Sustainable Luxury: How We’re Making Our Spring Hampers More Eco-Friendly
At Todhunter, we believe luxury and sustainability should go hand in hand. As we welcome spring—a season of renewal and growth—we’re proud to share how our spring hampers are evolving to reflect our deepening commitment to ethical craftsmanship and eco-conscious living.
Today’s luxury customer is more aware, more discerning, and more connected than ever to the impact their choices have on the planet. That’s why we’re proud to lead the way in offering spring hampers that celebrate the beauty of the season while treading more lightly on the earth.
Thoughtful Sourcing: Ingredients with Integrity
Every item we include in our hampers is carefully considered not just for flavour and quality, but for how it’s made and where it comes from.
Local & Seasonal: Our spring collections prioritise seasonal, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. Supporting British artisans and small-batch producers reduces food miles while celebrating regional excellence.
Organic & Natural: We favour ingredients grown without harmful chemicals and with an emphasis on organic farming methods, ensuring a cleaner, greener supply chain.
Ethically Produced Treats: Many of our chocolates and biscuits now include Fairtrade-certified ingredients, supporting sustainable livelihoods for growers and producers around the world.
Responsible Packaging: Beautiful, Reusable, Recyclable
Packaging is one of the most visible ways we demonstrate our commitment to sustainability.
Recyclable Materials: From card inserts to tissue wrap, our hampers increasingly use materials that are fully recyclable or compostable.
Reusable Hampers: Our iconic wicker baskets are not only elegant, but also designed for life beyond gifting. Many of our customers repurpose them as storage for linens, garden accessories, or as home decor.
Plastic-Free Options: We’re reducing single-use plastics across our range and introducing biodegradable alternatives wherever possible.
Partnerships That Share Our Values
We carefully choose to work with makers and partners who prioritise environmental and social responsibility.
Artisans & Makers: Our suppliers share our passion for ethical practices, whether it's beekeepers focused on pollinator welfare or chocolatiers using sustainable cocoa.
Small-Scale Producers: We celebrate the craftsmanship and care that goes into every jar, bottle, and box included in our hampers. These partnerships not only ensure superior quality but also help maintain local economies.
Delivering with Care
Even our logistics reflect our sustainability goals:
Carbon Offset Delivery: Where possible, we offset the carbon emissions of our deliveries through certified environmental programmes.
Eco-Friendly Packing Fillers: We use recyclable paper shreds and compostable void fillers to protect your gifts without harming the planet.
What’s Next: A Greener Future for Gifting
We know that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. That’s why we’re committed to continuous improvement:
Expanded Plastic-Free Range: We’re working to phase out plastic altogether from our hamper contents and wrapping.
Ingredient Transparency: We’ll soon be offering more information about sourcing and sustainability for each product included in our hampers.
Customer Recycling Support: We're creating easy-to-follow guides for repurposing and recycling every element of your hamper.
