Our bestsellers this year have no doubt been the create your own hamper section – you guys love having final say on what goes into your gifts – and no wonder considering the average dollar spend was up by nearly a third on previous years. So far it has been a year of bigger hampers with the buyers preferring to choose their own additions to existing hampers or completely making their own from start to finish.

Every single hamper is another share of Hunter Valley produce and the passion and commitment that goes into the food and wine of the Hunter Valley. We truly appreciate your purchase and want you to know that you are making a difference right here right now.

Hunter Valley Vineyards Experience 2013

Hunter Valley Wine Hampers

The Hunter Valley Vineyards is cool, crisp and clear in the sunny winter light of late winter, August 2013.  The sky was blue with a few freckled clouds and we were not crowded going to the tourist attractions.

 As always, we love the traditional sign posts and you can always expect them to be the same - except for the roads which have improved since we last bumped along.

So went went back to the Vineyards, was we locals call going to the Hunter Valley Wine Region.  It was a cool sunny winter's morning and. for a Friday, business was cool also.  We managed to get a few images and a brief chat with the wine sommeliers as they focused on out of towners.

All in all a great scoping event for our future research for this season's 2013 Christmas Hampers.

Baby Gifts for Delivery and Privacy.

It is a thrilling time when someone you are close to has a new baby, and you want to make contact with them, but you are sensitive to the needs of the family for some down time.

Baby Bubbles Hamper $80

Some space and a little time to adjust to the new routine.
Let alone their home has already been visited and re visited and people from all their friendships and families have seen the new parents bleary eyed and in their pyjamas.


A thoughtful baby gift basket is a better way to share in the excitement without getting in the way. You can visit later, when everyone is more settled, but a baby gift basket full of helpful items is the best way to welcome the new family home for the first time.

Call 1300 284 684 to order.

Unique Baby Gifts - Ideas and Inspirations

Birth of a baby always calls for a celebration and hence the family members, close friends and other invitees begin to plan the gifts that they are supposed to present to the babies and their parents. There are many unique baby gift ideas to consider to share your blessings and wishes to the new family.

Historically, people have offered a photo frame as a preferred gift item for adults, in that it was a safe option and there was little to offend the recipient and the frame was easy to transport and deliver. Also, giving baby staples like clothing, accessories and health care consumables like nappies and bottles is not really that inspired and is almost like doing a bit of grocery shoppinf for the new parents.


When giving a blanket or clothing item, ever thought of stitching or printing the messages or blessings that you want to deliver to the newborn baby and make it one of the best among the unique baby gift ideas. This will in turn personalize the whole product thereby making it unique. The clothing things can include bibs, caps, baby shoes, etc.

Safety is another concern - always make sure you gift adheres to Australian Standards and has at least a basic quality control. For a gift idea with quality, handmade local Australian baby accessories, call 1300 284 684.

There are unique baby gift ideas that offer the options for personalized toys. Toys are one of the most demanding items for the babies as they understand how to use toys and play with them more than anything else. These are the items that you can buy even if you have a limited low budget. The photo frame, however, will help you to cherish the memories of your child when he grows up. All his first time activities like first crawl, first walk, etc. can be recorded and put into those frames as mementos. Earlier, you had to wander about the shops in search of the gifts, but now you do not need to do so as the online shopping facilities is a one site solution to your baby gift ideas.

If you still cannot decide, let me suggest a Fresh Fruit Basket or a Gourmet Hamper. Call 1300 284 684 for all your baby Gift Ideas.
