Have you heard of self-gifting? It’s a fantastic new gifting trend that we absolutely encourage. Why? Because gifting is all about bringing joy and it’s doesn’t only have to be to others, but to yourself too. It’s all about wellness, pampering, and self-care!
Once in a while, and especially at Christmas, why not make the special recipient yourself?
Self-gifting at Christmas... start with some relaxation!
Christmas can be a difficult and busy time – so make sure you take some time just for you, for a little pampering.
Self-care at Christmas is important, but it can be hard to do. Treat yourselves with one of our indulgent hampers and upon its arrival, step away and have that vital “me time”.
Pop one of our Festive Night In Hampers in your basket. The mince pies are the perfect balance of buttery, crumbly, sweet and spicy. Whilst the appropriately-named bottle of Jacob Marley's mulled wine will fill your home with festive scents, this warming drink helps you to relax and switch off, as you gaze into the roaring fire enjoying your self-care package.
For a little indulgence, we highly recommend Let It Snow Christmas Hamper, packed full of festive favourites. Put on your favourite film and snuggle up under a warm blanket, then open this gorgeous gift box filled with sweet and savoury treats, including mince pies, biscuits, chocolates, peanuts and a whole bar of white chocolate.
If this doesn’t quite tickle your fancy, then why not choose a hamper full of your very own self-care favourites? We have lots of chocolate, sweet and cheese hampers to choose from.
Finally, why not get away from traditional festive treats and purchase the ultimate self-care gift? Choose one of our Pamper Hampers, this Christmas.
Give yourself a pamper experience before the big day or after the office Christmas party, from the comfort of your own home.
There is a whole range of sweet treats and nibbles inside, as well as self-care items like a box of Banks-Lyon Botanical Rose and Geranium bath salts, clay face maskes and scented candles. Enjoy a long, hot bath with plenty to help you relax and unwind.
Treat yourself to an afternoon off
Whether it’s the pre-Christmas shopping rush, or the post-Christmas come down after finishing all of the gift wrapping and cooking – give yourself the gift of an afternoon off to relax with a self-care hamper.
Book it in your diary now. Then, make it extra special with one of our luxury Christmas Afternoon Tea hampers.
Explore our Festive Afternoon tea hamper packed full of warming winter flavours, including the award-winning cinnamon, cranberry and pumpkin seed flapjacks, to a showstopper holly decked fruit cake.
