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.​
