Cornish Hampers from Purely Cornish Looe

A Cornish hamper is a great choice for a Cornish gift because it demonstrates thoughtfulness and effort by offering a curated selection of items tailored to the recipient's taste, allowing you to choose a variety of treats that suit their interests, whether it be gourmet food, Cornish drinks, beauty products, or a mix, all beautifully presented in a basket or attaractive reusable bg, making it a more personal and meaningful gift than a single item; it also gives the recipient the enjoyment of trying new things from Cornwall and sharing the experience with others. Variety A good hamper will work as a great gift for men because you can find different types and themes. With these options, you will have a lot of variety and choices altogether. You can use this to your advantage because if the recipient is silent about what they want, you can prod around and see what they are interested in. For example, you may find that they like to keep photos of their family and friends, or they frequently have dinner parties. With this information, you can choose what type of hamper and what sort of theme will match what they like. Mix It Up Another reason that makes gift hampers a great choice to give as a gift is that you can customise your own. If your recipient is very quiet about what they want, you can simply throw in just about anything that you think will meet their interests since customising hampers is very common and convenient; there are many items that you can include in a gift hamper, whether it is edible or not. There are also gift hampers that are made to have it all. These can be a great choice. Something like a Gourmet Hamper will have just about everything you need. The person you give this to can also share it with their family and friends when they come over. That’s a win-win. Wide Budget Range If you are concerned with how much gift hampers cost in the UK due to a limited budget, don’t worry; a gift hamper is a lifesaver. Since there are many types and variations, you can pick one closest to your budget limit. The great thing about this is that you can still find many choices. At Hamper Lounge, we have inexpensive packages, but they still pack a punch in terms of quality. A limited budget should not limit the beauty of your gift. A great gift is not just about the thought but the overall appeal as well. Take your time looking around, and you will find the perfect gifts for men in your life. Wine Selection No celebration is complete without a great bottle of wine. Pick out a gift hamper with a bottle of wine, a pack of local craft beer, or both. These will surely liven up the celebration or perhaps make the evening more intimate. If the person you are giving a gift to likes gin or whiskey, there is also a hamper perfect for them. The great thing about hampers is that you can build them up however you want. One tip is that you can secretly ask the person you’re giving a gift to what type of wine or other drink they like the most, and then you can include that in the hamper. It’s a Classy Gift One of the most dreaded things that may happen when giving gifts is that they may not fit the overall motif of the event. But thank goodness, because gift hampers for men are very classy. They look great, and they can even be mistaken for the centrepiece of the event when opened. However, at Hamper Lounge, even if the hamper is not yet opened, it will still look great because your gift for him will be enclosed in a sleek-looking box. You Can Add Personalisation We know good thoughts put into a gift go a long way, and that is exactly what you can do: you can add your own personalisation for the recipient. You could add a note yourself or ask the supplier to print out your message so that it matches the overall theme of the gift. Let them know why you chose the gift and don’t just simply say “Happy Birthday”. They will cherish the gift more with something very personal from you. Tell them how special they are and how happy you are to have them in your life. It will make a huge impact on them. Gift Hampers for All Seasons Gift hampers are available all year round, and you can buy them in any season. This means that you can use your creativity to make the gift a lot more meaningful. He will surely appreciate the thought, because these gifts are available at any time of year. An All-in-One Gift Finally, Cornish

gift hampers are a great gift because they are complete in themselves. There are so many options and varieties that it will not be that hard to find the perfect gift for him. Just look around, and you will surely find one that will match their interest and make them feel extra special. Cornish Gift hampers are very versatile. They can be your primary choice if you want to impress someone, and they can also be the best last-minute gifts.

Get the Best Selection for Your Hampers You can find plenty of hampers when you search for them online, but most of the time, they are just a collection of random food and knick-knacks that are so uninspiring and may seem just a little pointless. Hamper Lounge was founded with the goal of creating Cornish gift hampers that are truly unique and imaginative, rather than being filled with a random assortment of uninspiring and generic items. Cornish craft beers from some of the best microbreweries in Cornwall have been chosen for our collection. Our gifts are available for delivery in the United Kingdom. .

Clotted Cream Tea the Cornish Way.

Cream Tea's away! Hold your teacup with all fingers on the handle, but don't loop your fingers through or cradle your teacup. Always serve your neighbour before yourself – pour the person next to you a cup of tea, pass the scones or offer the Cornish clotted cream before you take for your own dollop of jam. The Cream Tea originated from the south west of England, The earliest record of a Clotted cream tea or at least, some form of cream tea, dates back to the 11th century. The forever debated should it be cream first or jam first on a cream tea? What is the difference between a Cornish and a Devon cream tea? The only actual difference between the two counties take on a cream tea is the order in which the jam and cream are placed on to the scone! In Cornwall, the jam is smoothed on first, before being topped with a heaped spoonful of cream and in Devon the scones are topped with cream on the bottom followed by the jam. :yum: The cream tea is a British institution that is loved everywhere in the UK, but perhaps no two counties love it more than Devon (or Devonshire) and Cornwall. Arguments abound as to which location is the real home of the cream tea, with minor differences in each tea service. Regardless of which side you’re on, they’re both a delicious way to spend an afternoon which I’m sure you will agree!

The water craft were very varied from the K1 and K2 Marathon Kayak's to Sit on Kayaks and Stand Up Paddle Boards.

The swim runner's were the first to start racing, with a water start from a barge moored on the river to the slip way which was great viewing for the spectators they ran of into kilminorth Woods to start the first run to Water Gate.

The water craft were then started in groups on ability and type, competing we had Three father and son team's, a husband and wife team and a family of four in a Canadian Canoe.

The competitors all completed the race and then enjoyed a BBQ and Prize giving of course all the prizes were edible and Cornish.

It was a really fun evening and I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.
