Why Trust Us
Disclosure
Somehow, the second lockdown feels harder. In what would normally be a joyful time of year, we’re forced to stay home and isolate. If you’re worried about a friend or family member who’s shielding, has had a particularly difficult year or someone you really miss, care packages and postal gifts are the way to show them you care. Whether you say it with wine and cheese, afternoon tea or vegan beauty, it’s the thought that counts. Here’s some inspiration for Coronavirus care packages to send this winter…
Best Care Packages
LA FROMAGERIE
Nothing says I love you more than a care package from La Fromagerie. Gift items include the ‘Cheese and Champagne’ box packed with ‘Fourme d’Ambert’ – the connoisseur’s blue cheese, and ‘Chaource’ – semi-soft, with a dense crumbly texture and a useful accompaniment to a bottle of P. Louis Martin NV Brut Champagne. For something a bit more creative, choose the ‘Fondue Savoyarde Box’. It has everything you need to make the perfect cheese fondue. Our favorite has to be the ‘Regional France’ box bursting with Bordeaux, cheese, biscuits and Pyrenees Honey that will see them through lockdown and beyond.

Say I am thinking of you with a dependable house plant – they serve as great companions during lonely periods of lockdown. From Pippa the peace plant to Jethro the hanging indoor plant with beautiful tumbling leaves. Ken, a classic palm, who’s big and showy, to Franky the Aloe Vera, stylish and very, very low-maintenance. There is something for everyone.
