New Thomsons Coffee Retail Shop!

Scotland’s oldest coffee roaster, Thomsons Coffee, have just opened a new retail shop where you buy their full range of coffee and all coffee related accessories. Open to the public, the shop is located at Thomsons Coffee HQ (right next door to Scottish Hampers!) – so when you visit you can experience firsthand how the coffee is roasted and prepared, and enjoy the incredible aromas that accompany the traditional flame roasting process which is still done by hand in small batches on the premises.

If you can’t make it to the shop, check out the website where you can also buy the full range direct. Of course, Thomsons Coffees also feature in many of our Hampers, or you can select it from our list of products to Create Your Own hamper.

Thomsons Coffee

Did you know that Glasgow is home to Scotland’s oldest coffee roasters? Established in 1841, Thomsons have been roasting and blending their very own coffee for over 165 years. Thomsons coffee features in many of our Hampers or you can buy their classic Scottish Full Roast Coffee separately by clicking here.

Scottish Hampers at the Edinburgh Festival!

We were really excited to join up with the Edinburgh International Festival for a special competition to win one of our hampers and tickets to the Bank of Scotland Fireworks Concert. The lucky winner was Alan Bowers from Bonnyrigg. With the festival now over for this year, we’re already looking forward to next year!

Summer Harvest Oil

We’re loving Summer Harvest Oil added to our product list recently. You’ll fin them in our Build Your Own Hamper Section under Oils & Dressings. This double award winning Scottish Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil is a store cupboard staple that can be used for roasting, baking, stir-fries and for salads and marinades. Plus with a high Omega 3 content and no trans fats, rapeseed oil clearly has nutritional benefits over other oils.

Also just arrived is the gorgeous Summer Harvest Raspberry Dressing. A perfect combination of summer harvest cold pressed rapeseed oil and Dalchonzie Raspberry vinegar.

Take a break from the olive and give rapeseed a go. After all, Scotland isn’t known for its olive oil production but we can sure produce top notch rapeseed oil!

New Products Perfect for Summer!

We’re always on the lookout for new products, and we’ve just added two new drinks that are available to purchase either as part of a Build Your Own Hamper or as separate items.

Perfect for summer (which in Scotland is proving elusive), we’re now stocking the super popular Crabbies Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer and a range of Thistly Cross Cider - the only Scottish Cider company known to the National Association of Cidermakers.

Now we just need the sun…!
