Shopping Cart

In preparation for Christmas we’re delighted to present a series of feature articles focussing on a few of our valued customers who create hampers that make the perfect gift.

It’s our great pleasure to introduce our 3rd customer in our hamper feature seriesA Taste of Bathand the company’s vibrant and dedicated founder Helen Rich.

This is our perfect small business customer because Helen has big ideas and a fabulously positive vision.  We have enjoyed working with Helen from day one, on both our stock boxes and more recently on bespoke boxes now her business has deservedly and impressively grown. She is warm and appreciative with an unwavering work ethic.

We love the fact that in these difficult times for independent retailers and small batch manufacturers that Helen is entirely supportive of local suppliers and their superb quality produce.

We wish her ongoing success and growth for 2019 and hope like us, you find her story an inspiration.

In Helen’s own words….

Taste of Bath creates beautiful gift boxes filled with the most delicious and unmissable food and drink, all sourced from within fifteen miles of Bath. We offer hampers for all occasions and all budgets, and whether you just want a little something or you’re splashing out on someone special, our byword is authenticity – from the fantastic small producers that we’re proud to support, to the small businesses we work with for printing, local deliveries, PR and more, to our gorgeous packaging from Foldabox.

We don’t just stop at scrumptious selections for birthdays, weddings and anniversaries either – we also offer a business gifting service, which is hugely popular both with local Bath businesses that want to celebrate their roots, and with businesses all over the world that simply appreciate the fantastic quality of the food and drink we’ve discovered.

Why did we choose Foldabox?

With our absolute focus on the very best quality and super-local sourcing, we knew we had something different to offer from the rest of the hamper market, and we needed packaging that was as special as the produce we chose to put inside – when you’re sending a gift, whatever the occasion, you want to make a fabulous impression from the very first moment.

We launched our collection of Bath Boxes in the spring of 2017, a range of stunning gift boxes created for us by Foldabox and each featuring a different selection of food and drink, and they’ve been a runaway success ever since. Now the collection ranges from our adorable little Micro Hampers, starting at just £12, all the way up to lavish corporate gifts worth hundreds of pounds, and with each gift box we send, Foldabox help us make it special and get that crucial first impression right.

However, eco-friendly packaging does not need to feel basic or compromised. In fact, the most effective sustainable packaging is not just recyclable, but designed to be kept.
