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!

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

Spudina · 15/09/2021 12:20

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.

RainCloude · 15/09/2021 15:15

We are not sure but that is a kind offer Smile

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?

Redglitter · 15/09/2021 16:03

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

RainCloude · 16/09/2021 10:50

@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.
