Unusual Gift Requests

August 26th, 2010

Different and unusual gifts are a regular part of our business and we recently had a large corporate client request a gift that was a many items presented within the trunk below.

As usual our team rose to the challenge and managed to source a huge array of items (these are very big trunks and need a lot of items to fill them) whilst meeting the client requirements and budget.

Hampering Around takes great pride in its ability to meet any unusual and different gift requests from our clients.  For us gifts are not all just about hampers, gifting is so much broader than that.   Keep an eye on our website as we are launching our Christmas Range over the next few days and this will include some alternative/different gift ideas also.

Gift Fair

August 19th, 2010

Hampering Around attends the gift fair in Sydney and Melbourne each year.  Gift Fairs are an important part of our business as they present us with the opportunity to see new trends, products and are a great prompter for new ideas for our range.

This year we were specifically look for products to compliment our Baby Hampers, Australian Gifts, Pet Gifts and Organic Gifts.  Whilst we have been doing Baby Gifts for a long time, the other categories are new areas we have moved into.  We are finding more and more that as a company we need to offer a broader range of gift to meet our clients requirements.  For this reason we no longer are simply a “Hamper” company, our range is much broader and we are more and more providing our clients with customised gifts to meet a specific requirement or occasion.   Sometimes this can mean a gift with no food or alcohol.

Fathers Day Gifts

August 11th, 2010

We have just launched our range of Fathers Day gifts for this year and as we do each year we try to prepare gifts that will appeal to males of different ages.  Our development of gifts follows a set criteria and we try to provide unique and different options each year. In some instances we find that men are not remembered as often with gift giving and can be harder to buy for.  The other categories we also see male gifts purchased from are our Corporate Gifts, Hampers and Birthday Gifts.  A particular favourite for males from our range is the Mens Mag Hamper.
