Lovely hamper, dissapointed the message wasn’t sent with it.
The hamper was lovely, however there was no message sent with it, although we’d asked for one to be included, so the recipient didn’t know who it was from. Evri also left it outside which I’m not sure was best for food stuff.

Reply from Virginia Hayward
Good Morning,
Thank you for your feedback.
I have checked your order and can see there is a gift message present.
This would have been on the outside of the delivery carton on a peel and reveal label.
On our presentation and packaging section on the website we do advise where this would be located and an image so you are aware.
Kind Regards
Isabella
