WIN! A fabulous picnic hamper for two from hampergifts.co.uk

Okay, so I appreciate that I run the risk of you all beating me to death with your umbrellas, but I want to take a minute to talk about picnics.  There’s really nothing better than heading out with a lovely stash of delicious food and unpacking all your goodies on a rug, ready to embrace the great outdoors (and stuff your face too).

To chase the rain clouds away, I’ve got a really lovely Hamper Gifts hamper to give away, including all sorts of yumminess like:

  • Cairnsmhor Parmesan & Pepper Oatcakes 150g (which, incidentally won a gold medal at the Great Taste Awards from The Guild of Fine Foods)
  • Olives Et Al Smoky Chilli Nuts 90g jar (another gold  winner at the Great Taste Awards)
  • Olives Et Al Beetroot & Thyme Dressing 100ml (yep, you guessed it, gold medal winner)
  • Karyatis Red Pepper & Feta Meze 100g
  • The Wooden Spoon Gooseberry & Sloe Gin Jam 42g (a gold Great Taste Award winner from The Guild of Fine Foods)
  • Cottage Delight Poachers Pickle 340g (and another gold winner!)
  • The Wooden Spoon Wholegrain Mustard & Spitfire Ale 42g
So I reckon all you need is some nice cheese and a crusty loaf, maybe a bottle of crisp white wine and you’re away.  And of course for dessert, there’s:
  • White Chocolate & Raspberry Cookies in Hessian Bag 100g
  • Cherry and Coconut Flapjack 120g
  • Moist Sultana Flapjack 120g
  • Baronie Belgian White & Milk Chocolate Sticks with Mocha Coffee Filling 75g
Plus, of course, you’ll have the gorgeous hamper, with the crockery and cutlery to keep for more picnics too!

Check out Hamper Gifts’ range of delicious food hampers, fabulous for gifts… or alternatively one of these wine gift hampers.  I love presents that are stylish but involve little effort on your part (in this case, parting up with your credit card details).  They come lovingly hand wrapped with gorgeous ribbons too.

Sadly, with this current monsoon-type weather, your lucky recipient might just end up enjoying it all as a carpet picnic. But hey, what’s the harm in that?

Just comment to enter.  The usual banter/what colour your underwear is/anything else thing will be fine.  Closing date: midnight, Wednesday 25th July 2012.

The small print: The winner will be selected at random from all entries received. The winner will be notified within 7 days of the closing date. The prize is as stated: no cash alternatives are available. This competition is open to UK entrants only. No persons under 18 years of age may place an order or receive goods from Hamper Gifts if the goods contain alcohol.

 

***********This competition is now closed – well done to Jayne Howarth who won the hamper! ***************

    To be honest I’m still sulking that I didn’t win the KitchenAid but here I am. I have no knickers on. Because I’m in my pyjamas, tsk.

    This hamper looks fab, worth getting dressed for to go on a pickernic.

  16. What a fantastic prize. I could put all our lamps in one room and turn them on together…that would be just as good as some sun. Wouldn’t it?

  17. Taffy's Mum says:

    Oh wow looks lovely and can’t go wrong with cookies and flapjacks!

  21. Helen says:

    Many of my efforts to go picnicking have been hampered (ba boom) to date by the grim Irish weather to date. I would, however, brave any weather to use this beauty!

  22. Kara Guppy says:

  30. susan barrie says:

    I’m still not hopeful that the weather is going to improve despite the “move” of the jet stream away from the UK – so I think a carpet picnic would be ace!

  31. Miss Lesley Boyce says:

    Oooh me, Yogi and BooBoo would have a field day with this picanic basket. Fabulous!!!!!!!

  32. Jen says:

    Swooning with hamper neediness here! I haven’t been on a picnic for about 30 years – the memory of being trapped in the car in the bucketing rain, three siblings and some warm egg sarnies lingers still… Ugh.

  33. Miriam Walters says:

    Wow, that basket looks amazing lots of yummy goodies to enjoy in the sun now it’s finally arrived! Theres nothing like a picnic with the family and not have to spend hours preparing it beforehand!

  34. Mairi Black says:

    Wow…the weather has just turned itself around too!

  35. Zoe Hurley says:

    ooo looks delicious! I would like to enter please, it has been suggested that I comment on my underwear to make me a winner… I am toying between being honest (shameful bridget jones’) or come over all Anastasia Steele as a desperate ploy to win (beautiful, silky, slinky victoria secret type knicks …) xxx

  36. kileen says:

    I would love this hamper & all the lovely things in it – especially the gin jam.

  37. Charlie says:

    Wow – Sloe Gin Jam, yummy! This would be perfect for our planned summer holiday/ maternity leave. We plan on picnics in the park everyday, rain or shine, after all, when you’re nearly 4 years and nearly 4weeks old, what’s a bit of rain?!

  38. Therese says:

    I can see me with that hamper on my arm, skipping through the fields and then laying down on my lovely, warm picnic rug to enjoy the delights within.
    Or rather it will be claimed by my 9yr old son as his new ‘thing to do’ with his friends after school in the park.

  39. Rainie Bish says:

    this looks great and the contents sounds amazing.

  40. Kate Goodall says:

    Nom nom nom. Looks amazing.

  41. Rachel says:

    Last time I entered I managed to pop out a poem in a few minutes! I’ve been trying my hardest just now with the picnic hamper words but nowt is forthcoming! Waaait here one comes…

    I am indeed hankering
    To go picnic hampering
    To the beach I’d be scampering
    Do you want to come to?

    That’s it!!! A thirty second moment of crap
    Here is the optional information you requested!
    ! Knickers are pink n silky n are frankly doing my head in. I’m having to hoik em up every few minutes.

  42. Johnny says:

    Glad to see the Picnic alive and well

  43. This looks very awesome indeedy!

  44. Jo H says:

    Yes please!!

  45. Helen T says:

    Does it come with some sunshine? I’d settle for just the sunshine to be honest!

  46. Katy says:

    HUBBA! Put all that food in my big fat mouth right now! I would bloody love to win this.
    Oh. And I’m wearing big fat pregnancy apple catchers. Fetching! See, I need this hamper to woo Himself; the undercrackers aren’t doing me any favours x

  47. Fran Ryan says:

    Even if the sun doesn’t shine I would still sit and stroke it – show it that it is still loved and wanted!

  48. Lara says:

    Stripy knickers,spotty PJs, floral duvet… Is that some kind of night time fashion crime? Right now I would like this very much as a midnight feast to ease the recovery from vet hospital night shifts back into normal life! Although I think I could manage a cheeky daytime picnic with my wonderful girlie housemates as a mega thankyou for 3 years of fabulousness before I move out. Let the gin-based memories unfold…

  49. Maria Webster says:

    My kind of picnic, no preparation required. Just need to find the perfect picnic spot deserving of these contents. Think I’ll go with The Edge in Alderley :)

  50. Lizzie says:

    I heart hampers. Seriously heart.

  51. Sandy Calico says:

    I would love to win and take my family out for a lovely picnic in the new forest. Would be spending quality time together which is very much needed! Thanks for the opportunity to enter :)

  55. Kate sutton says:

    Underwear? What underwear??

  56. Diane Goodwin says:

    Ahh always a good excuse to get into the great British weather. At least the food would be great (if not a little soggy). Basic undercurrent is my desperate “pick meeeeeee!” vibe as usual. ;-)

  57. Cornishson73 says:

    So many yummy things my heads literally spinning! oh and boxers black!!!

  58. Finally some sunshine!

  59. Liane Shaw says:
