We are a big fan of Mabie Makes here at Harrogate Mumbler, a beautiful local company that make sustainable inclusive children’s & family activities packs, hampers and keep sakes. Their ethos is all about the importance of spending quality time with your little ones and creating keepsakes and memories that last forever! Their Christmas range this year, is really something rather special.
We were lucky enough to be gifted their star on top of the Christmas tree product this year – their Mabie Makes Magical Christmas Hamper with Christmas Eve board. Ours was delivered in a gorgeous hessian bag – if you’re ordering one of these, I definitely recommend you add this. Not only does it look so pretty all presented like that – the bag is perfect to use as a sack for presents on the big day! Everything is so beautifully presented, you can tell it’s all put together by someone who really cares. The love just oozes out of it.
It’s already been planned that we are going to get our craft on on Christmas Eve morning and make it part of our Christmas traditions! There are beautiful ply wood star decorations – our plan is to make these into personalised place names for the Christmas table. The hamper comes with everything you can think of that you’ll need to decorate them – including the all important glitter! Plus a gorgeous little apron to keep the little one clean (famous last words!).
What really makes this hamper for me is the amazingly crafted Christmas Eve Smorgasbord. It’s been crafted out of out of Castle Howard Oak in Yorkshire. It is hand finished with a distinct fourth edge that is left rustic, meaning no two boards are the same. To make it even more unique flip the board over where the wood has been left un-oiled to allow you to leave your own family marks on the back. Write names, draw pictures or paint finger prints.
This is such a beautiful gift, that the whole family can get involved in. It can become one of those sacred Christmas Traditions, where we all have the chance to make magical memories and keepsakes. If you’re looking for something special to gift a family this year, I think this is the perfect gift!
