healthy gifts

Birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, get well soon gifts…regardless of the occasion you may want to send someone you love a healthy gift.  But without wrapping up a stalk of broccoli in a bow perhaps you need a bit of help.  Healthy gifts come in all varieties- is the recipient watching their weight/sugar/salt intake?  Perhaps they have special dietary needs and wish to omit gluten/nuts/dairy from their diet? Based on their individual needs and wants we can help you to design a healthy gift to suit.

Helathy gifts depend on the person who is receiving the gift, so first determine their needs.  If they are in hospital consider that a melon or pineapple may be more trouble than it is worth.  Hand held fruit is always a winner, with only the natural sugars needing to be taken into consideration for diabetics.

If salt is the enemy think natural- the less processed the food is, then the less salt it will contain.  Fresh fruit is perfect here, as is fruit juice and other treats such as Hampstead Tea and Ditty’s biscuits.  if it is sugar you are avoiding, why not send a cheese and oatcake combination?

For serious allergies stick with the brands that guarantee ‘free from’.  We stock foods from ‘Against the Grain’ ‘Doves Farm’ and ‘Sunnyvale’ that cater to these needs.

One easy solution to healthy gifts is fresh fruit- catering to most tastes and needs, it is always a winner and there is a great selection of seasonal fresh fruit available now.  With a delicious selection of healthy foods all wrapped up to make the perfect gift I highly recommend the Superfoods Breakfast Basket.
