A few new hampers at Rainbow Designs

I've mentioned previously that we'll be getting some fabulous new hampers here at Rainbow Designs, well these aren't them. He he. They are new to the website but not 'the' all new ones that are coming soon. IYKWIM.

Anyway, without further confusing you here are the new gifts I've recently added to our website:

Her Birthday - $90 A simple but elegant hamper that's made for celebrating with. Champagne can brighten their spirits if they've hit a 'milestone' birthday that they're just not quite ready for or toast to the start of something new and exciting. Bubbles for the win!

His Birthday - $70 A classy gift for a classy guy. For he's a jolly good fellow and deserves a bit of pampering and lux in his life, even if it is just for the day.

Father's Day 2016 - Sept 4

I'm lucky enough to be relaxing on a deck chair in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with my wonderful dad on HIS day! We're currently heading back to Sydney after spending a few glorious days sailing around Papua New Guinea. Told you I was lucky!

Dad says he's not that great a fan of cruising but it didn't take much twisting of the arm to go on this, or the one last November :-) I think he's hooked, maybe not as much as my mum and I but I'm sure if any is!! If I won lotto I think I'd just travel the world on board a cruise ship, actually scrap that, I WOULD travel the world! What's not to love, food, views, new places, food, someone makes my bed, great company, food.....

I left my business in very capable hands and have know doubt that everything is running smoothly. Hopefully they've been run off their feet with Father's Day orders, a bonus is on their way if they have! We've got quite a few gorgeously yummy gift hampers I just know any and every dad would love to receive. My dad included and maybe he just will ;-) We've got a beer hamper I know he wouldn't mind finding under his cabin bed on Sunday - shame he can't drink the beer until we leave the ship but I'm sure one of the many bars on board will be able to help him out!

I've seen many Father's Day come and go since opening my online gift shop and it still makes me smile when orders come in and sometimes even brings a tear to my eye when I read some of the gift tag messages. Such a special privilege to be part of people's special occasions and events. Let me tell you it never gets old. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for entrusting us at Rainbow Designs to provide that special someone in your life with a very special gift just made for them.

Happy Father's Day, love you dad.

Father's Day is Sunday 6 September 2015

Father's Day is one of those events that sneaks up on us every year. While we may have dad constantly in our heart, sometimes we struggle to order the gifts on time because... well... life just gets in the way.

At Rainbow Designs, we have a great range of lolly gifts and hampers to please the fussiest of dads and here are some of our favourites.

Big Chocolate Box: $43

A very impressive kilo sized chocolate box presented in a fabulous, reusable keepsake tin.

Lollies include, but are not limited to, M&Ms, freckles, clinkers, chocolate bullets, caramel buds, milk buds, cobbers, fantas, jaffas and smarties.

Yum, yum and yum!

Boutique Beer and Savoury Snacks Gift Hamper: $130

Craft beer is all the rage at the moment and for good reason, we think this beer and savoury snacks hamper will go down very well.

You even get a beer glass and coasters - what more could dad want?

Snacks include pretzels, corn chips, nuts and salsa.

Nuts About Sweets Gift Hamper: $60

This one has it all. Nuts, fudge, chocolate covered macadamia and three noodle boxes filled with lollies.

If you want to share this one with dad, best be there when it arrives because the contents won't last long.

Big Lolly  Box: $43

Equally as popular as our Big Chocolate Box, our Big Lolly Box is a popular choice for dad.

Presented in a reusable tin, lollies include jellybabies, snakes, raspberries, race cars, pineapple, milk bottles, strawberry & creams, chicos, jellybeans, red frogs, bananas, sherbies, redskins, milko chews, minties, gummi bears and licorice allsorts.

And if that's not enough, postage is included in the price of all hampers and lolly gifts, making shopping as simple as possible.

If you do decide to order one of our fantastic hampers (marked TGH - which stands for traditional gift hamper), we do recommend you order using Express Post to guarantee its arrival before Father's Day.

I know from your gift orders that many of you are super organised, and here I am still trying to work out my father's day plans,

What will you be getting up to on Father's Day?

Beer Appreciation Gifts

While we do appreciate our lollies and chocolates, our beer gifts are extremely popular for those looking to buy a gift for a special occasion.

Are you a beer connoisseur or know someone who is?  Our Craft Beer Hamper is a great way to introduce someone to the world of boutique beer.  This gift includes 16 bottles of premium Australian and overseas beer, beer coasters and 2 Bormioli Rocco Electra Beer Glasses.  To increase their knowledge of beer, it also includes the Gourmet Explorer Beer Book, fact sheets, tasting evaluation sheets and tasting notes.

If 16 bottles are just not enough, then try our Premium Boutique Beer Hamper.  It includes 30 bottles of beer (15 premium varieties), 2 beer glasses, fact sheets, tasting notes and even some chips, nuts and pretzels to whet your thirst.

We also have a Lager, Cider or Ale Gift Box on offer which features two bottles of your favourite brew, a glass and some nuts to complete the package.  For only $79 including postage these make the perfect gift for the beer lover.  And for the same price we also have our Blue Tongue Gift Hamper featuring 4 Blue Tongue Lagers, crispbread, beer nuts and olive oil.

As William Shakespeare said, "For a quart of Ale is a dish for a king" so treat yourself and your friends to some kingly goodness today.
