Easter food gifts

With Mother's Day & St Patricks Day only just over, Easter is now fast approaching! With Good Friday on the 2nd April, Easter Sunday on the 4th & Easter Monday the 5th April.

The Easter holidays are generally a time for family get-togethers, be it a family picnic, barbeque or sit down dinner. This is why a food hamper is an increasingly popular Easter present. Our new spring range of hampers are perfect for a family feed, as they contain a mixture of sweet & savoury gourmet items, fresh meats such as ham & salmon and pressed apple juice. http://www.irishgourmet.co.uk/spring-summer-hampers.html



Irish Gourmet is also pleased to introduce some special Easter-themed gift baskets this year, to compliment our existing good food hampers. Our Easter gifts baskets are perfect presents for children & contain cute stuffed animals such as bunnies & chicks, chocolate easter eggs as well as lollies & candies. You can also add extra items to a basket if it is for more than 1 child to enjoy!



Our Easter presents can be delivered directly to the lucky recipients, across Ireland & the UK for only £3.99. Courier companies will not be delivering on Good Friday & Easter Monday, so we suggest picking a delivery date of the 1st April at the latest. So why not send your kids, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, godchild or family an Easter gift basket today & they can enjoy it together over the holiday period.

Send a gift basket for Mother's Day (Sun 14th March)

Mums spend most of their time looking after us, and everyone else for that matter. Some mums don't make much time for themselves, so why not send her a hamper full of yummy treats so she can put her feet up and indulge this Mother's Day.

Whether she prefers tea & biscuits, wine & cheese or is a bit of a chocoholic, we have gift baskets to suit all tastes.

We will also be including a cute Mother's Day balloon & gift card, with all orders quoting "Happy Mother's Day" in the gift card message.(*While stocks last). So you can pick a gift hamper from any of the sections on our website.

Please get ordering ASAP to ensure you avail of this offer. Mother's Day in the UK & Ireland is on Sunday 14th March, so we are aiming to deliver all Mother's Day gifts on Thursday 11th or Friday 12th March.
