So, you’re settled in the Netherlands. You’ve mastered Albert Heijn’s self-checkout, and know where to score the best frikandelbroodje. Maybe you haven’t quite got the hang of riding a bike one-handed loaded up with a crate of beer and two children, but either way, you’ve got a semblance of a Dutch life going. Yet, as an international, you probably have special people in your life not living here. And those birthdays and special occasions may be tricky to mark in any significant or personal way if you are relying on the international parcel system…..It’s why gift hampers are a great solution when you live abroad. Imagine the surprise of a hamper of goodies landing on someone’s doorstep.
‘Time to Chill Out’ Gift Hamper
I was gifted a Time to Chill Out Beer Hamper from Gift Hampers Netherlands for review purposes. I was asked to choose a hamper and this is the one I chose.
The Time to Chill Out Beer Hamper came in a lovely little white rustic wooden crate (I have a thing about little wooden crates – I don’t know why) and it contained beer and snacks, as the picture on the site depicts.
🍺 What Exactly is Inside the “Time to Chill Out” Gift Hamper?
Well, drum roll please……. on opening…..
And then…
So the hamper contains a section of gourmet snacks and Irish craft beers – from Hope Beer, including a non-alcoholic IPA (perfect for my adult aged but not alcohol enthusiast son).
I loved it. It’s indulgent but not over-the-top. It made me happy to open this hamper so I would definitely send it to someone else as a gift. I think if you send a hamper that you wish someone would send you then you have got something right. It’s a modest hamper that says ‘I’m thinking of you and go celebrate’.
🌍 Why It’s Perfect for Sending Abroad
As internationals in the Netherlands, we’re no strangers to long-distance love—whether that’s with family, old uni mates, or colleagues from the last posting. But sending actual gifts? That can be a logistical nightmare. Ask any Brit here about sending or receiving packages to or from Britain since Brexit……
These hampers, though? They ship within the EU and to the UK. Smoothly. Reliably. No faffing with duties and taxes (Yes, Britain I am looking at you). It’s all included in the cost of the hamper. To see which hampers are delivered to each country visit the international destination page here.
One More Important Thing
Your purchase from Gift Hampers International supports charities too. So your gift gives twice. The supported charities are:
- Hospice Malta
- St. Leonard’s Hospice (UK)
- Irish Hospice Foundation
- Puttinu Cares (Malta)
Gift Hampers International is currently looking to expand its collaboration with charitable causes in other countries, so this list may grow.
