NEW for 2025
Start the evening with chilled cava and a round of cheers. Then open a bottle of Ribera del Duero, ready for the main event – smoky grilled meat or a slow-cooked pot of lentils.
The table fills itself: truffle crisps, Gordal olives, Marcona almonds, and regañás for scooping wild boar pâté. Finish on something sweet as the night winds down, with chocolate figs and fine Amatller leaves melting away. Everything you need for a relaxed Spanish-style dinner, ready to share.

The Sips & Snacks Celebration Hamper is made for drinks and nibbles. Inside are two bottles of Turdión cava – one white, one rosé – ready for big moments and long evenings.
Around them is a generous mix of sweet and savoury bites, from pistachio truffles and butter caramels to chocolate orange, liquorice, and fruit jellies, each bringing its own bite and texture.
Savoury snacks set the pace, with tartiflette crisps, pickle chips, Gordal olives, and toasted Marcona almonds.
Amarena cherries, tiramisu chocolate, and cocktail jellies bring things to a close. Open the box, pour a glass, and start sharing.
The Best of Japan Hamper brings everyday Japanese cooking into your kitchen. Bright yuzu, smoky dashi, fragrant rice, and the quiet pleasure of eating from hand-painted rabbit bowls set the tone.

Expect citrus warmth from yuzu kosho, nutty crunch from ume sesame furikake, and pantry staples that turn simple meals into something memorable. Open it, cook from it, and let Japanese flavours guide the way.
