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 Countdown!

Father’s day is catching us up on the 20^th June and I know we’re all trying to find the best way to tell our dads how much we appreciate everything they do for us. The single day in which we try our very best to thank him for all the times he’s helped us (whether we asked him to or not)!

Take a moment and think about all the things he’s done for you. Whether he helped you learn to ride your bicycle, took you to your first football match, shouted at you for “borrowing” his credit card for a shopping spree... or maybe he’s just always been there for you on the other end of the phone whenever you really needed someone to talk too.

To celebrate father’s day we have a wonderful selection of delicious goodies every dad will absolutely love. Make sure you include some of our high quality beers, a must for watching the World Cup!

We also really recommend trying out our Rum & Butter Fruit Cake in your father’s day hamper, the delicious fruit cakes are extremely popular and once your dad tastes them he’s sure to agree why!

For golfing enthusiasts then don’t miss out on our Golf Ball Chocolates which are sure to raise a smile! They are a fantastic match to our golfing design for your personalised hamper lid.

To make the perfect gift hamper, why not add a fantastic personalised message for your father. If you’re stuck for the perfect message then why not read some of our best father’s day messages below for inspiration!

1. Any man can become a father, but only someone special can be a daddy xxx

2. Save a beer for when England win the World Cup!

3. When the car broke down, you were there. When the turkey caught fire, you were there. When I needed those red shoes you were nowhere to be found!

4. Thank you for another 365 days of being the best dad ever!

5. Make sure mum doesn’t pinch your chutney!

6. I know how much you love your ginger biscuits dad! Bon Appetite!

Don’t forget, we can personalise your lid design with a photo and border design! You can still have a personalised message on the front, but can choose a photo your dad would love to keep forever.

Make sure you order your gift hamper before 17^th June to ensure delivery for father’s day 2010.
