Hello, it's for a family who looked after my daughter - I don't know what they like, I say family but just a mum and dad really. They are my daughter's boyfriends parents who let her stay when she was between flats.

I normally send flowers to friends etc but I don't know these people and it's the dad as well. I've seen hampers etc online but haven't used any of the companies before.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

How much would you like to spend? What sort of things would you like?

I’ve found M&S reliable. If you look at food and wine gifts there are other options there.

Hampers.com do some nice ones. Including a thank you hamper.

You could get a box of wine delivered (unless that's too expensive) - Laithwaites' wine is nice.

Thank you @Houserenoqueen that is a lovely website and if I don't use it this time I will in the future.

I am looking for something for a man and a woman, not alcohol because I don't know what drink they like and not just chocolate or sweet stuff because for all I know they are diabetic! Thank you DD for not knowing anything g about her hosts 😖

Check with daughter to see if they drink alcohol or have any dietary requirements.

We get given bottles of wine that have to be given away as I don’t drink it and my husband has stopped.

Bettys of Harrogate do amazing cake deliveries- the fondant fancies are literally the best cakes ever, but everything they sell is lovely, even the tea. www.bettys.co.uk/gift-ideas/all-gift-ideas

@RainCloude no worries, no pressure! Trying to think of a non-sugary, non-alco option for you. How about a voucher for a meal out somewhere?

The M&S Beaulieu hamper is gorgeous. I've bought it a couple of times as a present

@Spudina thank you for the recommendation - I went with hampers.com in the end. I'm sure I could have found them online myself but it's always good to have a recommendation. Thank you to everyone who posted a suggestion - I will come back to them all next time i need to send a gift and I know more about the recipient's tastes! Luckily the one I ended up with had a good cross section of sweet and savoury.
