats and gloves (again) and start looking forward to spring!

A wonderful time of year to get out and promote your business, the spring brings plenty of trade-shows, exhibitions and conventions, so it is the perfect time to network and build new business relationships.

Building new business relationships while retaining the old ones is vital for every company, and while we may consider our existing customers as lifelong business associates, the competitive business market should never be underestimated.

Keeping those customers we have firmly on board might require a little extra work, but a long-term business relationship is well worth the investment, which is perhaps why corporate gift hampers are on the increase.

The sending of corporate hampers is a wonderful way to show your long-standing customers that you appreciate their business.  Suitable for every occasion and available for every budget, corporate hampers are far more appealing than a bunch of flowers, and they provide us with the opportunity to add our own personal touch to this very special business-to-business gift.

Our aptly named Corporate Hamper is designed to impress without being over the top or excessive.  Presented in a stylish black gift box, it contains a bottle of Sparkling Polgoon Aval Vintage, a range of sweet treats such as clotted cream fudge and handmade chocolates, a selection of cheeses and savoury biscuits, and a variety of sauces, chutney and preserves, to create the perfect corporate hamper.

A wonderful gift that can be sent at any time, this beautiful corporate hamper will help keep your existing clients firmly in place as you work on finding new ones!

 

A Cider Hamper for the weekend

The most romantic day of the year has arrived and we hope that the Postman delivered plenty of Valentine’s cards and presents to your door this morning! A day of red roses, chocolate hearts and marriage proposals, Valentine’s Day is not for everyone, and if you prefer the single life then why not use this day as an opportunity to treat yourself and order one of our fantastic cider hampers for the weekend!

We have a great selection of ‘ready to go’ cider hampers for you to choose from, but if you fancy doing something a little bit different then why not have a go at tailor making your own!

I love designing my own cider hampers, and to give you some inspiration, here’s what I would choose:

Being a traditionalist, I would choose to have my cider hamper delivered in a stylish wicker picnic basket.  Spring is just around the corner so the basket will get plenty of use and it is large enough to hold a whole range of delicious items.

There is nothing better than an ice-cold Cornish Rattler cider! Available in apple, berry and pear flavours, this deliciously fruity beverage would definitely feature in my cider hamper – in fact, I think I would order one of each!

No cider hamper would be complete without a bottle or two of Scrumpy.  Rich, tasty and strong, it is a wonderful drink to share with friends, and as it comes from Healey’s Cornish Cider Farm you can guarantee it will have the true taste of Cornwall.

Polgoon Aval is Cornish Champagne at its best!  Served in a 75cl bottle, it is perfect for sharing with friends and goes exceptionally well with light lunches.  Available in two great flavours Raspberry and traditional apple, I would have to add both to my tailor made cider hamper.

Combine all that cider with a pack of ten Cornish Pasties and perhaps a packet or two of Cornish fudge, and I think you have the perfect cider hamper for the weekend!
