Heather and Bale

A private family-owned company working in the heart of Northumberland, Heather and Bale work directly with local independent artisan producers to design and create their range of Luxury Hampers and Gifts.  

The visual presentation is very important to Heather and Bale when creating their hampers. The priority is sourcing the highest quality products, but they know that they are creating a “wow” moment when their hampers are opened and experienced for the first time by the lucky recipient.  They work hard on this part of the service because they recognise that their business is more than just putting random products together.  They carefully research flavours, food and wine pairing and design their hampers based on how these products will be experienced and enjoyed collectively.

Festive Northumberland Luxury Hamper – £297.00 – perfect to share with family over the festive period.

Birling Christmas Box – £82.50 – full of locally sourced & award-winning products.
