Food hamper ideas

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

DDads birthday coming up and I normally do him a v luxury food hamper from fortnums, borough market etc. Obviously not an option this year so can anyone recommend some online food places to buy really good quality, luxury bits to add to a food hamper (I don’t want a premade hamper). Small company’s would be great (to support them) but all options gratefully received!

Thank you!

Neals Yard cheese delivers - and they have a shop in Borough market so it’s almost the same!

ouse valley foods do amazing chutney / jam / curds etc

Oh thank you!

Bump

If he likes garlic the products from the Isle of Wight garlic farm are lovely ( you can buy online)

What kinds of foods and gadgets does he usually like @IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece?

(Love the username BTW.)

Oh he LOVES garlic! It’s a running joke so thank you I’ll take a look!

Thank you JingsMahBucket

He loves really good quality produce, cheese, expensive whisky/gin, slightly unusual food and fine dining!

He does all the cooking for him and DM but isn’t a gadget user as such...loves a good lie cruset pan and occasionally uses an iPad but otherwise not really into gadgets for the kitchen or otherwise

Bothams of Whitby for cakes. The Yorkshire brack is delicious

Oh and shortbread. The man loves shortbread so any amazing companies for that much appreciated!

I normally go round all the stalls at Borough, selfridges/fortnums food halls and local delis to pick up some delicious stuff and whatever takes my fancy but obviously can’t this year so thank you!

I have used https://www.britishfinefoods.com/ in the past and have been very pleased.

The Gillys balsamic dressing is particularly lovely!

Thank you!

My dad got an M&s one a while back (not quite a posh as your Borough one...lol) but it had so.e snacking bits in to have with a beer - think flavoured nuts, tasty crisps etc They went down really well with him.

Fortnum and Mason are still delivering - check the website.

And you can select your own stuff which they will then deliver in a hamper basket.

Have you looked at Bettys online?

Thank you! Great ideas!

Didn’t even think of fortnums delivery 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also online supermarkets (thinking Ocado) do sell quite a lot of independent brand things like chutney so you could start adding bits to your shop - if you do / can get deliveries!

Thanks ZsaZsa! I did think Ocado but I can’t get a delivery slot for love not money sadly!

That's quite a nice task, isn't it?!

I got some gorgeous orange and ginger marmalade from Mrs Bumblees but they also do orange and whiskey

Not on the High Street have lots of ideas. Or what about a hamper from Betty's?

Forman and Field, it’s not just smoked salmon, they do all sorts of things

Gun Dog Gin do delicious blackcurrant gin

I’m salivating at the Forman and Field website!

Frownette it’s my favourite gift to shop for in the whole year! He’s a nightmare to buy for so this is always so well received!

Thanks all, v much appreciated

Cheeky bump again for more fab ideas!
