**This is guidance only, so if you're unsure if the contents will fit, then either go for the next size up or contact us before purchasing. In the unlikely event you have purchased our XL box and your chosen items will fit & look better in the smaller box, then we will use the smaller box & make up the value with complementary items. On the other end of the scale, if any items you have purchased do not fit in the box you have chosen, then we will refund the cost of the item/s**

What packaging do you use – is it eco-friendly?
Yes! We aim to keep our packaging as environmentally friendly as possible.
Outer packaging:
All orders are delivered in recyclable cardboard boxes, sealed with paper parcel tape. We use paper void fill where needed—all of which can go straight into your kerbside recycling.
Ice packs:
When required, we include ice packs to keep your order cool. These are filled with distilled water and can be reused for lunch boxes and picnics. If you’d prefer not to keep them, simply pour the water away and recycle the outer plastic.
Hampers & wood wool:
Our hamper boxes are made from reinforced, coated card that’s fully recyclable. Inside, we use eco-friendly, kiln-dried wood wool to cushion your items. This natural material is made from excess spruce wood sourced from PEFC-certified European forests. It’s 100% biodegradable, and can be recycled, composted, reused—or even burned safely.
While we reuse outer packaging where we can, hamper boxes are always brand new to ensure your gift looks its best on arrival.
Everything is designed to protect your order and tread more lightly on the planet.
