Today’s post is an interview with Rebecca, one of the buyers for Lords Gifts. We hope this “Look Inside Lords” will give you a clearer idea about our gift range and what we’re all about. Rebecca is dedicated to making sure our gifts are always of great taste, high quality and design. Rebecca’s dedication and great eye for detail is the reason why many of our customers come back time and time again!
L. Hi Rebecca! How do you select the products that go into our Hampers?
R. Hi! Throughout the year I’m always looking around to source exciting and innovative products that will make us stand out from our competitors! I attend trade shows and often select products that have won in competitions such as the Great Taste Awards. I talk to various producers and when possible, I try to choose handmade regional produce to help give our gifts a luxury edge. You wouldn’t be able to find the products in our gifts and hampers in the big supermarkets.
L. I don’t know much about wine so how would I know which gift to send?
R. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a wine connoisseur! We’ve been importing wines for over ten years so we always ensure good quality wines to complement the foods in our gift range. Like our foods, many of our wines have received awards at major international wine shows. You’ll just need to decide if your recipient would prefer red, white, beer or bubbly!
L. Do you have gifts for those with limited budgets?
R. Yes! We have gifts for all sizes of budget. We even have the option of choosing a gift by price on the sidebar of our website www.lordsgifts.co.uk. If you’re after something in particular that you can’t find on the website, just get in touch. We’re more than happy to help customers create bespoke hampers and gifts.
L. Is presentation important to you or do you mainly focus on taste?
R. Yes! Presentation is crucial; a great tasting gift will lose its appeal if the presentation is poor. We pride ourselves in our stylish hampers and wine and cheese gifts whilst never compromising on taste. Many of our gifts are presented in wooden boxes, wheat braid hampers, faux leather cases and wicker trays. Your recipient will be able to keep these long after the gift has been consumed!
L. How do you pack your gifts?
R. All of our gifts are packed on site; it’s our way of keeping an eye on things! We like to be involved with the journey of our gifts from start to finish. During very busy periods, I’ve even helped pack some gifts myself! Each item is carefully wrapped by hand to ensure the gift is received in perfect condition.
L. How will the recipient know who the gift is from?
R. We provide stylish gift cards with your personal message free of charge, so your recipient will definitely know it’s from you. No doubt you’ll receive a big thank you as soon as they’ve opened it! You can even select a delivery date to make sure it arrives on time for a special occasion. The fact you can order weeks in advance means you now have no excuse for forgetting Birthday’s or Wedding Anniversaries!
L. Thanks Rebecca!
R. Anytime!
