About Us
It is no wonder it is called the "art of gifting", it's not always easy. Hitting the sweet spot with a gift that is perfect for the recipient, whilst staying in budget and showing that you care can be a minefield. Thankfully, here at Ribbon & Wicker, we have done all the hard work for you, offering a wide range of gifts and hampers for a variety of tastes, occasions and budgets.
From culinary to pampering, from birthdays to Christmas, we have it all, even beautifully handmade cards which we handwrite for you with your lovely message. And if you can't find what you are looking for, just get in touch with the Ribbon & Wicker team to discuss bespoke or corporate options.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring support to small businesses, artisans and the environment through curated hampers and gifts that showcase unique and sustainable products. We believe in creating a positive impact by promoting local talent, preserving traditional crafts and reducing waste, while delivering a truly memorable gifting experience for our customers.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the leading provider of purposeful and responsible hampers and gifts, recognised for our commitment to empowering small businesses, artisans and preserving the environment. We will inspire others to join us in creating a better future through conscious consumerism and promoting a culture of giving that makes a difference.
Our Promise

All our Ribbon & Wicker products have been carefully selected and tastefully put together to create exclusive gifts for our customers.
Each item we source goes through a screening process in which we analyse whether the supplier:
-
Operates sustainably
-
Is a UK independent or family run business
-
Utilises high quality and natural ingredients
-
Offers artisan and handmade products
-
Practices responsible sourcing
-
Meets our branding requirements
-
Provides sustainable, recyclable or reusable packaging
This process allows us to fulfil our promise to:
-
Support artisans and independent businesses
-
Offer great quality products and customer care
-
Run a sustainable business taking care of the environment
These objectives shape what we do every day. We work hard to source unique, quality products from suppliers who meet our criteria and share our ethos.
Gifts that keep on giving
We reject throwaway culture, in fact, as part of our commitment to sustainability, we include in each hamper a Ribbon & Wicker card (on recycled brown paper) which promotes recycling and reusing the items received in the hamper. We seek to assist customers in finding ways of continuing to utilise the contents of our products long after the initial use.
Finding ways to promote conscious consumerism is something we think about every day here at Ribbon & Wicker.
We invite you to visit our Sustainability page where you can find useful tips and ideas on ways you can re-use your items. And if you think there is something we could be doing better, please get in touch. After all, sustainability is a journey, not a destination!
Thank you for reading. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Take care,
Ribbon & Wicker Team
