Hello to all our customers in Ireland. Merry Christmas. As you know our gift baskets and hampers are extremely distinctive. Its the combination of freshly baked items, salmon and hams which sets a Basketsgalore Hamper apart from any other hamper in the European market. So although it may sound terribly boring, we thought our customers would like to know shelf lives of some of the more perishable items. For Hampers being dispatched today with salmon, chicken or duck, the Best Before Dates are as follows. Remember these are the earliest dates. New stock is arriving constantly which will extend these lives by several days.
