School is almost over and what better life could anyone ask for that to spend weeks in the sun... how I miss being a student! All their hard work is about to pay off when they are delivered with that wonderful certificate. What better way to show how proud you are then to treat them to a fantastic gift hamper with a personalised congratulations design and message!

Whether they are about to graduate from university or college, or maybe passed their exams, there’s a perfect design for your hamper lid from My Box of Delights.

We have a selection of lovely designs with stacks of books or an educated owl with the messages “Congratulations on passing your exams”, or go for the cap and gown designs with the simple “Congratulations” or “You’ve Passed!” Our popular “Someone has told me you’re a wise owl” design is sure to go down a treat for any happy graduate!

If they are just about to take their exams and you want to give them “food for thought” inside their gift hamper be sure to wish good luck with one our “Study Time”, or “Good Luck in Your Exams” designs. Maybe avoid the wines and beers for a good luck box though – you don’t want to risk being blamed for pre-exam celebrations!  Blueberries are an excellent source for “brain food” so be sure to pack in a selection of our delicious blueberry muffins!

Show how pleased you are for them, show how proud you are, and buy the best gift hamper for your special graduate!

Father's Day is just around the corner! So lets get thinking about the perfect gift!

Does your dad hog the BBQ? I know mine does! He won’t let anybody near it, it’s his little outdoor power kitchen and sure enough he’s got a whole weekend planned of sun and BBQ! For BBQ mad dads make sure you don’t miss out on the wonderful BBQ design for your gift hamper this father’s day!

Treat your dad to some cool beers, yummy cakes and biscuits, or savoury sauces in your hamper box for father’s day! Just think how pleased he will be, lounging around in the sun enjoying his treats. He’s sure to repay the favour for such a fantastic gift!

Don’t forget our delivery service will deliver direct to your lucky dad ready for father’s day, so you don’t have to rush out to the shops or spend hours in the queue in town. Just hop onto our home page at any time and place your order.

We’ve even made a ready-picked selection for you just for father’s day! Instead of trying to choose from our wide range of delicacies, one click will select our top treats for dads.

Although many of the dads who enjoy our gift hampers love the delicious goodies inside, most agree that the best part is the message and design on the wooden box. They make brilliant keepsakes that dads cherish for years! They can store all their car tools or gardening equipment inside, or in the case of my dad, a range of BBQ equipment! It’s a good job I upgraded last year to the large box, he’s been able to fit all his prongs and tongs inside this time!

If your dad loves fishing then be sure to choose him the fishing trip design! He can keep all his fishing bait (yuk) inside... just make sure he takes his toffee muffins out first though.

The car design is perfect for dads who love to tinker with their old MGs or Triumphs! They can store and organise all their small gizmos and gadgets for their car repairs inside, they could even turn it into a breakdown box – fill it with the essentials in the event of a breakdown and keep it nicely tucked into the boot of the car!

Whatever you’re dad is mad on, make sure you get it covered with our fantastic father’s day gift hampers! There’s only 3 weeks left, don’t miss out on your order!
