IDEAS FOR HIM AND HER
A personalised gift hamper is the perfect gift to say “I love you” this Valentine’s Day. Buying a pre-made hamper seems a little impersonal. We offer personalised crates for that extra special gift and here are our ideas of how to get a “WOW!” on 14th February.
A well thought out, personalised crate hamper that you have created yourself is light years better than any pre-packed one that you can buy at the shops. Making your hamper truly personalised with a specific message will guarantee it is useful, filled with goodies the receiver will love, and in these times you can be frugal with on sale, second-hand and handmade items.
- Theme your hamper
Who is the crate for? What are their interests and hobbies, likes and dislikes? Just because it’s Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t have to be pink, red and hearts. Make it truly unique to the recipient.
- Foodies – perhaps your loved one is a chocoholic or King of the BBQ. It doesn’t have to be food, it could be wine or beer to celebrate the end of Dry January too!
- Gardening theme – for the green-fingered, perfect timing for the start of Spring when the garden comes back to life.
- Spa hamper
- Crafting theme – quilting odds and ends and fabric to encourage and inspire their newly found lockdown skills perhaps?
- Movie-themed crate – for a cosy night in
2. Decide on your budget
Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to break the bank – there are plenty of ways to create an amazing personalised crate hamper without going into the red. Often the most precious contents are the thoughtful ones that have clearly taken time to put together such as homemade biscuits or truffles. The lucky recipient will be able to see how much effort you have put in and time spent making things.
3. What to put into your personalised crate hamper
You can put anything in your hamper. The important thing is that the contents are personal to the receiver. Make sure they reflect your theme, so if you’re making a wine hamper then perhaps include some wine glasses. For a keen gardener, maybe pot up a plant together with some seeds and some pocket pruners. Now is the perfect time to pick up some post-Christmas bargains too.
Our Personalised Half Bushel Crate is perfect for that original and meaningful gift. Your Crate can be hand painted in a range of colours so order yours today and give a gift that your significant other will love!
