Frequently Asked Questions
Is there anywhere I can view your hampers?
Some of our hampers are now available to view and purchase at a handmade store in Rockhampton, called Our Shop. They are located at 104 William Street.
How do I get my products featured in your hampers?
The contents of our hampers will change seasonally, and the types we offer will expand as we grow. We currently plan hampers 3-6 months in advance and are always on the lookout for new products to include. If you're a hand-crafter based in Regional Queensland, who makes items that you feel aligns with our branding, that will fit in our boxes, please email us or send us a message on Facebook. Include a brief description about you and your business and some photos of items you think would be suitable, for us to keep on file.
Can I choose the items in my Hamper?
All of our hampers are pre-made, in limited quantities, based on the handcrafted stock available at the time. For both ourselves, and a lot of our suppliers, making stock for our hampers is their second job (or even their third). So we try and order a variety of related items in small quantities that will tell a 'story' to the gift recipient. Please like us on Facebook for regular updates on what hampers are currently available.
Can I specify a delivery time?
We offer next-day delivery. As we both currently work full time, hamper deliveries are usually done before and after work and during our lunch breaks. Hamper delivery routes will be determined by our Route Planner based on the address' of orders received. We are unable to take requests for specific times, however, you can request the date of delivery.
What should I write in the 'special instructions' section?
Please tell me everything I need to know to get the hamper to the recipient or their front door. For example: How to get in. Which gate to use and where is the latch? Which reception area to take it to. Will I be harassed by dogs or magpies? Where is the safest spot to leave it if no one is home?
DOG POLICY: If a dog is able to get to me between the front gate and the front door (even if it's a friendly one) I am unable to deliver the hamper to this area. Please leave me instructions as to where I can leave it, such as the garage or side entrance, or leave me the recipients number to call when I arrive. Alternatively, please consider getting it delivered to their place of work instead.
If the hamper is being delivered to a hospital, please let me know which ward they are in and the room/bed number if you know it.

We keep small quantities of hampers in stock to maintain freshness. We kindly request that corporate orders allow us a 4 week turn-around to ensure availability of quantity of items from our smaller suppliers.
