Listening to our Customers

We’ve always taken in pride in the fact that we listen to our customers and try to act on your suggestions and feedback to improve both our Christmas hampers and our service.

We know that people are sometimes don’t have the time to comment unless their experience has been one of two extremes, so we’ve gone a step further and made it even easier for our customers to provide their views on every part of the order process, from the first click onto the website, to the parcel arriving in their hands and beyond.

We’ve teamed up with independent review specialists, Feefo, who contact all of our customers with a 15 second survey, where customers can express their views on both our service and our products. We’re not allowed to edit the feedback in any way, other than to respond to points made by customers, so we really are taking on board the points raised by customers, both good and bad to see if we can improve our Christmas hampers and our service.

Even More Gifts Launched for Christmas

It’s little more than a month until Christmas and we’re really getting into the festive spirit here at Virginia Hayward. So much so in fact that our Product Development team have launched another 30 gifts to give you more choice than ever at Christmas time.

We haven’t restricted ourselves to Christmas hampers though; there’s the Winter Teddy, in his knitted woollen jumper, or 5 new gifts that we’ll personalise with your gift message directly onto the packaging. New to the range are a trio of ‘Edinburgh Preserves’ gifts, all packaged in a smart black gift boxes delivered directly to your recipient.

If you’re looking for something home grown, then you might like the ‘Union Jack Bag’ – a tote bag filled with quintessentially British produce and with a Union Jack emblazoned on the front of the bag itself. Vodka afficianados will recognise Chase Vodka as the English potato Vodka which recently won the San Francisco World Spirits competition. For the rest of us though, it’s simply a stunning looking Vodka which tastes even better than it looks!
