Seasonal gift picks

Throughout the year, we put together special collections that match the moment. Same quality, same handmade approach — just themed to fit the season. Here's what's current and what's coming up next.

Summer celebrations (June–August)

Summer brings a wave of birthdays, weddings, and thank-you gifts. The palette shifts to lighter tones — soft peach, sage green, ivory — with fresh flower arrangements where possible. Our summer hat-box hampers often include hand-poured citrus and herb candles alongside the chocolate selection.

• Summer bloom bouquet — Chocolates arranged with dried lavender stems and eucalyptus. Light, fragrant, and summery. From £38.
• Garden party hamper — Hat box with a silk-flower arrangement, artisan biscuits, two citronella garden candles, and a linen napkin set. From £72.
• Wedding congratulations — Ivory and gold palette. Champagne truffles, a pair of soy candles in glass votives, a personalised card. From £55.

Autumn and back-to-school (September–October)

Deeper colours return — burgundy, amber, forest green. The candle scents shift to warm spice, cinnamon, and woodsmoke. These are the months for teacher thank-you gifts and early anniversary orders before the Christmas rush hits.

• Autumn spice candle bouquet — Hand-poured candles in amber and clove fragrances, arranged with dried orange slices. From £48.
• Teacher's thank-you box — A compact hat box with a small candle, four premium chocolates, and a hand-written card. Designed as a meaningful gift that doesn't ask the teacher to store something large. From £32.

Christmas and festive season (November–December)

Our busiest months by far. The festive collection goes live in early November and runs through to the 20th of December (final dispatch for Christmas delivery). Classic red and gold, modern monochrome and silver, or the softer blush-and-copper palette — all available across the full range.

• Festive luxury bouquet — 30+ chocolates with gold foil wrapping, baubles, and ribbon. The centrepiece gift. From £68.
• 12 Days hamper — A large hat box with twelve individually wrapped surprises inside — one for each day before Christmas. From £95.
• Secret Santa collection — Smaller, budget-friendly pieces starting at £18. Designed for office or group exchanges with a £20 limit.
• Christmas Eve box — Family-sized hamper with enough for the whole household. Hot-chocolate supplies, festive candles, a film-night snack selection. From £78.

Valentine's Day (February)

Red and rose-gold dominate. The Valentine's range is deliberately not just for romantic partners — we see a lot of Galentine's orders, mother-daughter gifts, and best-friend bouquets alongside the traditional couple's pieces.

• Red rose chocolate bouquet — Premium chocolates arranged with silk red roses and heart-shaped accents. From £45.
• Couples' evening box — Two candles, a chocolate selection for sharing, and two miniature bottles (prosecco or non-alcoholic alternative). From £62.

Mother's Day (March)

Pink, ivory, and pastel dominate. This is the single busiest weekend of the year for deliveries. We recommend ordering at least five days ahead to guarantee your preferred delivery date.

• "Best Mum" hat-box hamper — Embossed lid, full flower arrangement, premium chocolates, hand cream, and a personalised card. From £75.
• Candle and chocolate set — A paired gift with a large statement candle and a coordinated chocolate bouquet. From £52.

Father's Day (June)

Deeper palettes, more straightforward presentation. The sundries shift to whisky miniatures, hot sauces, coffee, or craft beer — depending on what you tell us about the recipient.

• Whisky and chocolate hamper — A curated box with two miniatures, dark chocolate truffles, and a pair of candles in oak and tobacco scents. From £68.
• Beer and snack box — Three craft beers, savoury biscuits, and a small chocolate selection. From £52.

Order timing

For all seasonal collections, earlier is better. We handmake everything on the morning of dispatch, so we're limited by how many we can assemble in a day. Peak dates (Mother's Day, Christmas week, Valentine's Day) fill up quickly. If you have a specific delivery date in mind, get in touch as early as possible and we'll reserve your slot.

Email [email protected] with the occasion, delivery date, and any preferences. We'll confirm availability the same working day.
