Why buy a Hamper?
Hampers make great gifts for all business associates, friends and family. Imagine the delight as your recipient opens the basket an uncovers each delicious item one by one. Larger hampers also make great family gifts with many products to ensure suitable treats for all family members to share. Finally, hampers can be enjoyed over a prolonged period, such as the holiday season.

Why buy a Birchall’s Hamper?

Simply put, we’re the best in the business – read why our hampers make the ultimate gift…

PRODUCE:
We insist on the use of only the highest quality products and taste test everything to ensure our high standard is maintained. Many gourmet products are sourced from Irish indigenous suppliers. Using strict QC procedures, all expiry dates are carefully monitored and dispatched well in advance of these dates to ensure the recipient can enjoy the goods at their leisure. Our hamper contents are modified each year, should you wish to give a similarly priced hamper to the same recipient.

PRESENTATION:
When gift-giving, presentation is paramount and our hampers arrive exquisitely presented. Following our production designs, each product has a special place in that particular basket with decorative sizzlepak and biodegradable loose fill added where necessary. We then shrink-wrap all open baskets to secure the products. Finally each hamper is placed into individually ‘fragile’ labelled shipping boxes for secure transport.

BASKET:
We use high quality hand-made wicker baskets manufactured to our specifications. They are not only attractive, but also provide a very practical means of storage, be it in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom or playroom. These make a great gift in themselves.

SHIPPING:
We use reliable nationwide carriers, each parcel is fully insured and can be tracked and traced. If there are any delays, we can contact the couriers directly for fast resolution. All individual orders received before 2pm are dispatched that same day and delivered within 1 to 2 days anywhere in Ireland. Shipping costs a flat fee of €9.95 for up to 5 hampers/gifts!

GREETINGS:
All hampers can include your own corporate literature / complimentary slips. Alternatively, we can include individual greetings in each hamper on standard gift cards.

ALL YEAR ROUND SERVICE:
Although Christmas is our busiest period, gifts.ie provides a professional hamper and gift service all year round. We’re here to assist you with all your corporate and personal gift requirements whenever you need us.
