Our hampers are built around Premium Ceylon Cinnamon from our own family plantation in southern Sri Lanka, in the family since 1925 and cared for by four generations. It flies to Melbourne and never sails. Every order is packed by hand here. This Christmas, we have added three Christmas Specials with GODIVA chocolates and Penfolds wine, alongside three of our favourite hampers.

Wrapped in red

Every Christmas hamper comes with a bundle of Alba Ceylon Cinnamon Quills, tied in red ribbon with the Auburn tag. Alba is the finest grade of Ceylon Cinnamon: quills no wider than 6 mm, peeled, rolled and dried by hand. The bundle is our Christmas gift to you, free with every Christmas hamper, while stocks last.

The Christmas Specials
