We can’t help but feel like every single one of the hampers at Slattery is a temptation waiting to happen. Take the Chocolate Treat Bag, for instance. We’ve sent this out as a casual gift before, and it was an instant hit. 

From our observations, the Chocoholics Dream is a consistent crowd-pleaser, especially for those special occasions like romantic dates or anniversaries. 

The Birthday Box is another standout. With personalised chocolates and sweet treats, it’s practically a party in a box. 

While this is lovely,  we did notice that the packaging leans more towards elaborate designs rather than minimalist ones. It feels a bit busy and draws attention away from the individual details.

Now, if you’re like us and can’t resist a good cup of hot chocolate, the Hot Chocolate Selection is a must-try. You’ll enjoy this one on rainy afternoons, and it honestly makes you feel like you’re treating yourself to a café-worthy drink right at home.

Great place!

“I’ve been coming here for years and it just never disappoints. A great place to come for a special occasion and especially if you have a sweet tooth!”

Chorlton Cheesemongers is a place that feels like a well-kept secret—until you realise everyone else has already fallen in love with it, too. We’ve heard countless customers rave about their cheese hampers, and after seeing them ourselves, we completely understand why. 

We’ve seen this one praised repeatedly for its balanced selection—customers love how it brings together sharp, tangy varieties alongside creamier options, making it perfect for a cheese-tasting night at home. 

For larger gatherings, the Celebration Hamper is the one to go for. We’ve seen this hamper steal the spotlight at events with its impressive array of bold and luxurious cheeses.

In addition, customers appreciate the chance to hand-pick cheeses and accompaniments, tailoring the hamper to personal tastes. The process is simple—just select your favourites, jot down “gift box” in the notes, and leave the rest to them.

But be sure to plan, as their most popular cheeses tend to sell out quickly.

Best quality!

“The best artisan British cheese and all the best quality accompaniments.”

-David Clarke, Google Review

Friendly staff

“A great selection of cheeses served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. I bought a cheese stack for my birthday and everyone raved about it.”

Whittard of Chelsea in Manchester is the place to go if you want to take your tea, coffee, or hot chocolate obsession to the next level. And when it comes to hampers, Whittard’s offerings don’t just satisfy—they spoil. 

Take The British Icons Mini Caddy Gift Box, for example. We’ve seen many customers say they often end up keeping these caddies for themselves, which speaks volumes about the quality and presentation.

For those with a penchant for hot chocolate, the Luxury Hot Chocolate Gift Box is a sure-fire hit. We’ve heard countless customers rave about the richness of the flavours, and we can attest—each sip feels like you’re drinking pure indulgence.

If you want to go all out, The Signature Hot Chocolate Hamper is a must. With an impressive selection of hot chocolates, marshmallows, and all the fixings, customers often comment on how it turns a simple drink into a luxurious experience.

However, we’ve noticed that with so many options, choosing the right hamper can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, so it’s best to have a clear idea of what your recipient enjoys.

Wonderful prices!

“What an amazing place loved it every part of it the coffee beans, the tea, the herbs, wonderful prices and definitely going there next year.”

The community at Companio Bakery feels unmistakable, and it’s no wonder people keep coming back for more. 

One of the things we love about Companio is how they’ve created hampers that showcase their craftsmanship with the Bakery Selection Hamper being a perfect example. Clients have mentioned that it feels like opening a treasure chest of baked goods.

And let’s not forget their Pastry Box. We’ve had customers tell us that the moment they unwrap it, the buttery layers of the croissants are melt-in-your-mouth good, and the pain au chocolat? Well, let’s just say it’s dangerously addictive. 

Do note that it’s important to plan ahead—Companio’s limited opening days mean you need to time your visit right, as their popular items can sell out quickly.

Overall, Companio stands out for how friendly and welcoming the team is. Many regulars talk about being greeted like old friends, and you can feel the sense of community the moment you walk in.

The best!

From the moment we stepped in at EZ Hampers, we were greeted with warmth, as though we were already part of their close-knit community of clients. And, if you’re like us and get a bit indecisive, the staff’s expertise and care can take the stress out of making the perfect selection.

Take the Father’s Beer & Choc Hamper, for instance. What we love about this hamper is it’s something that feels crafted with intention, and that resonates with clients who want to give something memorable.

For something with a bit of a twist, the Father’s Beer & Bombay Mix Hamper delivers a surprising but perfect match. We’ve noticed that customers love the unique combination of crisp beer and spicy Bombay mix, which feels different from your typical gift options.

With that said, some hampers are on the pricier side, but you definitely get what you pay for in quality and service.

Great range of products!

“Great range of drinks and snacks, many locally sourced. Friendly, helpful staff and a gorgeous location tucked away on the canal side.”

-Frith Overy, Google Review
