Dry Fruit Gift Boxes

A festive gift box is the one food product almost nobody opens in front of the person who bought it, and the trade has organised itself around that fact. Volume is made up with roasted chana and low-grade raisins, coated pieces add weight cheaply and hide what is underneath them, and the ratio is left off the pack because printing it would settle the question.

Ours are built from the same graded lots we sell loose on the shelves, the ratio is printed on every box, and there is nothing in them you cannot also buy on its own and check the price of. That is the whole proposition: a box you could have assembled yourself, assembled for you.

What is in them, by weight

Every box states its contents as a percentage of net weight, excluding packaging. If a box is forty per cent walnut, the pack says forty per cent walnut, and you can go to the nuts shelf and see what that walnut costs by the kilogram.

There are no sugar-shelled pieces, no yoghurt coatings and no extruded filler. Those exist to add weight cheaply and to stop a mix tasting of its own ingredients.

Packed against the order

Boxes are assembled in small batches when they are ordered rather than held made-up in a warehouse. A mix ages at the speed of its fastest-spoiling component — usually the seeds or the softest berry, never the nuts — so a box that has been sitting is older than any single thing in it.

Single-ingredient gifts

A tin of properly graded saffron or a tray of dates is often a better gift than a mixed box, and frequently a cheaper one. It sidesteps the allergy problem that makes mixed boxes awkward, and it gives the recipient a quantity of one good thing rather than a little of nine.

Questions we get asked

Can I see what is in a box before I buy it?

Yes. Every box lists its contents as a percentage of net weight, and every component is separately available on our shelves at a stated price, so you can price the box yourself.

Do you include a message or invoice with the gift?

A gift order ships without a price-bearing invoice inside the parcel. A handwritten note can be included — add it in the order notes at checkout.

How long will a gift box keep?

Every box carries a blend date. A mixed box is best used within about three months of that date, because it ages at the speed of its shortest-lived component rather than its longest.

Can you ship directly to the recipient?

Yes. Enter the recipient address as the delivery address at checkout; the order confirmation still comes to you.
