How To Give An Ethical Hamper


Ethical HampersDoes it help you sleep at night?

In the below ramblings we will take you through what makes an ethical hamper, and more specifically what makes our hamper an ethical hamper.

In answer to the second question yes, yes it does. Although that may be the food and booze rather than your conscience. 

Everybody knows that hampers are great, especially when they are packed with style & attention to detail. But typically not much notice is given to our impact on the environment, we are determined to help minimise the wastefulness of gift-giving and make every celebration ethical and environment-friendly.

SUSTAINABLE

  • At Circa, we do things a little differently. We don’t send out wicker baskets, but instead, more for you and more for the planet. We offset our carbon footprint by planting trees, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere and aiding bio-diversity. All our boxes are 100% recyclable, and we use eco-friendly wood wool made out of timber from sustainable and well managed forests - it’s also 100%

LOCAL SUPPLIERS

  • Our suppliers all share a progressive outlook, with wonderful, natural and sustainable Most are based close to home in the West Country, keeping our food miles low and helping to support local, independent, like-minded businesses.
