Gifting During The Covid-19 Lockdown Review: May 2020 #Gifted
Due to the current Coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak lockdown and with social distancing in place it is not always possible to celebrate with family, friends and loved ones.
Stay safe and Stay at home, but still celebrate by gifting with deliveries direct to the lucky recipient’s door.
Get Well Soon, Happy Birthday, I Love You, Happy Anniversary or simply a treat from you to you are all occasions to still celebrate and it is nice to be able to send a gorgeous gift to surprise the lucky recipient.
Making life much easier are the fabulous Fruity Gift brand who make a range of bespoke fruit hampers, fabulous fine chocolates and additional add on gifts such as teddy bears and balloons.
Make your lovely gifting celebrations a quality occasion.
Hoogly tea a British brand with a Nordic twist, founded by tea enthusiast Tina, is about the #Hygge’ way of life. Hyggelig (Hoogly) is the adjective of Hygge meaning combines feelings of warmth, cosiness and well-being.
Hoogly tea bags are hand blended and packed in the UK, ethically sourced, Fairtrade and their fully biodegradable pyramids have no plastic and are made from plant extract, so they are soil association certified.
Hoogly Teas, Hot chocolate, mugs and books are the perfect pressie to gift.
Prestige Flowers have made gorgeous gifting easy which is perfect for families. Offering UK delivery and to ensure safety they have a contactless delivery system in place now is the time to send a smile and give someone special a lovely surprise.
Pretty in perfect pink, this beautiful bunched bouquet of Rose’s and Lily’s along with a cute cuddly teddy and mini box of chocolate truffles is the perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary, get well soon or simply to say I love/appreciate you.
Why not go all out and add on a nutrition packed fruit tray perfect for a pick me up gift.
The Nutribox Gluten Free & Vegan Snack Box
The Nutribox offer a Vegan and Gluten-free snack delivery service directly to your door.
Ideal for family snacking at home, so there is no need to make an unnecessary visit to the shops #SnackSafely
The lovely large box is the biggest box which contains a staggeringly super snack filled 40 Gluten-Free and Vegan Snacks.
Perfect to enjoy, share or generously gift a box to make someone’s day a little brighter.
Birgitte Hovmand and Richard O’Connor, loved up couple and founders Chocolate & Love have exactly what you need for gifting during this lockdown.
Their premium organic Fairtrade chocolate bars are the perfect indulgent treat to gift to family, friends, loved ones or simply just to say Thank you.
With Vegan and Non-Vegan options and flavours such as Mint crisp, Pomegranate, Orange, Rich Dark and Panama there is something to suit every palette.
Why not present them in a beautifully recycled tote bag, made from recycled cotton and recycled bottles, so that you are helping our planet in the process too.
Stay Home and Stay Safe #GiftSafely
