CHRISTMAS · ARRIVING ON THE DAY YOU NAME

The hamper they’ll expect again next year.

Composed for them, hand-packed in Sussex, and sent for the day you name. We’ll publish the last Christmas delivery dates here.

A Christmas card
Merry Christmas

What people actually write.

Five of last December's cards, in the senders' own words — and not one of them mentions the year.

“Merry Christmas! Hope you have a slope-ing good time chomping away at these treats! Here's to keeping you fuelled for all those daring runs. From a member of the secret Santa team!”

Funny

“Happy Christmas! Hope you enjoy these treats. Lots of love from all three of us, the cat included xx”

Warm

“Have a lovely Christmas. Hope you can find a use for the contents of this hamper!! Lots of love from us both xxxx”

Warm

“Have a fab Xmas! It's mostly Keto I think although I thought a little chocolate at Xmas might be allowed :) Lots of love from all of us xxx”

Thoughtful

“Merry Christmas! Have a lovely time celebrating. Lots of love from the three of us xxx”

Warm

Every 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 Christmas hamper comes together

01

The Christmas cheeseboard

Two or three proper cheeses — the centrepiece of the table between the big meals.

02

A bottle for the table

A fizz to open, or a red for the cold-cuts night after.

03

A card they’ll keep

Your words, on an ivory card — the part that stays after the food is gone.

A wicker basket open on a dark table beside a lit fire, holding a bottle of Muriel Rioja, a black waxed truckle of Snowdonia Black Bomber and a wedge of Cropwell Bishop Blue Stilton, with eucalyptus sprigs and two brass candlesticks alongside.
A basket, a fire and two candles. The basket is theirs to keep.

The Christmas one.

The last posting day

We’ll publish the Christmas cut-off dates here, and say them plainly rather than counting down at you.

The day it lands

You pick the delivery date, not the dispatch date — so it can sit under the tree rather than on a doorstep in November.
