The Small Festive Hamper is only small in comparison to our Large Festive Hamper - packing in over 800g of the good stuff! The Small Festive Hamper includes a selection of cheeses from some of our favourite British cheesemakers, as well as a pack of award-winning Peter's Yard Crackers and an award-winning chutney from Galloway Lodge.
Inside each box, you'll also find collectible cards for each cheese, including information about the cheesemaker, history of the cheese, and awards.
And for every box bought, we'll donate a meal to a Trussell Trust food bank on your behalf.
