Speedy delivery for a speedy apology

If you need to smooth things over ASAP, we can organise free next day UK delivery. That’s why our “make-up” hampers are so special because they will arrive as quickly as your formal apology!

What apology gifts should I buy?

When you need to get back in your loved one’s good books, we’d recommend spoiling them with lavish delights. Send Belgian chocolates their way, a bottle of Afternoon Darjeeling-Infused Parlour Gin or the ultimate Personalised Hamper bursting with all of their favourite food items. However big you need to go and whatever your budget, there are gift ideas to resolve rows and misunderstandings.

But in what scenario would you need to send one of our “I’m sorry” gifts and which ones in our offering are best suited to these situations?

For a missed anniversary

It might be that you forgot you and your partner’s big anniversary this year, and they’re not too pleased with you. If that’s the case, we have plenty of apology gifts for him as well as “I’m super sorry” gifts for her.

You can treat your better half to a special night in with our Date Night Delights Food Selection. This precious product is packed with melt-in-the-mouth Savoury Biscuits, a whole wheel of Godminster Organic Vintage Cheddar, plus a jar of rich Fig Chutney, it's truly the ideal date in a box!

Did we mention that this blissful bundle comes complete with a bottle of crisp Sauvignon Blanc? Well, it’s included, and it’s perfect for sharing for when they accept your apology. There’s also a carton of our finest Butter Fudge in there. Although, it’s probably best to let them keep that treasured treat to themselves!

A present to make up for a cancelled event

If you can't make your besties engagement party or another big event, send your apology with a glorious gift box to soften the blow! Choose from our wide selection of ooey-gooey chocolate hampers, sumptuously savoury gifts and prime pantry staples. Trust us, they're sure to accept your apology with good grace once they’ve received one of these apology gift baskets.

For a missed, but important, birthday celebration

Maybe the time has gotten away with you and you forgot about an important upcoming date, like one of your parents’ 60th birthday? Didn't send a gift? Not to worry, you can make up for it with a showstopping snack bundle, such as the Salted Caramel Extravaganza Hamper in our range.

This beauty is chock full of some of our most popular items, and is the ideal gift box for you to send when you've messed up! Plus, if they have a real sweet tooth, it’ll be like nothing ever happened in no time…

You’ll get to treat them to our rich, tongue-tingling Salted Caramel Drinking Chocolate, alongside other truly decadent sweet treats. This includes a tin of our indulgent Sea Salted Fudge, moreish Salted Caramel Biscuits, melt-in-the-mouth Salted Caramel Shortbread Rounds and oh-so crunchy Sea Salted Almonds, coated in smooth milk chocolate.
