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.​
