5 wedding gift hampers for the 'hard-to-buy-for' couple
There are many reasons why a couple may choose to request no gifts or not supply a wedding list or gift suggestions.
It is particularly common for second marriages or with mature couples who just don’t feel they need anything.
Many a bride or groom are also very aware of the costs surrounding a wedding for a guest and wouldn’t want to impose further.
However, as the friends and family of the special couple, that doesn’t mean you don’t want to treat them to something and give them something special to enjoy together.
This is why we highly recommend a hamper.
It can offer new taste experiences that the couple can indulge in together, whilst relaxing after their special day.
As consumables, it also means you have not cluttered up their house with unnecessary items, but instead are offering them a taste experience that will be memorable and special.
Here are our 5 recommendation – wedding gift hampers that will offer you newly-weds something a little different try....
Summertime Sharing Hamper
Indulge the newly weds’ love of ‘nibbles’ with this exquisite Summertime Sharing Hamper.
Have you heard of ‘snacking cheese’? Have you heard of ‘snacking pickles’? No! Well, then we bet your wedding couple won’t have either.
Check out the amazing range of savoury snacks from Savoury Pig, with these vegetarian snacks being no exception to the high quality range they offer.
Your gift recipients will also find cocktails, craft beer, and sparkling Elderflower to enjoy, as well as even more snacks and crisps to try.
Cocktail Lover’s Hamper
Did someone say cocktails??
If the bride or groom fancy themselves as a bit of a mixologist, then the Cocktail Lovers Hamper is the perfect wedding gift.
This hamper includes a Spirit of Zing Cocktail Set, designed by Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch cocktail expert, Pritesh Mody. The set contains four mini-bottles of pre-mixed cocktails including: Bordeaux Barrel-aged Negroni; Seville Orange Old Fashioned; Yuzu Whiskey Sour and a Salted Caramel Espresso Martin - there’s got to be at least one the couple wouldn’t have tried before, right?!
There is also a bag of savoury gourmet popcorn, a boozy trio of fudge and a bag of roasted peanuts, caramelised in a wonderfully fine glaze with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
Delicious!
Prosecco Rosé Indulgence Hamper
Designed with couples in mind, the Prosecco Rosé Indulgence Hamper screams wedding gift, but with a selection of more unique products that each have their own story to tell.
Firstly, did you know that Prosecco Rosé was only ready for its first exports a couple of years ago…therefore, there is a chance your chosen soon-to-be married may not have had chance to try this delicious Italian fizz just yet.
There are also an amazing selection of sweet treats from almond thins, to honeycomb chocolate and French-inspired macarons.
It’s the combination of treat after treat that makes this the perfect wedding gift hamper for your special couple. Encourage them to have a quiet afternoon together, in front of their favourite movie, and indulge in this basket full of true delights.
Wine, Truffle Cheese & Duck Rillette Gift
For the cheese and biscuits lovers, our Wine, Truffle Cheese & Duck Rillette Gift is a great chance to give the couple who has everything something you know they will love…but also something a little bit different.
Of course, your special couple will find cheese, crackers, chutney and an utterly rich bottle of red wine…just as you would expect in a traditional cheese and wine hamper….however, there is so much more to discover in this particular gift.
Firstly, there is a duck rillette. Rillette is like a course pate, and is a great addition to any cheese board. The Cornish Charcuterie’s Duck Rillette is made from Cornish free-range duck, lightly seasoned, and with a generous helping of black cherry too.
Secondly, there is not just any old cheese to try. Your wedding couple will find award-winning Extra Mature Cheddar with Black Summer Truffle, from the Snowdonia Cheese Company. The cheese has a smooth creamy texture with small truffle flecks throughout.
This is a truly mouth-watering selection with surprise flavours packed within.
Garden Tea Break Hamper
A good relationship is a little like a garden. It needs nurturing, care, tenderness, space to grow and, sometimes, a little hard work.
We love our Garden Tea Break Hamper because it represents time and space to relax, when the hard work is done. It encourages the gardeners to take a break and admire what they have accomplished. Why not share the same sentiment with your newly weds?
Encourage them to take a break together, as well as nurture something special.
This hamper incudes a delicious tin of English tea, as well as biscuits, fruitcake, and a millionaires slice. Plus, a candle, hand cream and a packet of intricately designed wildflower seeds for the couple to sow together and watch bloom.
