Founded in her family estate in the Cotswolds forty years ago by Carole Bamford, the Bamford brand is inspired by the land and lifestyle. Geranium is one of her favorite ingredients, and she grows more than 100 varieties of it in her greenhouse. This gift set features eight geranium products—for the home, bath and body, and comes in a reusable / regiftable wicker hamper. Though products could always be ordered and sent to the US, the brand launched its US site today, which provides easier shopping without additional fees for tariffs, etc.

We’ve been fans of Blue Bottle Coffee since we first wrote about them in 2006. The Oakland start up has grown into a multinational brand with a large corporate owner, yet has still retained its soul as a craft brand. Their Bright instant coffee was released in October 2024 and is available in both single use packets and a 15 serving jar. Alongside our constant search for the best coffee wherever we travel, we’ve come to rely on Blue Bottle’s Bright Craft Instant Coffee to fill in the gaps, The flexible light roast supports your preferred brewing method and works just as well in cold water as it does in hot, with or without milk. The 60g jar delivers 15 servings.
