Our Ethos
In a nutshell… We create beautiful luxury hampers brimming with 100% Somerset produce. Every item is made by artisan and craft producers from within our glorious county.
​
Oh, and we love being green (and we're not just talking about our boxes).
Luxury doesn’t have to cost the earth.

LUXURY & FINE QUALITY
PURE SOMERSET hampers are designed to create that ‘Ooh!’ moment for the lucky recipient.
​
-
Each beautiful box hamper is hand-assembled to order with a sprinkle of Somerset magic. But we never compromise on sourcing local and eco-friendly products.
​​
-
Every item is hand-picked for its high quality and general wonderfulness, made with love and skill.
​​
-
We personally sample every product to make sure it meets our high standards (it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!)
​​
-
We truly believe in supporting Somerset businesses who are making outstanding products. Our hampers offer a new way to share those products far and wide.
LOCAL
This is our belt and braces. We only use products sourced or made in Somerset.
​
-
Every hamper is a showcase of the best Somerset produce.
​​
-
We champion small companies… celebrate small-batch producers… rejoice the crafters and grafters of Somerset! We want to share their skills and passion with as many people as possible.
​​
-
And of course… low food miles mean low carbon emissions, less congestion and less air pollution. Hoorah!
-
Every hamper you buy, helps to support the communities of Somerset.​

​
LOVE THE PLANET
PURE SOMERSET products are chosen because are fabulous AND eco-friendly. We aim to be green at every step of hamper creation, from packaging to produce.
​
-
Unlike many online hamper companies, we avoid imported goods, packaging or labelling. And we try to keep transport to a minimum. We ONLY use Somerset-based companies for all our products and gifts.
​​
-
For products that are not available locally (for example our wood wool packing material), we only used UK-based companies. This sometimes mean that we have to pay more for our raw materials, but we think it's a price worth paying. Better for the environment, better for the local economy and better for people in working communities.
-
All packaging made from recycled / biodegradable FSC accredited materials.
​​
-
All packaging can be 100% re-used or recycled. Or is made of biodegradable materials.
​​
-
Items are sourced or made locally, with super eco and ethical standards.
​​
-
We avoid plastic wherever possible. Any plastic wrapping necessary in some products can be recycled at designated sites.​
