DESCRIPTION

Romantic gift box with your choice of wine, cider or cocktails, paired with chocolate, peppermint truffles, whisky shortbread and a natural candle. A luxury date night hamper designed for sharing.

Ideal for anniversaries, date nights or special occasions. A thoughtful, ready-made gift box that creates a memorable experience.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • A bottle to pop — choose from English sparkling wine, craft cider, or a ready-to-pour espresso martini

  • Summerdown peppermint truffles, made in small batches with English peppermint

  • Willie’s Cacao milk chocolate, rich, smooth and properly indulgent

Every product is made by an independent British producer, chosen for quality, flavour and feel — the kind of things you’d love to discover, but rarely buy for yourself.

Whether it’s shared or savoured solo, this box is about slowing down, pouring a drink, lighting a candle and enjoying something a little special.

Because it feels personal, intimate, and considered.

For anniversaries, date nights, and meaningful gestures.

Great items and wonderful presentation. Sent early to avoid disappointment. The team were super accommodating when an extra order of hot sauce was added to avoid a delay. We loved all the products.

Biscuits & Customer service excellent

These biscuits were delicious and packaged beautifully. Customer service was also excellent, I had a slight problem with delivery dates but Brittany sorted it immediately and made sure we had our biscuits on time for Burns Night. Would definitely recommend, thank again!

Give a gift they'll actually want

Excellent gifting service - highly recommend. For people who are looking for a high quality, curated hamper rather than something full of mass-produced chutneys that will gather dust at the back of your cupboard. The handwritten note adds to the personal touch, and the free delivery was very efficient. Don't give your money to The Man, support The Local!

An Amazing Gift

We were given a hamper from The Local as a present after having a baby and I can honestly tell you it was the best thing.

Incredibly luxurious and full of things that you won't find anywhere else, plus it was delivered in less than 24 hours.

I never normally write reviews, but I love this business and I love this concept and will be a long time customer so thought I would make an exception and show my support.

Best Hampers

Best. Hampers. Ever! Seriously, I couldn't recommend these more. I bought two beautiful Christmas hampers for family and they absolutely loved them. All the produce is top quality and I've gone on to buy the coffee and wine for myself. So nice to support a growing local business too 🙏 Thanks for a great service.

The produce from their hamper was…

The produce from their hamper was incredible. Very high quality produce, delivered on time and packaged beautifully. This was a perfect gift from one of our business partners. We especially enjoyed the local sparkling wine and my wife is in love with the quality of the coffee. If I could give 6 stars, I would! Will be contacting The Local in the new year for some gift ideas for our suppliers.

Our curation

Every product in our gift boxes is chosen with intention.

We work closely with independent British makers who care deeply about quality, craft and provenance — producers who take the long route, use thoughtful ingredients and make things properly. Each item is selected not just for how it tastes or looks, but for how it feels to give and receive.

The result is a gift that’s generous, considered and genuinely special — designed to be enjoyed together, slowly, and remembered long after it’s opened.
