Our eclectic hamper range includes the chilli lovers hamper, a super-duper deluxe Cornish hamper, the ploughman’s special and the chocolate indulgence hamper.

Because our solid beech-framed Eden Project deckchairs make such a perfect pair, we reduce the price when you buy two together. Made from wood sourced from European Sustainable Forests, our Eden deckchair range also uses locally produced organic cotton slings designed by Ley Honor Roberts.

3. Recycled glass planter with orchid
Our beautiful recycled glass range includes a range of plant pots in lots of colours that look stunning with an orchid. At Eden we source and grow all our orchids in the UK, reducing freight miles over orchids that are predominately grown overseas.

4. A lovely bunch of mugs
A quirky alternative to the classic tea set, this clever bunch of mugs allows you to carry three cups of tea in one hand. Made in the UK by an ethical design studio, the chamfered body and handle connects them together when you carry them together, and lifts the hot surface away from your fingers, preventing unwanted spillages. Clever, eh?

8. Green gardening tools
