PRODUCT : Highland Fayre Luxury Hamper

By Adele Conn

I love raking through the ‘cheesy wossit’ packaging; there is always some wonderful delights hidden underneath. Hampers bring me sheer joy, slowly unwrapping and discovering whats inside the basket.

Highland Fayre, kindly sent me one of their luxury Scottish gift baskets filled with many Scottish treats. With many hampers, I often end up eating the produce randomly across various meals or snack times but luckily this hamper contained all the elements to accompany an Afternoon Tea.

REVIEW OF HIGHLAND FAYRE LUXURY HAMPERS

Based in Perth, Highland Fayre have been creating luxury hampers for over 35 years. It all started with the selling of Wild Smoked Salmon and today has grown into Scotland’s No1 Luxury Food and Wine Hampers that sell across the globe.

They have ready made hampers for every occasion including Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries etc, but they can also customise your hamper for corporate events or for someone special.

MY REVIEW

The wicker basket is of very high quality and comes with a lovely metal lock rather than the usual belt and buckle giving it a real quality feel.

Perfectly packed like an expert jenga master, this basket comes with eight Scottish food items and represents a true Taste of Scotland.

  • The Handmade Perthshire Oatcake Company Thin & Crispy Oatcakes (150g)

  • Stag Bakers Original Water Biscuits (150g)

  • Mackays Red Pepper & Smoked Paprika Chutney (205g)

  • Nevis Butterscotch Cake (360g)

  • Mackays Scottish Three Berry Preserve (340g)

  • Border Biscuits Butterscotch Crunch (135g)

  • High Croft Tasty Tablet presented in a Box (125g)

  • The Cocoa Bean Company Luxury Handmade Chocolate Bar topped with cubes of fudge with Yellow Ribbon (80g)

Most of the items for my Afternoon Tea came with this hamper excluding the scones, cheese, grapes and cream. All the food was of gourmet standard and a great way to highlight some of Scotland’s best small producers. I particularly fell in love with the tablet and the Red Pepper & Smoked Paprika Chutney.

Top Tier - Fudge Chocolate, Tablet and Butterscotch Biscuits.

Middle Tier - Oatcakes, water biscuits and Chutney.

Bottom Tier - Butterscotch Cake and Preserve.

An absolute superb gift whether it be for your staff, your guests, friends or family.
