60th Birthday Hamper

From: £26.00 + Free shipping

A 60th birthday hamper you build yourself

Turning 60 deserves more than another bottle of wine or a boxed set they will never open. This 60th birthday hamper starts with something they will actually use, our Sixty Things To Do When You Are 60 box, and lets you build a hamper of treats around it. You choose what goes in, so it can be a small, thoughtful gesture or a generous spread, and the box is personalised to them.

The activity box at its heart

Inside the box are sixty sealed envelopes, each holding a suggestion of something to do over the year ahead. The ideas are a mix of things to do at home, days out and nights out, to be enjoyed alone, with a partner, or with friends and family. It is the part of the gift that keeps giving long after the birthday, and it is what makes this hamper work for the person who already has everything.

Choose the treats

Add as many treats as you like from our independent brands and ranges. There is GNAW chocolate, Border biscuits and a choice of retro and fizzy sweets, tea from Bird & Blend and coffee from Taylors of Harrogate, hand-poured Seventeen Minutes candles, and a range of bath and spa treats to add a bit of relaxation. Each treat is priced individually, so there is no set list to work through and no minimum. The hamper is exactly as full as you want it to be.

Ingredients and allergen information for each food treat are shown on that treat’s own product page, which you can browse in our treats section. If you are buying for someone with a specific allergy or dietary need, choose the treats that suit them, and get in touch before ordering if you would like us to check anything.

Personalise the box

Add the recipient’s name or a short message to the lid of the activity box for £4, and choose your print colour. The message field holds up to 21 characters, so keep it short. Personalised boxes are made to order, so please check the spelling before you buy.

A gift, sent ready

Send the hamper to yourself or straight to them. Add a gift message at checkout and we will print it and include it with the order, and every hamper goes out in plain packaging so the contents are not given away in transit or on the doorstep. We pack each one carefully, though please bear in mind the contents can move a little on the way.

Delivery

UK delivery is free, and we aim to dispatch within one working day. The dated estimate shown by the Add to basket button gives the current expected delivery date for your order. Because the hamper contains food, it can only be sent within the UK, not internationally.

Environment

We aim to produce gifts that are 100% recyclable, and we encourage all those enjoying opening envelopes to recycle them after they’ve completed their activities.

Our boxes are 100% recyclable, and are constructed from ‘greyboard’ which is made from a mix of recycled and waste paper. The outer wrap paper is also recyclable.

Where possible, the paper we use for our card and envelopes is sourced from FSC-certified suppliers.

Shipping Information

We wish we could hand deliver every order placed with us. Unfortunately, this isn’t possible – so we have to rely on the postman.

Most items ship for free in the UK. Where free delivery applies, it is clearly shown in the product information, so you will know before you order.

Free UK delivery is sent via Royal Mail Tracked 48 to mainland UK addresses. These are usually delivered within 2-3 working days, but this is not guaranteed.

We offer an upgrade to Tracked 24 (next working day) or express, which is sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery.

You can choose to have your order delivered to your own address, sent directly to the recipient, or delivered to a Royal Mail parcel locker or collection point convenient for you. Please note the lockers will hold the order for 3 days, and returned orders will be subject to an additional charge to resend.

We also offer free international shipping on orders over £60 to most countries. Our international orders are sent via Royal Mail International, and tracked depending on the destination.

Tracking is provided on all orders once dispatched and will be shown in your dispatch email.

We aim to send your order within 1 working day of receiving your payment. Orders received before 12pm UK time will be shipped the same day (excluding weekends and bank holidays).

*Shipping will be calculated at checkout, and any delivery costs required will be added at this point.
