Basket Case
The Great Little Hamper Company
Holidays = fun. Packing = not.
Especially when little jet-setters are involved.
The Great Little Hamper Company sells boxes and tins filled with educational and ecofriendly kiddie kit for newborns to 10-year-olds.
Babes will appreciate the Butterfly Garden (organic cotton babygrow, Burt’s Bees potions), while bigger ones will want the Heart Cookie Baking Kit (apron, chef’s hat, ingredients) or Pirate Hamper (wooden toys, fancy costume). The candy-filled Naughty but Nice box will keep car passengers mute for hours.
Send as a gift or buy several to occupy your brood this summer.
Because wherever you go, you’ll want to pack it in.
Available online at thegreatlittlehampercompany.co.uk.
