All about our packaging

At Feelgood Organic Hampers one of the most common questions we are asked by our customers is how do we package our hampers?  So today I thought I would show off our gift boxes and tell you why we chose this particular solution.


Just over 4 years ago when I started Feelgood Organic Hampers I started looking around for baskets to pack them in.  Up until this point my image of a hamper was a basket packed with produce wrapped in cellophane but I knew I wanted to do something different for my company.  I wanted something that would stand out, that would ensure that recipients of the gift would remember this hamper and the person who sent it.  I also wanted something that would enhance our brand and promote our eco-friendly and ethical ethos.


I looked at lots of different baskets, some were inexpensive made in India and China, both the air miles associated with these and ethical concerns I would have about the conditions in the factories where they were made meant that they were not an option.  Some were beautifully crafted and Irish made but sadly beyond the price I was able to pay for packaging.  My market research had also flagged that baskets were not popular with people who received hampers, they complained, that amongst other things they caused clutter in their homes.  So my next step was to look at gift boxes, packaging that could be recycled.  Again I looked at all the major suppliers in Ireland, I visited packaging companies, met salespeople and eventually, with the help of our company's designer Francis Taaffe came up with a solution that fulfilled the brief.  A box which mimicked the brown paper and string style of packaging, a design which evoked nostalgia, packaging which could be recycled.  Each box is tied with string and a tag and hand stamped with the company logo.


The box has worked really well for us, it has enhanced our brand by making it memorable, it's also memorable to the gifts recipients which means our clients are happy.


Because the boxes are mostly made in Ireland, because they can be reused and recycled, because they contain recycled material this is packaging you can feelgood about.


Customised Gift Boxes


We offer corporate clients the opportunity to customise their gift boxes by replacing the Feelgood Organic Hampers logo with their company logo.

Why Feelgood Organic Hampers for Corporate gifts?

Today I realised I had been blogging for over two years yet hadn't told you why a Feelgood Organic Hamper is a perfect gift, what makes us tick, what our aims are.

We believe our job at Feelgood organic hampers is all about giving people the feelgood factor. 

• We can help you make your clients and customers Feelgood
• We can help you make your staff Feelgood
• We can help you make your friends and family Feelgood
• Best of all we can give you that feelgood feeling which only comes from giving a special and appreciated gift.

• We help our suppliers feel good by supporting small local artisan producers as much as possible.
• We endevour to source fairtrade products which make workers in the developing world feelgood.
• Everything we sell is organic which means we make the earth feel good.

How can all this good Karma rub off on you and your business?

If your in business ask yourself:

Do you value repeat custom? 

Of course you do!  When a client or customer gets a gift from you it could be the one thing that makes them pick up that phone and place an order.  I have sent out small gifts to clients and potential clients and have received emails, phone calls and orders virtually immediately. For the people that weren’t ready to order at that exact moment, the gift made it a lot easier for me to talk to the right person the next time I called.

By showing your customers that you value them you are inspiring loyalty.

Do you value word of mouth?

Of course you do! An improptu gift can become a talking point. When you finish a contract with someone, leave a gift behind as a surprise, soon enough they will be talking about you and the surprise gift you left them.

Do you want to improve staff morale?

In the current climate it is easy for staff to feel deflated, many are just waiting to hear bad news and a deflated staff is an inefficient staff.  To combat this run a competition, set a target and offer rewards to the winners.

We can work on a gift solution for you from as little at €5 which could cause that customer to pick up the phone again,

That could cause that customer to tell their friends about you.

That could make your staff member work extra hard to be rewarded.

If your not in business and just want to buy someone a great gift:

You can choose from our range of hampers online or we can tailor a gift to your specific needs.  We offer delivery throughout Europe.  Order online or call us on +353 (0) 59 863 8999 or contact us through our website: www.feelgoodhampers.com

Announcing our new product range.

The Midnight Feast

The Jacob Marley

This week has seen the launch of the new range of organic Christmas hampers, occasion gifts, new baby gifts, and corporate gifts from Feelgood Organic Hampers. It seems like we have been working on this new collection for ever and it is great to finally see the new products online.

Some of the most exciting additions to our range this year are the products by 'Bambu'. Created on fair trade projects around the world the bowls and servers are made from certified organic, sustainably grown bamboo. Bambu is a stunningly good example of a company founded on corporate social responsibility (CSR), looking through their website it is clear that no stone has been left unturned in creating the guiding principles of the company. The products themselves are beautiful and we are delighted to welcome them to the Feelgood Organic Hampers family.

Another welcome addition to this years hampers are the Natural House certified organic household cleaning products. Produced from fully biodegradable organic ingredients the 'dish spa' and 'surface spa' are guaranteed to have the least environmental impact possible. As well as being certified organic by the Soil Association they are also Vegan Society approved. We have included them in this years 'New Pad' hamper.

We've only been online with the new range for a couple of days and already the Christmas Hampers are selling well. We are once again stocking the ever popular puddings and cakes by Village Bakery and as we speak several cases of the best brandy butter I've ever tasted are on their way to us.  

If you are interested in ordering a gift, be it for Christmas or any occasion have a look at our website. I'd be happy to talk to any of you about your gift requirements. 

Remember to order your Christmas gifts early to avoid disappointment.
