I wanted to send a gift to our friends as a sympathy gift, as their husband/father died suddenly. I thought about flowers, but another friend said that plenty had been delivered. We live in the U.S. and part-time in the UK, with plenty of family and friends in the UK. We are unable to make it to the funeral (will be in the UK next month), so my husband and I wanted to send something that the family could use as they were hosting many friends and family. They told me it was all "fab." They particularly liked the yogurt coated Brazil nuts and cranberry and felt that the white wine was very good, too. They shared the contents with one of our really dear friends, as we hoped they would. I have sent sympathy food/wine gifts in the U.S., but never in the U.K. It was much appreciated and everything, including prompt delivery, went well. I'll definitely use this service again. You should think about a "sympathy" hamper offering, as I think it may be more common in the U.S. Thanks again for the good service as well as quality of the hamper and its contents.
