We started Handpicked to give people a trusted source of unusual and inspiring gift ideas. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a present well received and it’s our mission to make that simple. Our Expert Panel make sure we stay on track but we hope, with our blog, we’ll hear more from you too. Comment away!

Handpicked’s Summer Catalogue is here!

We are unbelievably excited that all our lovely customers will be receiving their new Handpicked Collection catalogue over the next few days. We’ve been beavering away for months to source out our new favourite things. The aim of this catalogue is to inspire people to spend more time outdoors with our stunning range of picnic essentials and, new to Handpicked, a whole range of party ideas to help you entertain in style.

All the new products are available on our website at the moment but if you’d rather see the catalogue and all the travel tips, recipes and expert advice that goes with it, click here to request a free copy. It’s full of our new favourite gift ideas, not that we haven’t placed an order for ourselves already.

I’m most excited about our new picnic range. Make sure you’re sorted for any event this summer, be it Wimbledon or Secret Garden Party Festival – we’ve got the kit:
