For the birthday you can’t be at — or the one you can.
A hamper composed for the person, not the date: their cheese, their bottle, your words on the card, delivered on the day it matters.
What people actually write.
Eighty-four per cent of our hampers leave with a card in them. Here are five birthday ones, in the sender's own words.
“Happy birthday! Love from us and the increasing number of chickens.”
Funny“Get stuffed…on your gift basket! Oh, and Happy Birthday by the way.”
Cheeky“Happy Birthday Mum! We hope you have a lovely day and we wish we could be celebrating together. We are so lucky to have such a wonderfully caring and loving Mum. You've handled hard times with a (mostly) positive attitude, sense of self and a laugh, and we are so proud of you. Love from us both xxx”
Proud“Happy Birthday you. Can't wait to celebrate with you in REAL LIFE soon xxx Love you 33 million 🥳🥰 Mum + Dad and the Sexy Six”
Exuberant“Hope you enjoy this in the sunshine... Happy Birthday Luv us all xxx”
WarmEvery word real, taken from an order. Signatures removed and nothing kept that could point at a person — so these are the words, not the people.
How a good birthday hamper comes together
Start with their cheese
The most-added things in the whole larder are cheese. Begin where they’d begin.
A bottle makes it an evening
Something to open on the day — matched to what’s already in the box.
Your words, on the card
Printed on an ivory card, hand-written envelope, tucked in with the food.
Or start from one of ours.
See every hamper →Composed already — or build your own from the whole larder, and write the card.
