How to Build Mum’s Gift Basket

The best hampers have a mix of treats. Here’s what we recommend:

  1. Cake or Cream Teas: Golden Cornish Saffron Cake, crumbly Hevva Buns, or classic cream teas with clotted cream and jam. Add freshly baked scones for an authentic afternoon tea experience.
  2. Sweet Treats: Buttery shortbread biscuits, creamy fudge, or luxurious chocolates. Consider our Salted Caramel Pearls for an extra special touch.
  3. Drinks: Pink Prosecco Rose for a celebratory fizz, Tregothnan Tea for a relaxing brew, or Cornish Coffee for a rich and flavourful morning pick-me-up. You could also add a Bone China Mug so mum has the complete package.
  4. Savoury Delights: A Traditional Cornish Pasty for a hearty treat, a Cornish Cheese Selection with crackers, or a variety of chutneys to complement the flavours. Consider adding flavoured butters, artisan breads, or even a homemade relish for extra flair.

Easy Tips for Building

  • Pick a nice gift basket or box. Wicker baskets look charming, but a stylish gift box works too!
  • Make it pretty. Add tissue paper, shredded paper, or a soft napkin to give it a luxury feel.
  • Write a little note. A sweet, handwritten message makes it even more personal. If you want to go the extra mile, choose a beautiful Whistlefish greetings card to make your message even more special.
  • Arrange it nicely. Put taller items at the back and smaller ones at the front for a lovely display.
