Happy Hampers

Introducing our brand new “I Feel Like” hampers

Any customary occasion of gift giving whether Easter or Christmas, a birthday or that celebration peculiar only to Greece, the name day, lends itself to a gift hamper.

Our hand-woven baskets, crammed with delicacies and thoughtfully sourced products are also filled with a sense of excitement and wonder.

Having lived for so many years in England, I had great exposure to the culture of the Christmas hamper, ubiquitously a rectangular and bulky straw container, sometimes hinged closed with leather straps, which could be recycled as an ample picnic basket. The contents were a medley of repetitive indulgent treats, unnecessary items and some products one had never tasted. The delight was definitely in the discovery, unboxing as it is now called!!!

In 2019 we began composing gift “bundles” replying to the needs of our corporate clients for Christmas hampers which showcased excellent and authentic Greek products.

Our hand-woven baskets, crammed with delicacies and thoughtfully sourced products are also filled with a sense of excitement and wonder.

During spring of last year, when stores shuttered and lockdown became a new and daunting reality we all faced, we drew on our imagination and on the resources of our well stocked Magic Cabinet pantry creating our excellent Spring Hampers. Moving to last Christmas, our festive collections were ever more luscious and exuberant and we were proud to be able to tailor each basket to complement the taste of our company clients.

As time passed, we also found ourselves imagining the inspiration behind each type of hamper transitioning from a category to an experience. This is why we were inspired to call our brand-new Easter and Spring Baskets the “I Feel Like” hampers.

Chosen names like I Feel Like Veranda Cocktails, I Feel Like a Walk in the Woods, I Feel like a Fresh Start and I Feel Like Eating Pasta All Day, are not as much a list of contents as a wish.

I suppose you could call them Hampers with Feeling. They have certainly been assembled by our team here with enthusiasm and a love of Greece and its wonders.

Now that the sun is shining again, the chance to reunite with those we love seems not far away and the opportunity to just have some fun alone or with company is here, please enjoy these spring baskets.
