Hamper Heaven
The word “hamper” conjures up images of picnics and outdoor activities, but how about a hamper that is all about staying put in front of the telly?
With the Euros kicking off in Germany, we plan to spend many hours this month watching football on TV, so perfect timing for this Match Day Hamper from luxury treat brand Imp & Maker. It’s crammed full of goodies for the perfect match day experience, including delicious Dingley Dell dry cure smoked streaky bacon, Boston Sausage Farmhouse sausages, award-winning Noam Bavarian Berlin craft lager, and a thrilling range of savoury nibbles to sustain us through every minute of a match. Sounds like a winner!

Sometimes eating healthily can be a teensy bit dull, so three cheers for Kallo who have come up with these tasty Lentil & Pea Veggie Cakes with Thai Curry.
They’re high in fibre, gluten-free, made from plant protein and are only 40 calories a pop. Even better, they actually taste nice!
